GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all of the

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA Keep your work area clean and well-lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in a potentially explosive environment, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks,

which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-prong grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Avoid contact between your body and grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out of an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for

outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating a power tool could result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in. Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch in the ON position invites accidents.

POWER TOOL SAFETY PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or

key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool could result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance allows for better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, a hardhat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or another practical means to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work in your

hand or against your body is not stable and may lead to loss of control. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the speed that it was designed to work at. Do not use the tool if it cannot be turned ON or OFF by the power switch. Any tool

that cannot be controlled using the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

When not in use, store tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. If it is damaged, have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended for your model by the manufacturer. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE

Tools must be serviced by qualified personnel only. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance instructions may result in a risk of electric shock or injury.

created when using this high-speed saw can damage your hearing and lungs. Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose

clothing. Always keep hands out of the path of the

saw blade. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the saw blade. Do not cut material too small to be

securely held. Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vice

to hold the work when practical. Both hands are required to operate the tool. Make sure there are no nails or foreign

objects in the area of the workpiece to be cut.

To avoid injury from accidental starting,

always remove the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or installing / removing a saw blade, accessory or attachment.

DANGER: The laser light beam

that is projected from the front of the laser level can be dangerous to eyesight. Never allow anyone to stare directly into the light. Staring directly into the light beam may result in serious eye damage.

DANGER: Never use the laser

level in the presence of small children.

Small children may stare directly into the laser light beam causing serious eye injury.

WARNING: Keep the extension

cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you are working with the power tool. Make sure any extension cord that is used with this tool is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table on the following page shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.

LEVELING LASER BEAM

The laser level can be used in both horizontal and vertical positions. To confirm the tool is “level”, shim the front or rear until the spirit level bubble (1) is centred between the lines on the sight glass (2) (see Fig. 14). To raise one end of the level, place shims (3) under the “low” end until the bubble in the sight glass indicates a “level” position. SELECTING LASER BEAM TYPE

The laser beam can be set to two different types. Single dot

To create a single dot laser beam, slide the light diffuser (1) upward (see Fig. 15). Horizontal line

To create a horizontal laser line, slide the light diffuser (1) downward (see Fig. 16).

MITRE GAUGE

The laser level can be used in conjunction with the mitre gauge for marking the cutting line on a workpiece. This is particularly handy when marking ceramic tiles. Although the mitre gauge can be used as a guide for marking any workpiece, ceramic tiles have been used for illustrative purposes. 1. Turn level up side down see (Fig. 17).

2. Insert mitre gauge pivot pin (1) into the matching hole in the level.

3. Place flat edge of mitre gauge (2) against flat side of the workpiece (3).

4. Rotate the level on the mitre gauge pivot pin to the correct angle. NOTE: For precise mitre angles, the

ball in the mitre gauge will engage with the detent in the level at the most commonly used angles (15, 30, 45, 60, 75 & 90°).

5. Use either a grease pencil or scribing tool to mark the cutting line in the appropriate location. NOTE: Most ceramic tiles can be

marked with the grease pencil. This is the preferred method of marking. If the grease pencil will not mark a specific type of tile, use the scribing tool supplied.
