English • ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring, bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing these clamps and make a dry run before making a cut. • Use only 14" type 1 wheels rated at 4100 rpm or higher. • Allow cut off parts to cool before handling. • Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool. • NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL. • Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area. • Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base. • DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL. • DO NOT USE CIRCULAR SAW BLADES OR ANY OTHER TOOTHED BLADES WITH THIS TOOL. Serious injury may result. • DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing motor brushes may ignite combustible materials. • Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder. This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an unsafe condition. The wheel may come apart. CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. CAUTION: Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid touching or adjusting while hot. Keep cordset and materials away from spark deflector. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA). Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. • Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body. For your convenience and safety, the following warnings are on your Heavy-Duty 14" (355mm) Chop Saw: FOR SAFE OPERATION READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. DO NOT USE TOOTHED BLADES. USE ONLY REINFORCED WHEELS RATED 4100 RPM OR HIGHER. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
