[] Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents. [] 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. [] Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. [] Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. [] Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents. [] Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. TOOL USE AND CARE [] 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. [] 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. [] Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. [] Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. [] Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. [] When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire. [] 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. [] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. [] Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool. [] Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic. SERVICE [] Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury, [] When servicing a tool, use only identical replace- ment 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 shock or injury. [] DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. [] Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. [] Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. (see KICKBACK) [] Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. [] Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the 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, if saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. [] Check the operation and condition 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 sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. [] Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and "Compound Cuts". Raise lower guard by Retracting Handle. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. [] Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. [] NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. [] Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces 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 shock the operator. [] When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerr closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. If the blade becomes twisted or misallgned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerr and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: [] Maintain a firm grip on the saw 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 precautions are taken. [] When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material 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. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. [] When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. [] Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade 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. [] Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK. [] Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock. [] Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. [] Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. [] Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. [] For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles. [] Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Laser Guide Warnings: [] Battery 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 battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury. [] Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury. [] Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately. [] Batteries can explode in the presence of a source 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. [] Under extreme usage or temperature condi= tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize 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 rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. The laser guide radiation used in the Craftsman trim saw is Class Ilia with maximum <5 mW and 650nm wavelengths or Class II, <1 mW max, 650nm. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness. [] Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide. [] The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. [] Never aim the beam at a person or object other than the workpiece. [] Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflective sheet metal or similar shiny materials are not suitable for laser use. [] All repairs should be made by an authorized representative or the laser manufacturer. service Someofthe followingsymbolsmaybeusedonthisproduct.Pleasestudythemandlearntheirmeaning.Properinterpretationofthesesymbolswillallowyouto operatethe productbetterandsafer.

BLADE GUARD See Figure 11. STARTING/STOPPING To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece. WARNING: SYSTEM To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger. After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. SWITCH TRIGGER DANGER: When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with moving blade will result in serious injury. CAUTION: Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly. Check the guard for correct operation before each use. The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to the closed position. If you drop the saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth settings before reuse. LOWERBLADEGUARD IS IN UP POSiTiON WHEN MAKINGA CUT BLADEEXPOSEDON UNDERSIDEOFWORKPIECE The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in serious injury. The lower blade guard attached to the trim saw is there for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in operating position when using the saw. _IL THE SAW See Figure 12. Fig. 11 14 A WARNING: Always remove battery pack from the tool when changing operation settings or when the tool is not in use. Failure to remove the battery pack may result in accidental starting and serious personal injury. ADJUSTING BLADE TO RAISE SAW DEPTH See Figure 13. Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough.

[] Remove battery pack from saw. 15 OPERATINGTHE SAW See Figures 15- 17. It is important to understand the correct method for operating the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw. A A DANGER: When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed before setting the saw down. WARNING: To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of the saw. Loss of control could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury. To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints. [] Hold the saw firmly with both hands. CORRECT [] Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut. Fig. 16 [] Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to your side. [] Support the workpiece near the cut. [] Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will not move during the cut. [] Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported, not the "cut off" piece. [] Place the workpiece with the "good" side down. [] Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before beginning the cut. // / I\ WRONG WRONG Fig. 15 16 Fig. 17 CROSSCUTTING/RIPCUTTING WORKPIECE See Figure 18. NOTE: Refer to "Using the Laser Guide" on page 19 for the following aplications When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in the figure. Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut. NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is the amount you should offset the guide.
