Additional Rules For Safe Operation
Knowyour power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Followingthis rule will reduce the riskof electrio
shock,fire, or seriousinjury.
Make sure your extension cord Is In good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to oarw the current your product
will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of st least 16 Is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feat or
leas In length. A cord exceeding 100 feat Is not
recommended. If In doubt, use the next heevlar
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heevler the
cord. An undersizedcord will cause a drop in line
voltage resultingin lossof power and overheating.
Important Rules For Battery Tools
Battery tools do not have to be plugged Into an
electrical outlat; therefore, they are always In
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories.
DO not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possible injury.
Batteriss vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of asource of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool In a damp or wat loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Your battery tool should be charged In a location
where the temperature Is more then 5O_Fbut less
than 100°1=.Followingthis rulewill reduce the riskof
electric shock,fire, or seriouspersonal injury.
Under extreme ueage or temperst urs oonditlons,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contacl with your skJn,wash Immediately with soap
and water, then neutrslize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets Into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
Immediate medical attention. Following this rulewill
reduce the riskof seriouspersonal injury.
Additional Specific Safety Rules
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade. Keep your second hand on atadllary handle
or motor housing, if both hands are holdingthe saw,
they cannot be cut bythe blade.
Keep your body posltlonnd to either side of the saw
blade, but not In line with the saw blade. KICKBACK
could cause the saw to jump backwards.See Pages 13
and 14.
Do not reach underneath the work. The guardcannot
protect youfromthe blade below the work.
Check 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. Ffsaw is
accidentallydropped,lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guardwith the retractinghandle and make
sureit move_;freely and does nottouchthe blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Cheek the operetlon and condiUon of the lower
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. Lower guard may operate sluggishlydue to
damaged parts, gummy deposits,or a buildupof debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and =Com-
pound Cuts". Raise lower guard by Retracting
Handle. As soon as blade enters the meterlal, lower
guard muet be released. For all other sawing,the
lowerguard should operate automatically,
Always observe that the lower guard Is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected,coastingblade will cause the saw to
walk backwards,cuttingwhatever is in itspath. Be
aware ofthe time it takes forthe blade to stop after
switchis released.
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. It is importantto supportthe work
properlyto minimizebody exposure, blade binding,or
lossof control.
Hold tool by Insulating gdpplng sndaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"and
shockthe operator.
When ripping always use a dp fence for a etralght
edge guide. This improvesthe accuracyof cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Bladesthat do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically,causing loss of central.
Never use damaged or Incorrect blade washers or
bolts. The blade washers and boltwere specially
designedfor your saw, for optimumperformanceand
safetyof operation.
Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
Kickbackis a suddenreactionto a pinched,bound,or
misaligned saw blade,causing an uncontrolledsaw to
liftup and out of the workpiecetowardthe operator.
When the blade is pinchedor bound tightlyby the ked
closingdown,the blade stallsand the motor reaction
drivesthe unitrapidlyback towardthe operator.
Ifthe blade becomestwistedor misalignedinthe cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surfaceof the wood causing the blade to climbout
of the kerfand jump back toward the operator.
Kickbackis a result of tool misuseand/or incorrect
operating proceduresor conditionsand can be avoided
by taking proper precautionsas givenbelow:
Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your
body and arm In away that allows you to resist
KICKBACK forces. KICKBACKforcescan be con-
trolledbyth_ operator, if properprecautions are taken.
When blade Is binding, or when Interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless In the metedal until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade Is In motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investi-
gate and take correctiveactions to eliminate the cause
of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in theworkplace, center the
saw blade In the kerf end check that teeth are not
engaged Into the material. If saw blade is binding,it
maywalk upor KICKBACKfromthe workpieceasthe
saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panelstend to sag
undertheir ownweight.Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, nearthe line of cut and near
the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or
improperlyset blades produce narrowkerf causing
excessivefriction,blade binding,and KICKBACK.
Blade depth and bevel adJuetlng locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut, If blade
adjustment shiftswhile cutting, itwill cause binding and
KICKBACK.
Use utra caution when making e =PocketCUt'* into
e_lstlng walls or ether blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objectsthat can cause KICKBACK.

KICKBACK
See Figure 8.
KICKBACI_mmmm i
BLARE SET TOO DEEP Fig.B
The best guard against kickback Is to avoid dangerous
practices.
Kickback occurswhen the blade stallsrepidlyend the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is causedby any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER: Release switch immediatelyif blade
bindsor sew stalls. Kickbackcouldcause youto lose
control of your saw. Lossof control can lead to
serbus iniur/.
KICKBACK IS CAUSED BY:
Incorrectblade depth setting,See Figure 8.
Sawing into knotsor nails inworkpiece,
Twistingblade while making a cut.
Making a cutwith a dull, gummed up, or improperlyset
blade.
Incorrectlysupportingworkpiece. See Figure 9.
TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK:
Always keep the correctblade depth setting- the
correct blade depth settingfor artouts shouldnot
exceed 1/4 in. belowthe materialto be cut.
Sea Figure 10. One blade toothbelow the materialto
be cut w_)rksbest for most efficient cuttingaction.

Ah_aysuse clean, sharp and properlyset blades.
Never make cutswith du_lblades.
To avoid pinching the blade, supportthe workpieco
properly before beginning aout. The right and wrong
ways to supportlarge pieces of work are shown in
figures 9 and 11.
Forcing a cut.
Cutting warped orwet lumber.
Tool misuse or incorrect operating procedures.

When making a cut use steady, even pressure,
Never force cuts.
Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep
your body in a balanced position so as to resist the
forces of Idckback should it occur.
When using your saw, always stay alert and exercise
control. Do not remove your sew from workplece
while the blade Is moving.
DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correctblade depth setting.The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 inch
belowthe material to be cut. More blade depth will
increase the chance of kickbackand cause the cut to be
rough.One blade tooth below the materialto be cut works
best for most efficientcuttingaction.

TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL:
Always supportyour workpiece near the cut,
Support your workpieceso the cut will be on your left.
Clamp your workpiece so it will not move during the cut.
Place your workpiece with its good side down.
Note: The good side is the side onwhich appearance is
important,
Before beginning acut, draw a guidelinealong the desired
line of cut. Then place front edge of base on that part of
your workpiece that is solidly supported, See Figure 13.
Never place your saw on that part of the workplece
that will fall off when the out is made. See FkJure15.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands.
See Figure 16.

then guide your saw intothe workplace.
WARNING: The blade coming incontactwith
the workplacebefore it reachesfull speed could
cause your caw to "kickback" towards you resuhing
insedous injury,
When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Forcing
causes roughcuts, couldshortenthe life of your caw and
couldcause "kickback."
REMEMBER:
When sawing through work, the lower blade guard
does not cover the blade, ea(poslng it on the
underside of work. Keep your hands and fingers away
from cuttlug area. Any part of your body comlug In

A width of cutscale has been provided on the base of
your saw. When making straightcrosscuts or ripcuts,the
scale can be used to measure up to four inchesto the
rightsideof the blade. It can be used to measure up to
one inchto the left side of the blade.
RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE)
Use the rip guide providedwith your saw when making
wide rip cuts.A five inch scale has been providedonthe
rip guide. When usingthe width of cut scale on the base
incombinationwith the dp guide, cuts can be made up to
6 in. to the leftof the rip guideor 8-7/8 in. to the right of
the ripguide.
The rip guide helps prevent the blade from twistingin a
out.The blade twisting in a cut can cause kickback.
