SERVICE 23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 24. 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 create a risk of electric shock or injury. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. 1. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area. 2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 3. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully. 4. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation. 5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 6. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 7. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. 8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 9. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting. 4
