Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw

and position your arms to resist kickback forces.

Position your body to either side of the blade, but

not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the

saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be con-

trolled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When 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 correc-

tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth

are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade

binds, it may walk up or kickback from the work-

piece as the saw is restarted.

Support large panels to minimise 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 the

cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may

cause binding and kickback.

Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your

body under the tool base or behind the saw,

especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback

occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over

your hand, leading to serious personal injury.

Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a

speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.

Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of

accuracy, and possible kickback.

Lower guard function

Check the lower guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard

does not move freely and close instantly. Never

clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.

If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may

be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle

and 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 prop-

erly, they must be serviced before use. Lower

guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged

parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

The lower guard may be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"

and "compound cuts". Raise the lower guard

by the retracting handle and as soon as the

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 cover-

ing the blade before placing the 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.

To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,

then release and watch guard closure. Also check

to see that retracting handle does not touch

tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY

DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personal injury.

Additional safety warnings

Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on

the saw blade.

DANGER:

Do not attempt to remove cut material when

blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

Place the wider portion of the saw base on

that part of the workpiece which is solidly

supported, not on the section that will fall off

when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short

or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD

SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

Never attempt to make a cut with the tool held

upside down in a vise. This is extremely dan-

gerous and can lead to serious accidents.

Wear safety goggles and hearing protection

during operation.

Do not use any abrasive wheels.

Only use the saw blade with the diameter that

is marked on the tool or specified in the man-

ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect

the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-

tion which could result in serious personal injury.

Always use the saw blade intended for cutting

the material that you are going to cut.

Only use the saw blades that are marked with

a speed equal or higher than the speed marked

on the tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity

with product (gained from repeated use) replace

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause

serious personal injury.

Important safety instructions for

battery cartridge

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery char-

ger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

Do not disassemble battery cartridge.

If operating time has become excessively

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may

result in a risk of overheating, possible burns

and even an explosion.

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them

out with clear water and seek medical atten-

tion right away. It may result in loss of your
