DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WITH A
DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If damaged,
have replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
Do not operate charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified
serviceman.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a
qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
from outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk.
Do not use charger outdoors.
Disconnect charger from power supply when
not in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.

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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Arbor
The shaft on which a blade or cutting tool is mounted.
Bevel Cut
A cutting operation made with the blade at any angle
other than 90 ° to the miter table.
Crosscut
A cutting or shaping operation made across the grain
of the workpiece.
Compound Miter Cut
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time.
Freehand
Performing a cut without using a fence, miter gage,
fixture, work clamp, or other proper device to keep the
workpiece from twisting or moving during the cut.
Gum
A sticky, sap based residue from wood products.
Miter Cut
A cutting operation made with the blade at any angle
other than 90 ° to the fence.
No Hands Zone
The area between the marked lines on the left and
right side of the miter table base. This zone is
identified by no hands zone labels placed inside the
marked lines on the miter table base.
Resin

As it applies to the workpiece, that area which will be,
or has been, cut by the blade.
Set
The distance that the tip of the saw blade tooth is bent
(or set) outward from the face of the blade.
Throat Plate
A plastic throat plate inserted in the miter table that
allows for blade clearance. This provides for a zero

Throw-Back
Throwing of a workpiece in a manner similar to a
kickback. Usually associated with a cause other than
the kerf closing, such as a workpiece not being
against the fence, being dropped into the blade, or
being placed inadvertently in contact with the blade.
Through Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends
completely through the thickness of the workpiece.
Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being done.
The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to
