SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions”.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
   b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
   matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
   Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

3. Personal safety
   a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
   Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care
   a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
   tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service
   a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

MATERIAL CLAMPING AND SUPPORTING

• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the workpiece can be used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. B).
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will be level with top of the base (Fig. C). The cut off end should be free to fall down to avoid wheel binding.

Vise Operation (fig. D)
The vise (5) has a quick-travel feature. To release the vise when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank (7) counterclockwise one or two times to remove clamping pressure.
Lift vise lever (8) up. Pull crank assembly out as far as desired. Vise may be pushed forward into work without cranking. Lower vise lever (8) then tighten vise (5) onwork by using a crank (7).
Fence Operation (fig. E, F)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.The fence (4) can be adjusted two ways: to change the desired cutting angle and to change the spacing between the fence and vise.
To Change the Desired Cutting Angle
Use the wrench provided to loosen (do not remove) the two fence bolts (15). Align the desired angle indicator line with the slot line (16) in the base (3). Securely tighten both fence bolts before use. For more accurate square cuts, disconnect the power supply, loosen the two fence bolts, and push arm down until the wheel extends into base. Place a square against thewheel and adjust fence against the square. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use. When making a miter cut, the vise (5) may not clamp securely, depending on the thickness of the workpiece and the miter angle. Other aids (such as spring, bar or C-clamps) will be necessary to secure the workpiece to the fence when making these cuts.
To Change Spacing between The Fence and Vise
Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the two fence bolts (15). Adjust the fence (4) to desired locations. Insert both fence bolts in provided locations. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
Removal and Installation of Wheels (fig. G, H)

CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position. Do not make any adjustments while the wheel is in motion. Do not make any adjustments while chop saw is plugged into the power supply.

1. Push in spindle lock (11) and rotate wheel (9) by hand until wheel lock lever engages slot in inside flange(17) to lock wheel. Loosen the bolt (18) counterclockwise in the center of the abrasive wheel with the M10 Polygonal wrench (6). Bolt has a right-hand thread.
2. Remove the bolt (18), washer (19), outside flange (20) and old wheel (9).
3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat. Install the new abrasive wheel by reversing the above steps.
4. Do not overtighten bolt.
   WARNING: Check the work surface that the chop saw rests on when replacing with a new abrasive wheel. It is possible that the wheel may contact
   ANY ITEMS OR STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS
   ABOVE work surface (under the base) when the arm is fully lowered.

WARNING: Always keep the screw attached to the guard and make sure the center guard in the right position after replacing wheel and before use, to protect user from the high-speed rotating wheel.

Operation Tips for More More Accurate Cuts

• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive force will cause the wheel to glaze reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect causing inaccurate cuts.
• Properly adjust fence angle.
• Make sure material is laying flat across base.
• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and vibration.

Motor Brush Inspection and Replacement (fig.I)
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the tool. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position. Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect brushes, unscrew the two end cap screws (21) and remove end cap (22). Remove brush cap (24). Brushes (25) should slide freely in the brush box. If brushes are worn down to .3” (8mm) as shown in Figure I they should be replaced. To reinstall, push the new brush back into brush box. If replacing the existing brush maintain same orientation as when removed replace the brush cap (do not overtighten)Replace end cap and two screws. Tighten securely.
