Additional Safety Instructions for Circular Saws
a. Inspect the condition and quality of the
wood and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting. Wet lumber, green lum-
ber or pressure treated lumber require
special attention during cutting opera-
tion to prevent kickback.
b. Hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control. Figures in this manual illustrate
typical hand support of the saw.
c. Depending upon use, the switch may
not last the life of the saw. If the switch
should fail in the "OFF" position, the
saw may not start. If it should fail while
the saw is running, the saw may not
shut off. If either occurs, remove the bat-
tery pack from the saw immediately and
do not use until repaired.
d. This circular saw should not be mount-
ed to a table and converted to a table
saw. Circular saws are not designed or
intended to be used as table saws.
e. Never place your hand behind the saw
blade. Kickback could cause the saw to
jump backwards over your hand.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful not to disassemble any portion of the
tool since internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched or safety guard return springs
may be improperly mounted. Certain clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
grinding, drilling, and other construction ac-
tivities contains chemicals known 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.

f. Do not use the saw with an excessive
depth of cut setting. Too much blade
exposure increases the likelihood of the
blade twisting in the kerf and increases
the surface area of the blade available for
pinching that leads to kickback.
g. Do not run the tool while carrying it at
your side. Lower guard may be opened by
a contact with your clothing. Accidental
contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
h. Periodically remove the blade, clean the
upper, lower guards and the hub area.
Wipe it dry. Preventive maintenance and
properly operating guard will reduce the
probability of an accident.
i. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
j. Avoid overheating saw blade tips.
Your risk from these exposures varies, de-
pending 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.
