SAFETY INFORMATION
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
• 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 burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specic Safety Warnings for Circular Saws
Safety Instructions for All Saws
DANGER
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the
auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot 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 tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, and loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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 arbor holes of the correct size and sharp (diamond versus
round).Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
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 safe operation.
