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.
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.
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.

Cutting procedures
Keep hands away from
D NGER
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
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.
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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, 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 tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
Safety Rules for Circular Saws
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
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.
Service
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.
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
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.
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.
Inspect the condition and quality of the
wood and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting. Wet lumber, green lumber or
pressure treated lumber require special
attention during cutting operation to prevent
kickback.
Hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control. Figures in this manual illustrate
typical hand support of the saw.
Depending upon use, the switch may not
last the life of the saw. If the switch should
fail in the "OFF" position, the saw may not
start. If it should fail while the saw is
running, the saw may not shut off. If either
occurs, unplug the saw immediately and do
not use until repaired.
