GENERAL SAFETY RULES
USA003-2
(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS)
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
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, 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
4. 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.
5. Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batter-
ies may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
6. 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 inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
11. 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
12. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2
13. 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.
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or 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 starting the tool accidentally.
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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 acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
20. 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
21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB067-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to circular saw
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. 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 cause 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. Do
not attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until
blade stops before grasping cut material.
2. 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
Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,
then release and watch guard closure. Also check to
see that Retracting Lever does not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS
and can lead to serious personal injury.
3. 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.
4. 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 saw-
ing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Hold 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 tool
“live” and shock the operator.
8. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance for blade binding.
9. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do
3
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
10. 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.
11. 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.
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 tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
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 con-
trolled 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 teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is bind-
ing, 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 as shown in
Fig. 1.
To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
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.
Fig. 1 To avoid kickback, do support board or panel near
the cut.
Fig. 2 Do not support board or panel away from the cut.
Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.
Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it
from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch
remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline.
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.
Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. For pocket cuts, retract lower guard using
Retracting Lever.
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the
saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump
backwards over your hand, leading to serious personal injury.

Fig. 3
Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can cause
uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and possible
kickback.
Push the saw forward at a speed so that the blade
cuts without slowing.
12. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
13. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth
advancement of tool without decrease in blade
speed.
14. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and
bevel adjustments are tight.
15. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
16. The tool is provided with a front grip and rear
handle for two hand operation. Operate with
proper hand support and proper workpiece support.
WARNING: It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of
the saw.
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made. As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT
way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the
WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small,
clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT
PIECES BY HAND!
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
18. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
Fig. 4 A typical illustration of proper hand support and
workpiece support.
17. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly supported,
Fig. 7
19. WARNING: Blade coasts to stop after switch is
released. Contact with coasting blade can cause
serious injury. Before setting the tool down after
completing a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard has closed and the blade has
come to a complete stop.
20. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force
the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade
and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then
withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut
again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use
eye protection to help avoid injury.
