WARNING: Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas

invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool

outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These

cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have 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 enables 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.

Tool Use and Care

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

642742-00 01 FS1300 FS1500CSL 11/29/07 2:18 PM Page 2

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. Any tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative

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.

• 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 tools 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 become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement 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 electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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.

• Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could

case the saw to jump backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback.”)

• Do not reach underneath the work.

The guard can not protect you from the blade below the work.

• Check 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, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, at all angles and depth 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 Lever. 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

642742-00 01 FS1300 FS1500CSL 11/29/07 2:18 PM Page 3

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.

• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This

improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 operator.

• Kickback is the result of tool 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 body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces. 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 the saw 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.

d. Support large panels to minimize

the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to

sag under their own weight. Support 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

blade. Unsharpened or improperly

set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.

f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting

locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade

adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

g. 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.

SE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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,

• 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 well 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.

Allowing 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.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

• Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the material being cut can momentarily reduce operator control. The saw can lift partially out of

the cut increasing the chance of blade twist. Ensure there is sufficient clearance under the workpiece.

• When necessary to raise lower guard manually, use the retracting lever.

• KEEP THE BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling

and kickback. The use of dull and/or dirty blades can increase the saw loading causing the operator to push harder which promotes twisting.

DANGER: LACERATION HAZARD. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades.

Never place hands in front of or behind the path of the blade while cutting. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large

panels must be supported as shown (figure 1) in this manual to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Material supported only at the ends (figure 2) will lead to blade pinching. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES AND

BLADE ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS WHEN MOUNTING BLADES. Do not

use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts. Follow blade assembly procedures.

• ADJUSTMENTS. Before cutting be sure

depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

• SUPPORT AND SECURE THE WORK PROPERLY. Insure that the material to be cut is clamped (figure 3) 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 4 ). KICKBACK from blade pinch can result. Keep both hands on saw at all times.

642742-00 01 FS1300 FS1500CSL 11/29/07 2:18 PM Page 5

• STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Keep body positioned to one

side of blade. Always maintain a firm grip and control of saw with both hands. Do not change hand grip or body position while saw is running. Take precaution to avoid injury from cut off pieces and other falling material during operation.

DANGER: RELEASE SWITCH IMMEDIATELY IF BLADE BINDS OR SAW STALLS

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

• KICKBACK CAN BE CAUSED BY the

saw blade becoming pinched, twisted or bound while cutting, or when the saw stalls. When 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 cut and move suddenly back toward the operator.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK

• 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. 1). Material supported only at the ends (Fig.

2) will lead to blade pinching.

• Avoid sawing overhead. Material can sag and will pinch blade.

• 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. Stop saw and allow blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw from cut and start a new cut on the line.

• Set depth adjustment of saw such that

one tooth of the blade projects below the workpiece as shown in (figure 8).

• Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut. Twisting the saw can cause the back edge of the blade to dig into the material, climb out of the work and run back toward the operator.

• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

RÈGLES GÉNÉRALES DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT : Assurez-vous de lire et de comprendre toutes les directives. Négliger de suivre les

instructions énumérées ci-dessous pourrait être la cause d'un choc électrique, d'un incendie ou d'une blessure corporelle grave.

aVE THESTRUCTIONS

ZONE DE TRAVAIL

• Assurez-vous que votre espace de

travail est propre et bien éclairé. Les

bancs encombrés et les endroits sombres sont souvent des causes d’accidents.

• Ne faites pas fonctionner d’outils

électriques dans une atmosphère inflammable, soit en présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils électriques

produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

• Éloignez les curieux, les enfants et

les visiteurs lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique. Une distraction

pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.

SÉCURITÉ EN ÉLECTRICITÉ

• Les outils à double isolation sont

dotés d’une fiche polarisée (dont une lame de contact est plus large que l’autre). Cette fiche ne se branche que d’une seule façon dans une prise de courant polarisée. Si la fiche ne s’insère pas totalement dans la prise de courant, renversez-la. Si elle ne s’insère toujours pas dans la prise, demandez à un électricien compétent d’installer une fiche polarisée. Ne tentez pas de remplacer la fiche. La double isolation

élimine la nécessité d’utiliser un cordon d’alimentation muni d’une fiche à trois fils avec mise à la terre et un bloc d’alimentation avec mise à la terre.

• Évitez tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre tels des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le

risque d’électrocution est plus élevé

lorsque votre corps est mis à la terre.

• Ne laissez pas vos outils électriques sous la pluie ou dans un environnement humide. Une

infiltration d’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque d’électrocution.

• Faites attention au cordon électrique. Ne l’utilisez pas pour transporter l’outil. Ne tirez jamais sur le cordon pour le débrancher de la prise de courant. Éloignez le cordon électrique de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacez immédiatement tout cordon électrique endommagé. Un cordon

endommagé peut provoquer une électrocution.

• Lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique à l’extérieur, on ne doit utiliser que des rallonges conçues pour cet usage, comme celles de type « W-A » ou « W », afin de réduire les risques

de choc électrique.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

• Soyez vigilant, faites attention à ce que vous faites et faites preuve de jugement lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique. N’utilisez pas un outil lorsque vous êtes fatigué ou lorsque vous avez pris de la drogue, de l’alcool ou des médicaments. Un

moment d’inattention, lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique, peut se solder par des blessures sérieuses.

• Habillez-vous en conséquence. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ni de bijoux qui pourraient s'enchevêtrer quelque part. Attachez les cheveux longs. Gardez les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l'écart des pièces mobiles. Les

vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs pourraient s'enchevêtrer dans les
