WARNING “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES
identied by BULLET (•) symbol listed BELOW and other safety
precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR BENCH TOP TOOLS
Work Area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Do not leave tool running unattended, turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlock, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
Electrical Safety
Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is compatible with
the voltage marked on the nameplate within 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that
specied on the nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. A moment of inattention or use of drugs, alcohol or medication while operating power
tools can be dangerous.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Roll long sleeves above elbows. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is “OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your nger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool will be thrown.

4
Do not overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious injury may occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near the tool such that it is
necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
Use safety equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable. It allows for work to shift,
causes binding of the tool and loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool for purpose not
intended - for example; do not use the ooring saw for slicing meats.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges,
are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the
arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth
are also pointing in the same direction.
Inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in place. Check moving parts for
binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation or safety features
of the tool. If damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modication is a misuse and may result in
serious personal injury.
The use of any other accessories not specied in this manual may create a hazard.
Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous when used on
an inappropriate tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualied personnel may result in misplacing internal wires and
components which could cause serious hazard.
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 hazard.
SAFETY RULES FOR FLOORING SAWS
Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any
adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may unintentionally start the saw, leading
to serious personal injury.
Flooring saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike products only. Do not use this saw
to cut metals, even with a special blade designed to cut these materials. Do not use this
saw to cut any masonry material, even with abrasive cut-off wheels. Cutting metals or
masonry materials could cause personal injury and tool damage.

5
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving
blade can be thrown with high speed at the operator.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or
braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
Be certain the ooring saw is mounted or placed on a level, rm work surface before
using. A level and rm work surface reduces the risk of the ooring saw becoming unstable.
This tool is not equipped with provisions for attaching an auxiliary fence. Insure that the
work piece is supported by the fence before cutting.
Plan your work. Provide adequate support accessories such as tables, saw horses,
table extension, etc. for workpieces wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer
than the ooring saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cutoff piece or workpiece
tips it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional
support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to
shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or pressured by any other means against
the spinning saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will help avoid
thrown workpieces.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed or bogged down, turn ooring saw “OFF”.
Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the ooring saw, then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or
damage to ooring saw.
After nishing the cut, turn ooring saw “OFF” and wait for blade to stop before
removing work or cutoff piece. If blade does not stop within ten (10) seconds, unplug
the saw and follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section. REACHING WITH
YOUR HAND UNDER A COASTING BLADE IS DANGEROUS
CROSSCUT OPERATION
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by
hand, you must always keep hand outside of the intended line of cutting. Do not use
this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped.
Do not feed workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Workpiece must be
stationary and clamped or braced by your hand. Saw must be fed through the workpiece
smoothly and at a rate which will not overload the saw’s motor.
Do not reach in back of the saw blade behind the fence with either hand to hold down
or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. The proximity of
the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. if workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it
with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no
gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped
workpieces can twist or rock and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting.
Also, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
Always use a clamp or a xture designed to properly support round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite”
and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch
the blade and be torn from your hand. A piece of molding, for example, must lie at or be
held by a xture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.

LOCATION
Use the ooring saw in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to
reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is
forced to stand in line with the blade.
KICKBACK
Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A “KICKBACK” occurs when a part of the workpiece binds
between the sawblade and the rip fence or other xed object. Workpiece binding the blade
due to misalignment, can also cause kickback. During kickback, workpiece rises from table
and is thrown toward the operator. Keep your face and body to one side of the sawblade, out
of line with a possible “KICKBACK”.
KICKBACKS AND POSSIBLE INJURY CAN USUALLY BE AVOIDED BY:
a. Maintaining the rip fence parallel to the sawblade.
b. Keeping the sawblade sharp. Replacing or sharpening anti-kickback pawls when points
become dull.
c. Keeping sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls in place and operating properly.
The spreader must be in alignment with the sawblade and the pawls must stop a kickback
once it has started. Check their action before ripping.
d. NOT ripping workpiece that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the rip fence.
e. NOT releasing work until you have pushed it all the way past the sawblade.
f. Using a Push Stick for ripping widths of 1-3/4” to 6” and using a piece of scrap wood to push
the workpiece to complete the ripping operations when ripping width is too narrow (less than
1-3/4”) to allow the use of a push stick.
g. NOT conning the cut-off piece when ripping or cross cutting.
h. When ripping, apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece between the sawblade
and the rip fence. Use Push Stick or scrap wood when appropriate (See item f. above).
PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE SPINNING TOOL:
DO NOT WEAR: Loose Fitting Gloves
Loose Clothing
Necktie,
Jewelry
DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR
ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken … such
as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety device or the power cord … cease
operating immediately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Wear safety goggles and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs during
extended periods of operation. Small loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
rear of the revolving blade can be thrown back at the operator at excessive speed. This can
usually be avoided by keeping the guard and spreader in place for all “THRU-SAWING”
operations (sawing entirely thru the work) AND by removing all loose pieces from the table
with a long stick of wood IMMEDIATELY after they are cut off.
c. NEVER turn the saw “ON” before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except
the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
d. NEVER place your face or body in line with the cutting tool.
• NEVER place your ngers and hands in the path of the sawblade or other cutting tool.

