VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,

etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.

A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS

INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE

TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the

motor.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an 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. Table 1 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 num-

ber, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES USB036-2

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from

repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw

safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can

suffer serious personal injury.

1. Wear eye protection.

2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.

Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It

can still cause severe injury.

3. Do not operate saw without guards in

place. Check blade guard for proper clos-

ing before each use. Do not operate saw if

blade guard does not move freely and

close instantly. Never clamp or tie the

blade guard into the open position.

4. Do not perform any operation freehand.

The workpiece must be secured firmly

against the turn base and guide fence with

a vise during all operations. Never use

your hand to secure the workpiece.

5. Never reach around saw blade.

6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to

stop before moving workpiece or chang-

ing settings.
