Additional Safety Instructions for Circular Saws
to a table and converted to a table saw.
Circular saws are not designed or intended
to be used as table saws.
The blade washers and the bolt on your
saw have been designed to work as a
clutch to reduce the intensity of a
kickback. Understand the operation and
settings of the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH. The
proper setting of the clutch, combined with
firm handling of the saw will allow you to
control kickback.
Never place your hand behind the saw
blade. Kickback could cause the saw to
jump backwards over your hand.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a
hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia,
etc. may damage plastic parts.

Additional Safety Warnings

-6-
Do not use the saw with an excessive
depth of cut setting. Too much blade
exposure increases the likelihood of the
blade twisting in the kerf and increases the
surface area of the blade available for
pinching that leads to kickback.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. Lower guard may be opened by
a contact with your clothing. Accidental
contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
Periodically remove the blade, clean the
upper, lower guards and the hub area with
kerosene and wipe it dry. Preventive
maintenance and properly operating guard
will reduce the probability of an accident.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Avoid overheating saw blade tips.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known 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.
