CAUSES
•

AND OPERATOR

PREVENTION

Kickback is a sudden reaction
blade, causing an uncontrolled
toward the operator.

of

OF KICKBACK:

to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece

When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned 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 kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the
result of misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions, as given below:
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms
to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
•

61325

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.

Manual_Revised_lO

0225

Page 8

When restarting
a saw in the workpiece center the saw blade in the kerf
and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material,
if the saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the work piece 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 blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce a narrow kerr, causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

=

Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and secure
before making a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.

=

Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

•

Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
If
the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower blade guard with the retracting handle. 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
of the lower guard spring, if the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The
lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits
or a build-up of debris.

=

Lower guard should be retracted
manually only for special cuts such
as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts." Raise the lower blade guard
with the retracting
handle. As soon as the blade enters the material, the
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
the saw down on a bench or the 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 the switch is released.

=

When making a plunge cut with the bevel setting other than 90 °, ensure
that the guide plate of the saw will not shift. While performing the
"plunge cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at 90 °. Blade A blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.

=

Use the appropriate
riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving
knife to work, it must be thicker than the body of the blade, but thinner than
the tooth set of the blade.

61325

Manual_Revised_lO

0225

Page 9

=

Adjust the riving knife as described
in this instruction manual. Incorrect
spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
preventing kickback.

=

Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. The riving knife
must be replaced after plunge cutting. The riving knife causes interference
during plunge cutting and can create kickback.

=

For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece.
riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback during short cuts.

=

Do not operate the saw if riving the knife is bent.
interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.

•

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 also make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.

BATTERY

PROTECTION

The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, overdischarge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong its
life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes overloaded
or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen in extremely
high-torque, binding, and stalling situations. This intelligent system will shut down
your battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds 176°F (80°C) and will begin
normal operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) - 104°F (40°C).

NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack
indicates that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance
in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may
"pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool
and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the battery pack will
have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE

THE BATTERY

PACK

It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. The
Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a "memory"
when charged after only a partial discharge.
Remove the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job.
"Top off" the battery pack charge by charging it for a time before starting a big
job or a long period of use.
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge
the Lithium-Ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge.
To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly, or the FuelGauge
feature on tools so equipped will indicate diminishing and depleted battery
power. Charge the battery pack as needed.

WARNING:

A blade diameter

of 3-3/8 in. is the maximum

blade capacity

of

your saw. A blade diameter greater than 3-3/8 in. will come in contact with the
blade guards. Never use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer blade
washer from engaging with the flat side of the spindle. Blades that are too large
or too thick can result in an accident causing serious injury.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

(Fig. 5}

The lower blade guard attached
to your circular saw is there for
your protection and safety. It
should never be altered for any
reason. If it becomes damaged
or begins to return slowly or
sluggishly, do not operate your
saw until the blade guard has
been repaired or replaced.
Always leave the guard in its
correct operating position when
using the saw.
_t_ DANGER:

through a workpiece, the lower
blade guard does not cover
the blade on the underside of the workpiece. Since the blade is exposed on the
underside of the workpiece, keep hands and fingers away from the cutting area. Any
part of your body coming in contact with a moving blade will result in serious injury.
CAUTION:

Never use the saw when the guard is not operating

properly.

The guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you drop
your saw, check that the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth
