General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265 °F may
cause explosion.
1. Cutting procedures
a.
the blade. Keep your second hand on mo-
tor 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
minimize 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 hid-
den wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the pow-
er tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
g. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side 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.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or autho-
rized service providers.
f. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the ac-
curacy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of ar-
bor holes. Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run off-
center, 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 op-
eration.
2. 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
