SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH SAWS
1. Disconnect plug from power supply
before changing blades, making
cutting depth or cutting angle ad­
justments, lubricating, inspecting,
or when saw is not being used.
2. When retracting thè lower blade
guard, always use the retracting
knob on the guard.
3. Never tie back the lower blade
guard or its retracting knob.
4. When sawing never reach under­
neath the material for any reason.
5. Always be sure that the saw will
be properly grounded before plug­
ging into power supply. See fol­
lowing section.
6. Keep blade sharp..Dull blades may
cause the saw to swerve or stall
under pressure.
7. Wear safety goggles when the cut­
ting of material results in flying
particles. If material forms dust
when cut, also use a dust mask.
8. If you drop or damage the saw,
unplug it first; then check to see
if the blade and lower blade guard
operate
freely before resuming
operations.
9. If saw stalls, release the trigger
and disconnect plug from power
supply before attempting to loosen
the unit.

GROUNDING
EVERY ELECTRIC TOOL SHOULD BE GROUNDED while in
use to protect the operator against shock. This unit is
equipped with approved 3-conductor cord and 3-blade
grounding type attachment plug to be used with the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green colored conductor In
the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green wire
to a “live" terminal.
If your unit requires less than 150 volts, it has a plug that
looks like fig. “A". A special grounding adapter (Fig. “B") is
available from your dealer to permit using 2-wire receptacle
until the correct receptacle is properly installed. The green
grounding wire extending from the side of the adapter must
be connected to a PERMANENT GROUND such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
If you use an extension cord, be sure that it is a 3-conductor,
grounding-type cord. Grounding must be continuous from the
tool plug to a grounded receptacle.
When using the tool at a considerable
distance from power source, a 3-wire
grounding-type extension cable of ade­
quate size must be used for safety and to
prevent loss of power and over-heating.
Use the table at right for 120-volt tools.
For 220-volt tools, use wire size corre­
sponding to an extension length of I
/2
the contemplated length.
P.T.I. Safety Rule #12 applies to Exten­
sion Cords as well as the Tool Power
Cord. Before using cords, inspect them
for loose or exposed wires and damaged
insulation. Make any needed repairs or re­
placement before using your power tool.

BRUSHES
Carbon motor brushes should be inspected
frequently for wear. To inspect brushes,
FIRST, UNPLUG SAW FROM POWER
SUPPLY. Then, with a screwdriver, slide
the brush cover plates outward and the
brush spring will pop out. Put the spring,
with attached wire extended out of the
opening into the position shown at right
and tilt the saw so that the carbon brush
will drop out of the opening. If the brush
is worn down to the grooved line on its
side, a new brush is needed and can be
obtained from any of the locations shown
on the next page.
OWNER’S MANUAL
f
To reassemble, insert brush with worn
end toward
motor, or a' new brush with
longest distance from end to grooved line
toward motor. Next, insert the small brass
plate behind the brush, and then feed in
the spring until the round spring cap fits flush with the opening. This allows
the cover plate to be pushed back Into the closed position.
