SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets wifl reduce risk of electric shock:
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock:
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock:
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock:
3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask; nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation, if damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack:
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact, if
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or bums.
6) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the 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. b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control e) Hold power 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 power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
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 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 saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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, ff saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) 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 e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback:
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking knobs must be tight and secure before making cut. ff blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback:
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the 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, Iowerguard
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.
b) Check the operation 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.
c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle and
as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards (see Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback and KICKBACK).
Avoid cutting nails, inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
Always make sure nothing interferes with the movement of the lower blade guard,
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label, Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
Always make sure the saw is clean before using.
Stop using this saw and have it properly serviced if any unusual noise or abnormal
operation occurs.
Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely before using tool.
Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or removing it or when
removing the diamond knockout.
Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting a cut.
Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold the tool firmly with
both hands when in use.
Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your hands relative to the blade.
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/ or heavy. Serious personal injury may result.
Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

AL WAYS wear certified safety equipment:
oANSI Z87. 1 eye protection (CAN/CSA 794.3). oANSI $12.6 ($3. 19) hearing protection. oNIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
z_WARNING: Some dust created by power sandng, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known in 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 (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a weft ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Aflowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
_WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible.

Keep a firm grip on saw with both hands at all times.
Stay alert - exercise control.
Support long overhanging materials. As the material is cut and weakens, it will sag, causing a pinched blade.
Support large panels as shown (Fig. F). Material supported only at the ends (Fig. E) wilt lead to blade pinching.
Avoid sawing overhead. Material can sag and will pinch blade.
Insure that the material to be cut is clamped (figure H) and solidly supported and balanced on a strong, stable and level work surface. Support the work so that the wide portion of the saw shoe is on the portion of the material that doesn't fall after the cut is
made. Never hold cut off piece by hand (figure G )
Keep blades sharp and clean.
Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Be careful as the cut off strip can sag or twist, closing the cut and pinching the blade, leading to KICKBACK.
Don't force tool. Wood variables such as knots, hardness, toughness, wetness, pressure treated and freshly cut green lumber can heavily load the saw which can lead to stalling. Push the saw slower when this occurs.
Don't remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.
Allow saw to reach full speed before blade contacts material to be cut. Starting the saw with the blade against the work or pushed forward into cut can lead to stalling or
sudden backward movement of saw.
Never attempt to lift saw when making a bevel cut. This leads to blade binding and stalling.
Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement during cut.
Do not try to force saw back on line if your cut begins to go off line. This can cause
KICKBACK.Stopsawandallowbladetocoastdowntoastop.Withdrawfromcutand

washer (19) as shown in figure L.
Depress the spindle lock (13) while turning the blade bolt (20) with the blade wrench (9) until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
NOTE: Blade wrench is stored on the saw as shown
in figure M.
Tighten the blade bolt securely with the blade wrench.
NOTE: Bolt has a left-handed thread. To loosen, turn
clockwise. To tighten, turn counterclockwise.
NOTE: Never engage the blade lock while the saw is running, or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never
turn the tool on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result.
LOWER BLADE GUARD
2_WARNING: Laceration Hazard. The lower
blade guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never use the saw if
the lower guard is missing, damaged, mis- assembled or not working properly. Do not rely on
the lower blade guard to protect you under all circumstances. Your safety depends on following all warnings and precautions as well as proper
operation of the saw. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use as outlined in Additional

Safety Rules for Circular Saws. if the lower blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and
reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified service organization, always using identical replacement parts.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a
hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
z_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury_ it is important to support the work
properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Figure H illustrates typical hand support.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
z_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read, understand and
follow all important safety warnings and instructions prior to using tool. BLADE SELECTION
Your circular saw is designed for use with 5=1/2 inch (140 ram) diameter blades that have a 3/8 inch (10 ram) diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher). DO NOT use any abrasive wheels.
GENERAL CUTS
z_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury_ remove the battery, and follow all
assembly, adjustment and set up instructions. Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for the material to be cut.
Measure and mark work for cutting.
Support and secure work properly (See Safety Rules and Instructions).
Use appropriate and required safety equipment (See Safety Rules).
Secure and maintain work area (See Safety Rules).
With battery inserted, make sure switch turns saw on and off. SWITCH
Saw is equipped with a switch lock-off feature to prevent unintentional operation.
To operate the toot, press in on the lock-off button (2) from either side of the saw and hold it in as you depress the trigger switch (1).
After you have depressed the trigger and the tool is running, release the lock-off button. The tool wilt continue to run as long as the trigger is depressed.
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. NOTE: This tool has no provision for locking the tool on, and the switch should never
be locked on by any other means.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC BRAKE Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which stops the saw blade within 1-2
seconds of trigger release. This is automatic and requires no adjustment. SAWING
± WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,always hold the tool with both hands.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where splintering is acceptable.
Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of
plywood onto the top of the workpiece.
POCKET CUTTING (FIG. N)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up
off the work surface which could cause injury. A pocket cut is onethat is made when the edge of the material does not push the lower guard open, but the bottom edge of the rotating blade cuts into the middle of the material.
Adjust the shoe (5)sothe bladecuts atdesired depth.
Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material to be cut.
