CORDLESS PLUNGE CUT TRACK SAW
SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from 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.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c) 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.
d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across
your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimise
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
g) 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.
h) 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.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
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 to climb out
of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) 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 controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken.
b) 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 corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and
bevel adjustments are tight.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from work piece before cutting.
WARNING
It is important to support the work piece properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 1
illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
A TYPICAL ILLUSTRATION OF PROPER
HAND SUPPORT WORKPIECE SUPPORT,
AND SUPPLY CORD ROUTING.
Fig. 1
3. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the work piece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall offwhen the cut is
made.
As examples, Fig. 2 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut
offthe end of board, and Fig. 3 the WRONG way. If the
work piece is short or small, clamp it down.
DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!
Fig. 2
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material.
If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
f) 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.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Guard function
a) Check the guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if the guard does
not move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is
exposed.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be
bent.
Check to make sure that the guard moves freely and
does not touch he blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before
use.
The guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not
shift while performing a “plunge cut”.
Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely
kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering 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.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with
the protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this
product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may
stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection
function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor
stops.
In such case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes
of overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the
battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery
cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and
caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation,
smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand,
please be sure to heed the following precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the
battery.
○ During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall
on the battery.
○ Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power
tool during work do not collect on the battery.
○ Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed
to swarf and dust.
○ Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust
that may adhere to it and do not store it together with
metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject
the battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed
battery.
4. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those
specified.
5. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a
specified recharging time has elapsed, immediately
stop further recharging.
6. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures
or high pressure such as into a microwave oven,
dryer, or high pressure container.
7. Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul
odor are detected.
8. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity
generates.
9. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated,
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears
abnormal during use, recharging or storage,
immediately remove it from the equipment or battery
charger, and stop use.
10. Do not immerse the battery or allow any fluids to flow
inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can
cause damage resulting in fire or explosion. Store your
battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible
and flammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres
must be avoided.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh
clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor
immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you find rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when using
the battery for the first time, do not use and return it to
your supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the
terminals of the lithium ion battery, a short-circuit may
occur resulting in the risk of fire. Please observe the
following matters when storing the battery.
○ Do not place electrically conductive cuttings,
nails, steel wire, copper wire or other wire in the
storage case.
○ Either install the battery in the power tool or store
by securely pressing into the battery cover until
the ventilation holes are concealed to prevent
short-circuits (See Fig. 6).
