SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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 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.

 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.

 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 cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

 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.

 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 make sure it moves freely and

does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles

and depths of cut.

 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

buildup of debris.

 Lower guard should be retracted manually only for

special cuts, such as “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.

 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.

 Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as

well as the specific potential hazards related to this

power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

 Always wear eye protection marked with side shields

to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result

in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible

serious injury.

 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

 Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when

not using your battery tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions

that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that

is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced

by an authorized service center. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or any medication. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal

injury.

 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.

 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product

in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water

immediately.

 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

 For best results, your battery tool should be charged

in a location where the temperature is more than

50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in

vehicles.

 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-

tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with

your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then

neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets

into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least

10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal

injury.

 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and

use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you

loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also

to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
