13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
17. 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. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
19. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to circular saw
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1.
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area
and 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.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the
saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade.
KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards.
(See "Causes and Operator Prevention of Kick-
back")
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can
not protect you from the blade below the work. Do
not attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until
blade stops before grasping cut material.
2.
Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open posi-
tion. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting
Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,
then release and watch guard closure. Also check to
see that Retracting Lever does not touch tool hous-
ing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS
and can lead to serious personal injury.
3.
Check the operation and condition of the lower
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of
debris.
4.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and
"Compound Cuts." Raise lower guard by Retract-
ing Lever. As soon as blade enters the material,
lower guard must be released. For all other saw-
ing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
5.
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 switch is released.
6.
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.

7.
Hold 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 tool
"live" and shock the operator.
8.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance for blade binding.
9.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do
