Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:  Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•  KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
•  REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that 

keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

  KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
•  DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet 

locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

•  KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work 

area.

•  MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing 

starter keys.

•  DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 

designed.

•  USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not 

designed.

•  USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. When using and 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. The following table 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.

•  WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or 

other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. 
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts 
and should also be avoided.

  ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Also 

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have 
impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

 SECURE 

WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand 

and it frees both hands to operate tool.

• DON’T 

OVERREACH. 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•  MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-

formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT 

TOOLS 

before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, 

bits, cutters, and the like.

•  REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off 

position before plugging in.

• USE 

RECOMMENDED 

ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to 
persons.

  NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-

ting tool is unintentionally contacted.

• CHECK 

DAMAGED 

PARTS. 

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that 

is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and 
perform its intended function — check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its opera-
tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

•  NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave 

tool until it comes to a complete stop.

•  REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
•  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: 

a.  This equipment may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This 

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a quali-
fied electrician to install the proper outlet. 

b. The tool may be equipped with a 3-prong grounding type plug. This plug is to be 

used in a grounded outlet only. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician 
to install the proper outlet. 

c.  Do not alter the plug in any way.

Additional Safety Rules for Chop Saw
•  Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection. 
•  Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw 

is evident, discard the wheel. The wheel should also be inspected whenever you 
think the tool may have been dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.

•  When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel or if you are unsure of 

the condition of the wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for 
one minute.
 If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than 
one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the 
operator. 

•  In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, 

stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.

•  NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Personal 

injury will occur.

•  Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure in this manual.
•  Do not remove wheel guards or base.
•  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.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contains chemicals known 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.

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 disburse 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.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety 

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified 
safety equipment:

  •  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
  •  ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
  •  NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

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.

tions are as follows:

Power Supply 
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, “60 Hz” means 
alternating current (normal 120 volt, 60 Hz house current).
A voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause a loss of power and overheating.

Cutting Capacity
The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting capacity for many large pieces. 
Use the cutting capacity chart to determine total maximum size of cuts that can be made 
with a new wheel.
