5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-  
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of  
electric shock if your body is grounded.  
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary  
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.  
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  
conditions. Water entering a power tool will  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
Tool Use and Care  
15. 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 and may lead  
to loss of control.  
7. 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.  
16. 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.  
8. 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.  
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Personal Safety  
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use 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.  
18. Disconnect the plug from the power  
source before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing 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.  
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely  
to bind and are easier to control.  
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools  
that have the switch on invites accidents.  
21. Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tools  
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-  
viced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools.  
12. 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 may result in personal injury.  
22. Use only accessories that are recom-  
mended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for  
one tool, may become hazardous when used  
on another tool.  
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enables better control of the tool in  
unexpected situations.

24. 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 risk of  
electric shock or injury.  
SERVICE  
23. Tool service must be performed only by  
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-  
tenance performed by unqualified personnel  
could result in a risk of injury.  
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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
USB072-1  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from  
repeated use) replace strict adherence to cutter safety rules. If  
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious  
personal injury.  
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting  
area and wheel. Keep your second hand  
on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If  
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot  
be cut by the wheel.  
3. Do not reach underneath the work. Do not  
attempt to remove cut material when wheel is  
moving.  
CAUTION: Wheels coast after turn off.  
4. Always observe that the wheel has  
stopped spinning before placing tool  
down on bench or floor. A coasting wheel  
will cause the tool to walk backwards, cutting  
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it  
takes for the wheel to stop after switch is  
released.  
2. Keep your body positioned to either side  
of the wheel, but not in line with the wheel.  
KICKBACK could cause the tool to jump  
backwards. (See Causes and Operator Pre-  
vention of Kickback)  
4
 
5. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands  
or across your leg. It is important to support  
the work properly to minimize body exposure,  
wheel binding, or loss of control.  
tion your body and arm to allow you to  
resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces  
can be controlled by the operator, if proper  
precautions are taken.  
When wheel is binding, or when interrupt-  
ing a cut for any reason, release the trig-  
ger and hold the tool motionless in the  
material until the wheel comes to a com-  
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the  
tool from the work or pull the tool back-  
ward while the wheel is in motion or KICK-  
BACK may occur. Investigate and take  
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of  
wheel binding.  
When restarting a tool in the workpiece,  
center the wheel in the kerf and check that  
teeth are not engaged into the material. If  
wheel is binding, it may walk up or KICK-  
BACK from the workpiece as the tool is  
restarted.  
6. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces  
when performing an operation where the  
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or  
its own cord. Contact with a livewire will  
also make exposed metal parts of the tool  
liveand shock the operator.  
7. When ripping always use a rip fence or  
straight edge guide. This improves the  
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for  
wheel binding.  
8. Always use wheels with correct size and  
shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.  
Wheels that do not match the mounting hard-  
ware of the tool will run eccentrically, causing  
loss of control.  
Support large panels to minimize the risk  
of wheel pinching and KICKBACK. Large  
panels tend to sag under their own weight.  
Supports must be placed under the panel on  
both sides, near the line of cut and near the  
edge of the panel.  
9. Never use damaged or incorrect wheel  
washers or bolts. The wheel washers and  
bolt were specially designed for your tool, for  
optimum performance and safety of opera-  
tion.  
To minimize the risk of wheel pinching and  
kickback. When cutting operation requires  
the resting of the tool on the workpiece, the  
tool shall be rested on the larger portion and  
the smaller piece cut off.  
Do not use dull or damaged wheel.  
Unsharpened or improperly set wheels pro-  
duce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,  
wheel binding and KICKBACK.  
Wheel depth and bevel adjusting locking  
levers must be tight and secure before  
making cut. If wheel adjustment shifts while  
cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.  
Use extra caution when making a “Pocket  
Cut” into existing walls or other blind  
areas. The protruding wheel may cut objects  
that can cause KICKBACK.  
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind  
the tool. If kickback occurs, the tool could  
easily jump backwards over your hand, lead-  
ing to serious personal injury.  
10. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kick-  
back:  
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,  
bound, or misaligned wheel, causing an  
uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the work-  
piece toward the operator.  
When the wheel is pinched or bound tightly  
by the kerf closing down, the wheel stalls and  
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back  
toward the operator.  
If the wheel becomes twisted or misaligned in  
the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the  
wheel can dig into the top surface of the  
material being cut causing the wheel to climb  
out of the kerf and jump back toward the  
operator.  
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or  
incorrect operating procedures or conditions  
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-  
tions as given below:  
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and posi-

11. When operating the tool, keep the cord  
away from the cutting area and position it  
so that it will not be caught on the work-  
piece during the cutting operation. Oper-  
ate with proper hand support, proper  
workpiece support, and supply cord rout-  
ing away from the work area.  
or bolt. Damage to these parts could  
result in wheel breakage.  
16. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the  
workpiece before the switch is turned on.  
Wait until the wheel attains full speed  
before cutting.  
WARNING: It is important to support the  
workpiece properly and to hold the tool  
firmly to prevent loss of control which  
could cause personal injury.  
17. Stop operation immediately if you notice  
anything abnormal.  
18. Never attempt to cut with the tool held  
upside down in a vise. This can lead to  
serious accidents, because it is extremely  
dangerous.  
12. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades  
or other sawblades. Such blades when  
used on this tool frequently kick and  
cause loss of control leading to personal  
injury.  
19. Do not stop the wheel by lateral pressure  
on the disc.  
20. Some material contains chemicals which  
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust  
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-  
rial supplier safety data.  
13. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or  
damage  
before  
operation.  
Replace  
cracked or damaged wheel immediately.  
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.  
21. The tool must be used only for dry cutting.  
15. Be careful not to damage the spindle,  
DO NOT use water.

The cut is made by pulling the tool toward you (not by push-  
ing away from you). Align the notch on the base with your  
cutting line when performing a cut.  
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to  
be cut without the wheel making any contact. Then turn the  
tool on and wait until the wheel attains full speed. Move the  
tool toward you over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat  
and advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed. Keep  
your cutting line straight and your speed of advance uniform.

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 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
