Followingthis rulewill reduce the risk of electricshock,fire, or seriousinjury. • 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 drew. Awire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 f_st or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersizedcordwill cause a drop in line voltage resultingin lossof power and overheating. • Important Rules For Battery Tools • Batter/tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your better/tool or when changing accessories. 4 Do not place batter/tools or their baHefies near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosionand possibleinjury. Batteriesvent hydrogengas and can explode in the presenceof a sourceof ignition,such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of sedous personal injury,never use any cordlessproductin the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propeldebds and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. Do not charge baiter/tool in a damp orwet location. Followingthis rule will reducethe risk of electric shock,tim, or seriouspersonal injury. • Your belier/tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F hut less then 100°F. Followingthis rule will reducethe risk of electricshock,fire, or serious personalinjury. • Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, batter/leakage may occur. If liquid comas in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with leman juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at Isesl 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reducethe risk of serious personalinjury. Additional Specific Safety Rules • DANGERI Keep hands away from cutting am and blade. Keep your second hand on auxilianj handle or motor housing. If both handsam holdingthe saw, they cannot be cut by the blade, • Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and boltwere specially designedfor your saw,for optimum performanceand safety of operation. • Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback: • Kasp your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the sew blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. Kickback is a sudden reactionto a pinched, bound,or misalignedsaw blade, causing an unccntmlledsaw to lift up and out of the workpiecetowardthe operator. • Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot pmtactyou from the blade below the work. • Chack the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly, Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentallydropped,lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retractinghandle and make sure it movesfreely and does not touchthe blade or any other part, in all angles and depthsof cut. Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spdng, If the guard and the spdng are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lowerguard may operate sluggishlydue to damaged parts,gummy deposits,or a buildupof debds. When the blade is pinchedor hound tightlyby the kerr closingdown, the blade stallsand the motorreaction drivesthe unit rapidlybeck towardthe operator. • • Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cute such as =Pocket Cuts" and "Compound Cuts". Raise lower guard by Retracting Handle. As soon as blade enters the mstadal, lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard shouldoperate automatically. • Always obeerve that the lower guard is covedng the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected,coastingblade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cuttingwhatever is in its path, Be aware of the time it takes for the bladeto stop after switchis released. If the blade becomes twistedor misalignedin the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig intothe top surface of the wood causing the blade to climbout of the ken'and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is a resultof tool misuse and/or incorract operating proceduresor conditionsand can be avoided by taking properprecautionsas given below: • • • When restarting a sew in the workplace, canter the saw blade in the kerr and check that teeth are not engaged into the mstedal. If saw blade is binding,it may walk up or KICKBACKfrom the workpiecaas the saw is restarted. • Support large panels to minimize the dsk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under theirown weight. Supportsmustbe placed under the penal on bothsides, near the lineof cutand near the edge of the panel. • Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpenedor impmpedy set bladesproducenarrow ken'causing excessivefriction, blade binding,and KICKBACK. • Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levera must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustmentsh_ftswhilecutting,it will cause bindingand KICKBACK. • Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objectsthat can cause KICKBACK. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to supportthe work properlyto minimizebody exposure,blade binding,or lossof control. • Hold tool by insulating gripping sudecse when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden widng. Contactwith a "live"wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool"live" and shockthe operator. • When dpping always use a rip fence for a straight edge guide. This improvesthe accuracyof cutand reducesthe chance of blade binding. • Always use blades with cowect size end shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Bladesthat do not matchthe mountinghardware of the saw will run eccentdcally,causing loss of control. 5 Maintain a finm grip on the sew and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator,if proper precautionsare taken. When blade is binding, orwhen intemupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the mutadal until the blade comas to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the sew backward while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigateand take corrective actions to eliminatethe cause of blade binding. • Neverusea batterythat has been dropbed or received a sharp blow, A damaged bakery is subjectto explosion,Pmpedy dispose of a dropped battery immediately. Failure to head this warning can result in serious personal injury. • Do not operate charger if It has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or othanNise damaged in any way; take It to a qualified serviceman.

