General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and 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 mains-operated (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 ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 energizing 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

90539190 REV MAY 2009.qxd 5/27/09 9:22 AM Page 2

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

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.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

a. 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.

90539190 REV MAY 2009.qxd 5/27/09 9:22 AM Page 3

d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. 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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

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

arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, 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.

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 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, center the saw blade in the kerf and

check that 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. 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 making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other

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

LOWER GUARD SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

a. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the

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.

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. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as

90539190 REV MAY 2009.qxd 5/27/09 9:22 AM Page 4

"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.

d. 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - LASERS

Laser radiation, avoid direct eye exposure, serious eye injury can result.

• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam.

• Position the laser so unintentional eye contact will be avoided.

• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser / power tool.

• Do not disassemble. Modifying the product in any way can increase the risk of laser radiation.

those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• Do not adjust the laser, when the battery is inserted in the circular saw.

• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

• Store idle product out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers / power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser / power tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another laser / power tool.

• Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified repair facility. Repairs performed by unqualified personnel could result in serious injury.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure to radiation.

• For indoor use only.

• This product is intended for use in a temperature range of 41°F(5°C) - 104°F(40°C).

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, and

• 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, 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.

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse 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.

Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to

ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from

this product may contribute to hearing loss.

ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
