• Always use blades with correct size [(5/8" (16 mm)] and
shape (round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The
blade washers and bolts were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
• Don't unplug if plug or receptacle is wet. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
• Wait for the saw to come to a complete stop. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
• Never use any blades with expansion or segmented
(toothed) rims. This tool is not equipped with a lower guard.
WARNING: Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
Personal injury may result.
WARNING: Always plug extension cord into a RCD protected
outlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, always plug into a
RCD protected receptacle or outlet.
WARNING: Never use saw with salt water or a conductive fluid.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size for safety.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord

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.