Loss of controlcan lead to sadous injury, KICKBACK IS CAUSED CORRECT' BLADEDEPTHSETrlNG• BLADEEXPOSED ONEBLADETOOTH BELOWTHE MATERIAL TOBECUT BY: Fig. 11 • Inspectthe workpiece for knotsor nails before beginninga cut. Never sew intoa knot or nail. • Make straight cuts,Always use a straightedge guide when dp cutting.This helps preventtwistingthe blade in the cut. • Incorrect blade depth setting,See Figure 9. • • Sawing into knotsor nails in workpiece. Twistingbladewhile makinga cut. • Making a cut with a dull, gummed up. or improperlyset blade. • Always use clean, sharpand properlyset blades. Never make cutswith dull blades, • Incorrectlysupportingworkplace. See Figure 10. • To avoid pinchingthe blade, supportthe workpieco properly before beginninga cut. The right and wrong ways to supportlarge pieces of work am shown in figures 10 and 12. Fig, 10 • Forcinga cut, • Cuttingwarped orwet lumber, • RIGHT Tool misuse or incon'ectoperatingprocedures. 14 Fig. 12 • When making a cut use steady, even pressure, Never force cuts. STARTING A CUT • Know the right way to use your saw. See Figure 14. Do not cut waq_edor wet lumber, • Always hold your saw firmlywith both hands and keep your body in a balanced positionso as to resist the forces of kickback should it occur, When using your saw, always stay alelt and oxeroiso control. Do not remove your saw from workplace white the blade is moving, DEPTH OF CUTADJUSTMENT Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts shouldnot exceed 1/4 inch below the materialto be cut. More blade depthwill increasethe chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough, One blade tooth below the matedal to be cut works best for mostefficient cutting action. TO ADJUST BLADE DEPTH • Remove battery pack from saw. WARNING: Failure to remove battery packfrom saw could result in accidental starting causing possibleserious personal injury. • Fig, 14 Never use your saw as shown in figure 15.

TOHELPMAINTAINCONTROL: Hold your sew firmly with both hands. See Figure 17. • Always supportyour workpiece near the cut. • Supportyour workpiece so the cutwill be on your left. • Clamp yourworkplece so itwill not move dudngthe cut. Place your workpiece with its good side down, Note: The good side is the side on whichappearance is important, Before beginninga cut, draw a guidelinealong the desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on that port of yourworkpiece that is solidily supported, See F{gure 14. Never place your saw on that part of the workpiece that will fall off when the cut is made. See Ffgure 16. RIGHT Fig, 17 Depressthe lock-offbutton and squeeze the switchtdgger to startyour saw, Always letthe blade reach full speed, then guide your saw intothe workpiece. _i, WARNING: The blade coming in contactwith the workpiece before it reaches full speed couldcause your saw to "kickback" towardsyou resultingin cedous Injury. When makinga cut use steady, even pressure,Forcing causes roughcuts, could shortenthe llfe of your sew and could cause "kickback." WRONG REMEMBER: When sewing throughwork, the lower blade guarddoes not cover the blade, exposingit on the underside of work, Keep your hands and fingers away from cuttingarea. Any pert of your bodycoming in contact with the moving blade will result in serious injury, Fig, 16 After you completeyour cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove your saw from workpieee while the blade is moving. _k 16 CAUTION: When liftingyour sew from the workpiece,the blade is exposed on the undersideof your sew until the lower blade guard closes, Make sure lower blade guard is closed before setting your saw downon work surface, TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT A width of cut scale has been providedon the base of your saw. When making straightcross cutsor rip cuts, the scale can be used to measure up to four inchesto the right side of the blade. It can he used to measure up to one inch to the left side of the blade. When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notchon the saw base as shown in figure 18. TOPVIEWOFSAW GUIDEUNE RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE) BLADE GUIDENOTCH Use the rip guide providedwith your saw when making wide rip cuts.A five inchscale has been providedon the rip guide. When using the width of cut scale on the base in combinationwith the rip guide, cuts can be made up to 6 in. to the left of the rip guide or 8-7/8 in. to the right of the dp guide. The rip guide helps preventthe bladefrom twistingin a cut. The bladetwisting in a cut can cause kickback. TO ASSEMBLE • RIP GUIDE Remove battery pack from saw.
