EN60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It
may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level
represents the main applications of the tool. However if



the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total workingperiod.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should
also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.
This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the
total workingperiod.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation
of workpatterns.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and



instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (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 will 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 residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD 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,
non-skid 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 energising 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

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.

6

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 burns
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burns.

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.

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
Cutting Procedures

a ) 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 while cutting. 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 the 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 could give the operator an electricshock.

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
off-centre, 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.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
Kickback Causes and Related Warnings

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed 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 jammed 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, centre

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade binds, it

may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
isrestarted.

d ) Support large panels to minimise 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 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 sawing into existing walls or

other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can causekickback.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH A
PENDULUM BLADE GUARD
Lower Guard Function

a ) 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.

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 build-up ofdebris.

c ) The lower guard should be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts”. Raise the 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 the 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.

Additional Safety Instructions for Circular
Saws

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearingloss.

• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possibleinjury.

• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than

recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
Technical Data. Use only the blades specified in this manual,

complying with EN 847-1.

• Never use abrasive cut-offwheels.

• Do not use water feedattachments.

• 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.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:

• Impairment ofhearing.

• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.

• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.

• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.

Your
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
serviceorganisation.

Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)

If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

• Safely dispose of the oldplug.

• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.

• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.

ENGLISH

DeWALT

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the
pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
packlife.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed
to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically
when the battery pack needs to be cooled. Never operate the
charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots
are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior
of thecharger.

Electronic Protection System

XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deepdischarge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit
upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the
charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a
corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use
the back of the charger as a template for the location of the
mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using
drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4mm long
with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease



may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a
cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any
cleaning solutions. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

in summer).

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium-ion battery packs areburned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek
medicalattention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.



include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria.

In most instances, shipping a

battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr.

Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentationrequirements.

The information provided in this section of the manual is

Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery

The

FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use

andTransport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT

18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When

a

TM

battery stands alone or is in

the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery.

Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.

When in Transport mode, strings
of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hour batteries.

For example, the Transport

Example of Use and Transport Label Marking

Wh rating might indicate
3x36 Wh, meaning 3
batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might
indicate 108Wh (1battery implied).

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not inuse.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for
optimalresults.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged
beforeuse.

Lower Blade Guard

WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety feature
that reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never



use the saw if the lower guard is missing, damaged,
misassembled 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 the lower blade guard
for proper closing before each use. 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.

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. 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 more likely to occur when any of the following
conditionsexists.

1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT

a. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off piece can cause

pinching of the blade and lead tokickback.

b. Cutting through material supported at the outer ends

only can cause kickback. As the material weakens it sags,
closing down the kerf and pinching the blade (Fig.L).

c. Cutting off a cantilevered or overhanging piece of

material from the bottom up in a vertical direction
can cause kickback. The falling cut off piece can pinch
theblade.

d. Cutting off long narrow strips (as in ripping) can cause

kickback. The cut off strip can sag or twist closing the kerf
and pinching theblade.

e. Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the

material being cut momentarily reduces operator control.
The saw can lift partially out of the cut increasing the
chance of bladetwist.

2. IMPROPER DEPTH OF CUT SETTING ON SAW

a. To make the most efficient cut, the blade should

protrude only far enough to expose one-half of a
tooth as shown in FigureF. This allows the base plate
to support the blade and minimizes twisting and
pinching in the material. See the section titled Cutting
DepthAdjustment.

3. BLADE TWISTING (MISALIGNMENT IN CUT)

a. Pushing harder to cut through a knot, a nail or a hard

grain area can cause the blade totwist.

b. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to get back on

the marked line) can cause bladetwist.

c. Overreaching or operating the saw with poor body

control (out of balance), can result in twisting theblade.

d. Changing hand grip or body position while cutting can

result in bladetwist.

e. Backing up the saw to clear blade can lead totwist.

4. MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION

a. Wet timber

b. Green timber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried)

c. Pressure treated timber (material treated with

preservatives or anti-rot chemicals)

5. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES

a. Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To

compensate, an operator will usually push harder which
further loads the unit and promotes twisting of the blade
in the kerf. Worn blades may also have insufficient body
clearance which increases the chance of binding and
increasedloading.

6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING A BEVEL CUT

a. Bevel cuts require special operator attention to proper

cutting techniques – especially guidance of the saw. Both
blade angle to the base plate and greater blade surface
in the material increase the chance for binding and
misalignment (twist) tooccur.

7. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH JAMMED

AGAINST THE MATERIAL

a. The saw should be brought up to full operating speed

before starting a cut or restarting a cut after the unit has
been stopped with the blade in the kerf. Failure to do so
can cause stalling andkickback.

Any other conditions which could result in pinching, binding,
twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause kickback.
Refer to the sections Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Circular Saws and Blades for procedures and techniques that
will minimize the occurrence ofkickback.

Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. E–F)

1. Raise the depth adjustment lever

2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the appropriate
mark on the depth adjustment strap
the upper bladeguard.

3. Tighten the depth adjustmentlever.

4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped
saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half
of a tooth projects below the surface of the wood to becut.

5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is
shown in FigureF. Lay a piece of the material you plan to
cut along the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and
observe how much tooth projects beyond thematerial.

Adjusting Depth Adjustment Lever (Fig. E)

It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever

DeWALT

Figures J and K show proper sawing position. Figures L and M
show an unsafe condition. Hands should be kept away from
cutting area, and power cord is positioned clear of the cutting
area so that it will not get caught or hung up on thework.

To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the
cut, (Fig. J and K). DON’T support board or panel away from the
cut (Fig.L and M). When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and prevent it from becoming hung up on
the workpiece.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUST­MENTS! Place the work with its “good” side—the one on which
appearance is most important—down. The saw cuts upward,
so any splintering will be on the work face that is up when you
sawit.

Cutting (Fig. J)

WARNING: Never attempt to use this tool by resting it
upside down on a work surface and bringing the material



to the tool. Always securely clamp the workpiece and
bring the tool to the workpiece, securely holding the tool
with two hands as shown in FigureJ.

Place the wider portion of the saw base plate on that part of
the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section
that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, FigureJ
illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board. Always
clamp work. Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand! Remember
to support cantilevered and overhanging material. Use caution
when sawing material frombelow.

Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts material
to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material to be cut
or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback. Push the
saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to cut without
laboring. Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same
piece of material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy
load on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly,
but hard enough to keep working without much decrease
in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,
kickback, and over-heating of the motor. Should your cut begin
to go off the line, don’t try to force it back on. Release the switch
and allow blade to come to a complete stop. Then you can
withdraw the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside
the wrong one. In any event, withdraw the saw if you must shift
the cut. Forcing a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and
lead tokickback.

IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND BACK THE SAW
UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND
CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE BEFORERESTARTING.

As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw,
the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically close
under the blade. Remember the blade is exposed until this
occurs. Never reach under the work for any reason. When you
have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is necessary
for starting pocket cuts) always use the retractinglever.

NOTE: When cutting thin strips, be careful to ensure that small
cutoff pieces don’t hang up on inside of lowerguard.

Pocket Cutting (Fig. O)

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 one that is made in a floor, wall or other
flatsurface.

1. Adjust the saw base plate so the blade cuts at desireddepth.

2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the base plate on
material to becut.

3. Using the lower guard lever, retract lower blade guard to an
upward position. Lower rear of base plate until blade teeth
almost touch cuttingline.

4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will keep
it in position to open freely as you start the cut). Remove
hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary handle
as shown in FigureO. Position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback if itoccurs.

5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface before
startingsaw.

6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its base
plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut iscompleted.

7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from thematerial.

8. When starting each new cut, repeat asabove.

Lubrication

Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in the tool and
relubrication is not required. However, it is recommended that,
once a year, you take or send the tool to a service center for a
thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gearcase.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around



the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These



chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into aliquid.

Lower Guard

The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will
need cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not
correct the problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized
servicecenter.

Base Plate Adjustment (Fig. G, H)

Your base plate has been factory set to assure that the blade is
perpendicular to the base plate. If after extended use you need
to re-align the blade, follow the directions below:

Adjusting for 90 Degree Cuts

1. Return the saw to 0degreesbevel.

2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lowerguard.

3. Set the depth of cut to 51mm.

4. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (
square against the blade and the base plate as shown in
FigureH.

5. Using a wrench, turn the set screw (
underside of the base plate until the blade and the base
plate are both in flush contact with the square. Retighten
the bevel adjustmentlever.

and loosen the bevel

Blades

A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the
saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility
of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to push
the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a good practice to
keep extra blades on hand so that sharp blades are available for
immediate use. Dull blades can be sharpened in mostareas.

Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene,
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades can be
used in applications where excessive build-up is encountered,
such as pressure treated and greentimber.
