lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b ) Check the operation 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 build-
up of debris.
c ) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts."
Raise the lower guard by retracting the handle and as
soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d ) 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.
Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

Changing Blades (Fig. A, B)
To Install the Blade

WARNING: Remove battery before service, adjustment,
installing or removing accessories.
1. Place inner clamp washer
2. Retract the lower blade guard
spindle against the inner clamp washer, making sure that
the blade will rotate in the proper direction (the direction
of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must
point in the same direction as the direction of rotation arrow
on the lower blade guard). Do not assume that the printing
on the blade will always be facing you when properly
installed. When retracting the lower blade guard to install
the blade, check the condition and operation of the lower
blade guard to assure that it is working properly. Make sure
it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
3. Place outer clamp washer
the large flat surface against the blade with beveled side
facing out.
4. Thread blade clamping screw
hand (screw has left-hand threads and must be turned
counterclockwise to tighten).
5. Depress the blade lock button
spindle with the blade wrench
the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
