GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
Read, understand and follow all safety rules and operang instrucons in
this manual before using this product. Failure to follow all instrucons listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Always keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operang a power tool.
Distracons can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges &
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock. If operang the power tool in damp
locaons is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to
supply the power to your tool. Use Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear to
further enhance your personal safety in damp condions.

Serial Number

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Contact Customer
Service if cord is damaged and do not use the saw. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• When operang a power tool outside, always use an outdoor extension cord
with a minimum 13 amperes fuse. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock. For recommended sizes of extension cords
refer to the following table.

PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operang a
power tool. Do not use tool while red or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medicaon. A moment of inaenon while operang power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil & grease. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protecve hair covering to contain long hair.
• Avoid accidental starng. Carrying tools with your nger on the switch or plug-
ging in tools that have the switch in the “ON” posion invites accidents.
• Remove adjusng keys or wrenches before switching the tool “ON”. A wrench
or a key that is le aached to a rotang part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
• Don’t overreach. Keep proper foong and balance at all mes. Proper foong
and balance enables beer control of the tool in unexpected situaons.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protecon. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protecon must be used for appropriate condions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Always use clamps or other praccal ways to secure and support the work piece
to a stable plaorm. Holding the material in your hand or against your body is
dangerous and may lead to loss of control. Hold the tool rmly to prevent loss
of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your applicaon. The correct tool
will do the job beer and at a safer rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any inspecons,
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventave safety
measures reduce the risk of starng the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools in a dry and secure place , out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cung tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cung edges are less likely to jam and are easier to
control. Any alteraon or modicaon is a misuse and may result in a dangerous
condion.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condion that may aect the tool’s operaon. If damaged, contact Cus-
tomer Service before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. Contact Customer
Service to have defecve switches replaced. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
• While operang, always keep the cord away from the cung area.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
Contact Customer Service for informaon for repairs.
• When servicing a tool, always use only idencal replacement parts. Follow in-
strucons in the maintenance secon of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow maintenance instrucons may create a risk of electric shock
or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammo-
nia, etc. may damage plasc parts.
PLEASE NOTE! DO NOT TOUCH ANY MOVING PARTS WHEN THE
MACHINE IS RUNNING.
DANGER! KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA AND BLADE.
• Always keep one hand on the auxiliary handle and the other on the motor hous-
ing. When both hands are holding the saw (machine), they cannot be cut by the
blades. Keep your body posioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line
with the saw blade. Hold the saw rmly to prevent loss of control. Do not reach
underneath the material being cut. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the material. Do not aempt to remove cut material when blade is mov-
ing. Always check that lower guard properly closes before each use. Do not oper-
ate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
e the lower guard into the open posion. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower
guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracng 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 operaon and condion of the lower guard spring.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

If the guard and the spring are not operang properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris. Disconnect the plug from power source. Periodically
remove the blade, clean the upper and lower guards and the hub area with a
degreaser and wipe it dry, or blow it clean with compressed air.
• The lower guard should be retracted manually only for making special cuts such
as “Pocket cuts” and “Compound Cuts”. Always raise lower guard by lower guard
handle lever. As soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be
released for all other sawing. The lower guard should operate automacally.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on a bench or oor. An unprotected, moving blade will cause the saw to
jump, cung whatever is in its path. Be aware of the me it takes for the blade
to stop aer switch is released.
• NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important
to support the material properly to minimize body exposure, blade jamming, or
loss of control.
• Always hold tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operaon where the cung 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 shock the operator.
• DO NOT use any blades other than the DUALSAW Blades specially designed for
this tool. Other blades do not match the mounng hardware & will cause loss
of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect anges (drivers) or bolts. The anges (drivers)
& bolts are specially designed for your saw for opmum performance and safety
of operaon.
• DO NOT turn the saw on while carrying it. Lower guard may be opened by
contact with your clothing. Accidental contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
• Never aempt to operate saw with only one blade. Kickback will occur and
send the saw towards you resulng in serious injury.
HOW TO AVOID KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reacon to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to li up and out of the work piece and toward operator.
When the blade is pinched or bound ghtly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reacon drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
6

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operang procedures or
condions and can be avoided by taking proper precauons as given below:
• Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw and posion your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precauons are taken.
• 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 fricon, blade binding and kickback.
• Use extra cauon when making a “Pocket Cut” into exisng walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
• Depending upon use, the switch may not last the life of the saw. If the switch
should fail in the “OFF” posion, the saw may not start. If it should fail while the
saw is running, the saw may not shut o. If either occurs, unplug the saw
immediately and do not use unl repaired. Contact Customer Service.
• Guard against kickback if the blade binds or the saw stalls and is rapidly driven
back towards the operator, release switch immediately. Do not force tool. Stay
alert, exercise control.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
• DO NOT let familiarity with your saw make you careless. Remember
that a careless fracon of a second is sucient to cause severe injury.
• This saw uses specially designed blades and no other type of blades
should ever be used. Other types of blades will not operate safely in
this saw & could result in serious personal injury.
• If the blades come in contact with the work piece before they reach full
speed, it could cause the saw to kickback toward you resulng in
serious injury.
• Always make sure both blades enter into the material at the same me.
Entering with only one blade will cause unexpected kickback, risking
serious injury. Therefore, in the case of cung at an angle, do not
approach from the side with only one blade touching, but from the top
with both blades entering simultaneously.
• The side of the blades cannot be used for cung. Therefore, in
horizontal cuts, make sure saw is not resng on the lower blade.
Wedge the work piece to prevent unexpected kickback.