7
• NEVER reach in back of the cutting tool with either hand to hold down or support the
workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions where sudden slip could cause ngers or hand to move into a sawblade or
other cutting tool.
• DO NOT perform any operation “FREEHAND” — always use the fence to position and guide
the work for both rip cuts and crosscuts.
• NEVER hold onto or touch the “free end” of the workpiece or a “free piece” that is cut off,
while power is “ON” and/or the sawblade is rotating.
• Shut “OFF” the saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert,
changing the cutting tool, or making adjustments.
• Provide adequate support to the rear and sides of the saw table for wider or long
workpieces.
• Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since
these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kick back.
Therefore, be especially attentive to following proper set-up and cutting procedures for
ripping. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a potential kickback.
e. If you stall or jam the sawblade in the workpiece, turn saw “OFF”, remove the workpiece
from the sawblade, and check to see if the sawblade is parallel to the table slots or grooves
and if the spreader is in proper alignment with the sawblade. If ripping at the time, check to
see if rip fence is parallel with the sawblade. Readjust as indicated.
f. NEVER gang crosscut — lining up more than one work piece in front of the blade (stacked
vertically, or horizontally outward on the table) and then pushing thru sawblade. The blade
could pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of control and possible injury.
g. DO NOT remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become trapped inside the blade
guard while the saw is running. This could endanger your hands or cause a kick back. Turn
saw “OFF” and wait until blade stops
KNOW YOUR CUTTING TOOLS
Dull, gummy or improperly sharpened or set cutting tools can cause material to stick, jam,
stall the saw, or kickback at the operator. Minimize potential injury by proper cutting tool and
machine maintenance. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAWBLADE WITHOUT
FIRST TURNING THE SAW OFF.
a. NEVER use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-off wheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)
wire wheels or bufng wheels.
b. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
c. Make sure the cutting tool rotates in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the upper
guard. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed properly.
Keep the cutting tool as low as possible for the operation being performed. Keep all guards
in place whenever possible.
d. Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed less than 11,000
R.P.M. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter for which the saw was
designed. For greatest safety and efciency when rip ping, use the maximum diameter
blade for which the saw is designed, since under these conditions the spreader is nearest
the blade.
e. Make sure the table insert is ush or slightly below the table surface on all sides except for
rear side. NEVER operate the saw unless the proper insert is installed.

WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter 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 or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
There are additional safety instructions for particular operations of the saw in the
operating section. Read the rest of the manual for safe operation.
Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your ooring saw to become
commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufcient to inict
severe injury.
THINK SAFETY! SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR’S COMMON SENSE,
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALERTNESS AT
ALL TIMES WHEN THE FLOORING SAW IS BEING USED.
WARNING THE WARNINGS SHOWN BELOW CAN BE FOUND ON YOUR TOOL.
THESE WARNINGS ARE ONLY A CONDENSED FORM OF THE MORE
DETAILED SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS THAT APPEAR IN YOUR OWNER’S
MANUAL. THEY SERVE AS A REMINDER OF ALL SAFETY RULES NEEDED FOR SAFE
OPERATION OF THIS FLOORING SAW.

Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the
need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a
recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Lab oratories, CSA and Federal OSHA
authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation re quires care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualied service technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACE MENT PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, your tool is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact
a qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
change the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
Always use proper extension cord. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate
size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA
listed extension cords.
