clean and free from oil and grease.Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for 
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected 
situations.

3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 
objects, that can make a connection from one 
terminal to another.Shortingthebatterytermi-

Cutting procedures
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting 
area and the blade. Keep your second hand 
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both 
handsareholdingthesaw,theycannotbecutby
the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The 
guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe
workpiece.
3. 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.
4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or 
across your leg while cutting. Secure the 
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to 
supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo-
sure, blade binding, or loss of control.

5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, 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 power tool “live” 
and could give the operator an electric shock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or 
straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size and shape 
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. 
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware 
of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of 
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were 
speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum

Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, 
jammedormisalignedsawblade,causingan
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece 
toward the operator;
— whenthebladeispinchedorjammedtightlybythe
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor 
reactiondrivestheunitrapidlybacktowardthe
operator;
— if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the 
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig 
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade 
toclimboutofthekerfandjumpbacktowardthe
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect 
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided 
bytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.
1. Maintain a rm 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
