GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Donot operate powertools in explosiveatmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoidbody contactwith earthedor groundedsurfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool willincrease therisk of electric
shock.
Donot abuse thecord.Neveruse the cordfor carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sioncordsuitable foroutdoor use. Useof a cordsuitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Usethis productonly withbatteries andchargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sensewhen operatinga powertool. Donotuseapower

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
Donot wear loose clothingor jewelry. Contain longhair.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Donot forcethepowertool. Usethe correctpowertool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

have the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keepcutting toolssharp andclean. Properlymaintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Usepower tools only with specificallydesignated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
othermetal objects, likepaper clips, coins,keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265° F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
CUTTING PROCEDURES
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 can-
not be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece.Less than a full toothof the bladeteeth should
be visible below the workpiece.
Neverhold the workpiece inyour hands or acrossyour
leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly to
minimisebody exposure,blade binding, or lossof control.
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.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
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.
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 operat-
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
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.
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.
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 workpiece 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 ex-
cessive 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.
GUARD FUNCTION
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 the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
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.
Assurethatthe base plateof the sawwill notshiftwhile
performing a “plunge cut”. Blade shifting sideways will
cause binding and likely kick back.
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 the switch is
released.
Do not use abrasive wheels with this saw.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
RIVING KNIFE FUNCTION
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For
the riving knife to function, the body of the blade must
be thinner than the riving knife and the cutting width of
the blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving
knife.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual.Incorrectspacing, positioning andalignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
Always use the riving knife, except when plunge
cutting. The riving knife must be replaced after plunge
cutting.The riving knife causesinterferenceduring plunge
cutting and can create kickback.
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing
kickback during short cuts.
Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent. Even
a light interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the body of the
saw blade must be thicker than 1.0 mm and the cutting
width of the saw blade must be wider than 1.4 mm.
