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 unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction

center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold tool by its gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
WARNING: 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 (CCA).
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.
WARNING: 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

CAUTION: When cutting into walls, floors or wherever live
electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL
PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by insulated grasping
surfaces to prevent electric shock if you cut in the live wire.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER. Never
wedge or tie lower guard open. Check operation of lower guard
before each use. Do not use if lower guard does not close briskly
over saw blade. CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may
be bent, restricting full return.
• KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away
from blades. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating.
