Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to 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
● arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
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, always wear MSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.

serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
2. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery
pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
3. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
3
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
7. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with
MSHA/NIOSH certified respirator standards.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Disconnect battery pack from tool and 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 start-
ing the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
8. 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.
9. 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.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unautho-
rized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. 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.
2. 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 back-
wards. (See "Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK.")
3. Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from
the blade below the work.
4. 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, 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 workpiece, lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
7. 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.
8. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your Ieg. It is
important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
9. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring. Contact with
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
10. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
z 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.

There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. Delta strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used
for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions
relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written Delta and we
have advised you.
z 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.
z Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating proce-
dures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
14. 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.
15. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the workpiece 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.
16. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the
kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the workpiece. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
17. 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.
18. Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it
does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the trigger
switch to the locked “OFF” position when installing or removing the battery
pack or saw blade.
22. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care
to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.
Request, and follow, all safety information available from your material supplier.
