SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific
function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an
unintended purpose.
2. Do not use the tool if any parts are damage broken or misplaced.
Repair or replace the parts.
CUTTING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Some surfaces contain materials which can be toxic. When
working on materials that may contain lead, asbestos, copper chromium
arsenate or other toxic materials, extra care should be taken to avoid
inhalation and minimize skin contact.
1. Only use accessories that are specifically designed for use with the
tool. Ensure the accessory is tightly installed.
a. Do not use blades made from high-speed steel, abrasive blades,
metal-cutting blades or masonry-cutting blades. The guards of
this saw are not designed to protect against the failure of
such blades.
2. Always use a rip fence or straight edge guide when ripping. This
improves the accuracy cut and reduces the chance of binding.
3. Use caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber or
wood containing knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth
advancement of tool without decrease in cutting accessory speed.
4. Do not use a dull or damaged cutting accessory. A dull cutting accessory
requires more force to use the tool, possibly causing the accessory to
break. This may cause an injury and will damage the workpiece.
a. Dull or improperly set cutting accessories produce a narrow kerf
that can cause excessive friction on the cutting accessory,
resulting in binding or a kickback. Keep the cutting accessory’s
edge sharp and clean.
5. Only use a cutting accessory that exceeds the No Load Speed
rating (see Specifications).
6. Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting a cut.

CUTTING TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Use the correct mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is
designed to hold the cutting accessory on the tool to allow optimum
performance and safety of operation. Mismatched mounting hardware
may result in a tool malfunction and cause an injury.
a. Only use a cutting wheel with the correct arbor size and shape
that matches the tool’s spindle.
2. Check the cutting accessory for damage before each use. A damaged
accessory can break during use and cause serious injury.
3. Check that the tool’s safety guard opens and closes freely and does not
touch the cutting accessory. Check each time the safety guard angle is
adjusted, if the tool has that option. Do not operate the tool if the
guard’s movement is impaired.
a. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts
such as plunge cuts and compound cuts. Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
b. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before
placing 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
trigger is released.
4 Inspect material for foreign objects such as staples, nails or debris.
Remove from material before cutting.
5. Affix the workpiece to a stable platform to prevent movement, minimize
body exposure to injury, cutting accessory binding or loss of control.
6. Position the tool on the larger section of a supported workpiece to
complete a cut. Cut the small portion away from the larger portion.
Support the smaller portion if possible to prevent it from binding when
the cut is almost complete.
7. Never confine the part of the workpiece being cut away by holding,
clamping or using length stops against it. That part of the workpiece
could become wedged against the blade and be thrown violently. The
cut away part of the workpiece must be free to move sideways

CIRCULAR SAW PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! When the tool is in operation, keep hands away from the saw
blade and the area it is being applied to. Failure to follow this warning will
result in amputation, serious personal injury or death.
1. Always make sure the circular saw is clean before using.
2. Always handle the circular saw blade with care when mounting or
removing it.
3. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations.
4. Always be aware of the position of your hands relative to the blade.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the blade.
5. Never reach behind or beneath the blade.
6. Do not use this saw with the saw held upside down in a vise. The saw
is not designed for such use and cannot be used safely in that position.
7. Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting accessory.
The tool kicks out and away from the workpiece while the cutting accessory
is still active. This can inflict a serious injury on the user or a bystander.
Kickback can also damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the cutting accessory’s teeth or direction of
rotation. A snagged rotary cutting bit may pull the tool out of the grasp
of the user.
2. If kickback occurs:
a. The cutting accessory may pass over a body part, causing a
seriously injury;
b. A rotary bit may wrench the user’s arm causing muscle or joint
injuries; and
c. The tool may strike bystanders.
3. Use clamps or a vice to hold down smaller workpieces.
4. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the cutting accessory.

5. When the blade is the 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 workpiece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in
motion as kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
6. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
7. 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.
8. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it
may cause binding and kickback.
9. Use extra caution when making a plunge cut into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
1. This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury. Take
frequent breaks when using the tool.
2. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention
as soon as possible.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
4. DO NOT use this tool before consulting a physician if one of the
following applies:
a. Pregnant
b. Impaired blood circulation
to the hands
c. Past hand injuries
d. Nervous system disorders
e. Diabetes
f. Raynaud's Disease
