GENERAL SAFETY RULES
15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove starter keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your
ability to properly use the tool.
20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have
impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR TRACK SAWS
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to product safety rules. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
1. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. DANGER! Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle
or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw handles, 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. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade protruding from
the underside of the workpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut material when the blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turning the saw off. Wait until the blade stops before reaching for loose material.
3. Always make sure the saw blades are sharp, undamaged and tightly attached before each use. Only use blades that
meet all the specifications of this particular model of saw. Do not use blades with incorrect diameters or mismatched
arbor holes. They will not rotate correctly and may damage the saw or injure the user.
4. Make sure the riving knife is thicker than the saw blade and thinner than the blade teeth. The riving knife must
be present in the kerf and properly adjusted with the blade in order to maximize effectiveness.
5. Make sure that all guards are in proper place and working condition before each cut. Do not operate if broken.
6. Always observe that the blade has properly retracted before placing the saw down on a bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR TRACK SAWS
7. Never hold a workpiece in your hands or across your legs during sawing operations. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
8. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the 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 not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing a loss of control.
10. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the work piece 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 towards the operator. Kickback is the result of tool misuse
or incorrect operating procedures of 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 controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When a 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 causes of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the blade in the kerf and check that the teeth are not engaged
into the material. If the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the work piece 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 the 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 a cut. If the 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 protruding blade
may cut the objects that can cause kickback.
11. Always set the cutting depth so the blade doesn’t protrude more than 1/8 of an inch past the bottom of the
workpiece.
12. Only make straight cuts. Never make freehand cuts. Allow the blade to reach full speed before starting a cut.
13. If a cut is interrupted, let the blade come to a complete stop before taking it out of the workpiece. Before continuing the cut, place the blade in the kerf to make sure its teeth do not touch the workpiece.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR TRACK SAWS
14. Make sure the blade you are using is the correct type for the material being cut. Do not cut logs or shrubbery
with this saw. Only cut flat workpieces.
15. Always make sure that the cutting path, including underneath the workpiece, is free of obstructions before cutting, particularly during plunge cuts.
16. Always adequately support the workpiece.
17. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolts were specially designed for
your saw with optimum performance and safety of operation in mind.
18. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only while holding it in your hands.
19. When operating the tool from an elevated position, be aware of people or things beneath you.
20. Always hold the tool firmly in your hands before switching the tool “ON.” The reaction to the torque of the
motor as it accelerates to full speed may cause the tool to twist.
21. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance unless otherwise specified. They are not safety glasses. Only use certified safety equipment.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards. Protective hearing equipment should comply
with ANSI s3.19 standards.
22. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
23. These instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool, so always make sure to use
common sense during operation.
WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this
equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
