SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious personal injury.
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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
■ Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adaptor plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
■ 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.
■ Do not 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
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.
■ 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.
■ If operating a power tool in a damp location
3 ― English
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
■ 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 nger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
■ 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
■ 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.
■ If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Use only with compatible Craftsman 20V
Max powered by DieHard slide-type lithiumion battery packs.
■ Do not use the power tool if the switch
Page 4
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
■ 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.
■ Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the saw blade may come
into contact with hidden wiring. If the blade
contacts a "live" wire, it may activate the
exposed metal parts of the power tool and
could give the operator an electric shock.
■ Know your power tool. Read the Operator's
Manual carefully. Learn its applications
and limitations, as well as the specic
potential hazards related to this power tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, re, or serious injury.
■ Always wear eye protection with side
shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1
when assembling parts, operating the tool,
or performing maintenance. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
■ 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, re, or
serious personal injury.
■ Do not use on an unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
■ 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.
CIRCULAR SAW USE AND CARE
CUTTING PROCEDURES
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.
■ Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
■ 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.
■ Never hold the piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure
4 ― English
Page 5
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the workpiece properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.
■ When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
■ 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.
■ 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 CAUSES AND RELATED
WARNING
■ 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:
■ Maintain a rm 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.
■ 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 saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If the 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 blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
■ 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.
■ Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
■ 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 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 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
5 ― English
Page 6
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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.
■ Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or oor. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Use clamps or other practical ways to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
■ Do not place battery tools or their batteries
near re or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly injury.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage a 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 ame. An exploded
battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, ush with water immediately.
■ Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
■ For best results, your battery tool should
be charged in a location where the
temperature is between 40°F (4°C) and
100°F (38°C). To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not store outside or in
vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature
conditions, battery leakage may occur. If
liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash
immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, ush 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.

KICKBACK
See Figures 5 - 8, pages ii - iii
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly
and the saw is driven back towards you.
Blade stalling is caused by any action which
pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
if blade binds or saw stalls. Kickback could
cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss of
control can lead to serious injury.
Release switch immediately
To guard against kickback, avoid
dangerous practices such as the
following:
■ Setting blade depth incorrectly.
■ Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.
■ Twisting the blade while making a cut.
■ Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or
improperly set blade.
■ Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
■ Forcing a cut.
■ Cutting warped or wet lumber.
■ Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing
the tool.
To lessen the chance of kickback,
follow these safety practices:
■ Keep blade at the correct depth setting.
The depth setting should not exceed 1/4 in.
below the material being cut.
■ Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails
before cutting. Never saw into a knot or
nail.
■ Make straight cuts. Always use the rip
fence when rip cutting. This helps prevent
twisting the blade.
■ Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades.
Never make cuts with dull blades.
■ Support the workpiece properly before
beginning a cut.
■ Use steady, even pressure when making a
cut. Never force a cut.
■ Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
■ Hold the saw rmly with both hands and
keep your body in a balanced position so
as to resist the forces if kickback should
occur.

■ Depress the safety switch.
■ Squeeze the trigger switch.
Always let the blade reach full speed, and
then guide the saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
contact with the workpiece before it reaches
full speed could cause the saw to “kickback”
toward you resulting in serious injury.
To stop the saw:
After you release the trigger switch, allow the
blade to come to a complete stop. Do not
remove the saw from the workpiece while the
blade is moving.
The blade coming in
Release the trigger switch.
SAFETY SWITCH
See Figure 10, page iii
The safety switch reduces the possibility
of accidental starting. The safety switch
is located on the handle above the trigger
switch. The safety switch must be depressed
before you pull the trigger switch. The lock
resets each time the trigger is released.
You can depress the safety switch
NOTE:
from either the left or right side.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 11, page iii
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. For more depth of cut accuracy,
a guide is located on the back of the upper
blade guard.
■ Remove the battery pack from the saw.

DANGER:
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:
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 rmly with both hands.
■ Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece
while making a cut.
■ 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 your cut.
When lifting the saw from
To make sawing easier and
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 15, page iv
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the
line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on
the base.
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.
The distance from the line of cut to
NOTE:
the guideline is the amount you should offset
the guide.
RIP CUTTING
See Figure 16, page iv
Use a guide when making long or wide rip
cuts with the saw.
■ Secure the workpiece.
■ Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece
using C-clamps.
■ Saw along the straight edge to achieve a
straight rip cut.
Do not bind the blade in the cut.
NOTE:
WIDTH OF CUT GUIDE
See Figure 17, page iv
A width of cut guide has been provided on
the base of your saw. When making straight
cross cuts or rip cuts, the guide can be used
to measure up to four inches to the right side
of the blade. It can be used to measure up to
one inch to the left side of the blade.
ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE
See Figure 18, page iv.
The supplied rip fence can be used for rip
cutting or bevel cutting.
■ Loosen the rip fence locking knob.
■ Slide the rip fence into the slot and set it
to the desired length. Tighten the locking
knob.
For sawing with the blade totally
NOTE:
