● 

To prevent chop saw movement 

or tipping during cutting 

procedure, secure the chop saw 

to a workbench or work surface 

that is also secure. 

● 

Always use the vise on the chop 

saw to prevent accidents that 

could result in serious personal 

injury. 

● 

Never stand or have any part of 

your body in line with the path of 

the wheel. Doing so may cause 

an accident resulting in serious 

personal injury. 

Large, circular or irregularly 

shaped workpieces may 

require additional clamping 

in order to be properly secured for 

cutting. Use “C” clamps that can be 

mounted along the left and front side 

of the machine base. Also use blocks 

to hold material securely. Failure to 

comply could result in serious personal 

injury. 

To avoid accidental start-up of 

your chop saw, always make sure 

switch is off and “lock-on” feature 

is disengaged before connecting 

to power source. Failure to heed 

this warning could result in serious 

personal injury.

● 

USE ONLY CORRECT WHEELS. 

Do not use wheels with incorrect 

size holes. Never use wheel 

washers or wheel screws that are 

defective or incorrect. The maximum 

wheel capacity of your chop saw is 

14 inches.

● 

DO NOT REMOVE THE CHOP 

SAW’S WHEEL GUARDS. Never 

operate the chop saw with any 

guard or cover removed. Make sure 

all guards are operating properly 

before each use.

● 

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM 

CUTTING AREA. Keep hands 

away from wheel. Do not reach 

underneath work or around or 

under the wheel while the wheel is 

rotating. Do not attempt to remove 

cut material while wheel is moving. 

● 

NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE 

ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of 

the motor or sparking from cutting 

metal could ignite fumes.

● 

DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH 

DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. 

Have defective switch replaced by 

an authorized service center.

● 

KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN AND 

FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. 

Always use a clean cloth when 

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, 

gasoline, petroleum-based products 

or any solvents to clean tool.

● 

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG 

WORKPIECES. To minimize risk of 

tipping the saw, always support long 

workpieces.

● 

BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE 

SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE 

SECURE. ALWAYS USE THE VISE 

CLAMP to secure the workpiece.

● 

NEVER TOUCH WHEEL or other 

moving parts during use. 

● 

NEVER START THE CHOP 

SAW WHEN THE WHEEL 

IS IN CONTACT WITH THE 

WORKPIECE.

● 

NEVER cut more than one 

workpiece at a time.
