Notes:
ACCESSORIES CAUTION: Use only Accessories that are recommended by Power Glide for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Extension Cords. 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 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.. 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 electrical shock.. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instruction.. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock. Table.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presences of flammable 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 loose control. Electrical Safety. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodfied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electrical shock.. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.. Do not expose power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entaqngled cords increase the risk of electrical shock. 5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electrical shock. Personal Safety. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions to reduce personal injuries.. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. 6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 7. If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dustrelated hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.. Do not use power tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.. Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands 5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in a manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in hazardous situation. Service.

Plunge Cutting WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO WORKPIECE. It is not recommended to plunge cut any material other than wood. To avoid loss of control, broken blades or damage to the workpiece, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. Whenever possible, drill a /8" or bigger pilot hole in the area to be cut and start cutting with the blade in the pilot hole. This will avoid the need to plunge cut.. (SEE FIGURE 9) To plunge cut an inside Figure 9 hole, clearly mark the cutting line on the workpiece.. Set the bevel angle at 0º then lock the base plate. Note: Use a protractor or square to check the bevel angle between the blade and the base. Make a test cut in a scrap piece of material and measure the bevel angle.. Hold the tool firmly by the grip () and tilt the saw forward so it rests on the front edge of the base plate and in a position so the blade will not touch the workpiece when the switch is turned on. Note: Make sure the saw blade is within the perimeter of the area to be cut.. Start the saw and allow it to reach full speed. Slowly lower the tip of the blade onto the workpiece while making sure the front of the saw remains in contact with the workpiece. Allow the blade to cut through the wood. 5. Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the saw base rests flat on the workpiece. 6. Continue sawing toward the cutting line and complete the cut as required. Tips for Metal Cutting Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can be cut with your saw. To cut thin sheet material, sandwich the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to limit vibration and material tearing. Always use a fine tooth metal cutting blade (not provided) and run the saw at medium speeds when cutting metal. Use cutting oil to keep blade cool, increase cutting action and prolong blade life. Do not force the saw blade. Let it cut at its own speed. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: RISK OF CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, always use approved safety equipment, work in a well-ventilated area and wear dusk mask that filters out microscopic particles.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY Electrical Safety. Double Insulated tools are equipped with 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 fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified 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 system.. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock. Extension Cords. 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 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.. 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 electrical shock.. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instruction.. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

RISK OF EXPLOSION - Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres or in presence of flammable liquids or gases. Never touch the saw blade while it is moving. Do not touch the saw blade after operation, it will be very hot. Never hold workpiece in your hand. Any workpiece that is not adequately clamped in place may come loose and cause serious injury CAUTION: Remove all nails, staples, fasteners, foreign objects or other debris before sawing. Make sure there is enough space under and behind the work piece for the saw blade.. (SEE FIGURE 8) Adjust base plate () to the desired bevel angle. NOTE: Use a protractor or square to check the bevel angle between the blade and the base. Make a test cut in a scrap piece of material and measure the bevel angle. Figure 8. Clearly mark the desired cut-line () on the workpiece 5. Secure workpiece for the cut: Hold smaller workpieces with a vise. Clamp larger workpiece to a workbench or table.. Hold the tool firmly by the grip () during start-up and while in use. 5. Place the front of the saw base (5) against the workpiece and align the cutting edge of the blade with the cut-line on the workpiece. Start the saw and allow it to reach full speed. 6. Apply enough downward pressure to keep the base plate flush with the workpiece. Slowly move the saw forward to start the cut. Work slowly, do not force the tool, allow the saw blade to do the work. NOTE: Uneven base contact with the workpiece can cause excessive vibration, blade damage or breakage. Whenever possible, keep the base in firm contact with the workpiece. 7. When sawing curves, proceed slowly and do not use excessive twisting or side-to-side pressure - blade damage will occur. 8. Never cut material thicker than the retracted length of the blade. 9. Starter holes are recommended for all inside edge cutting. 9
