Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

Keep by-standers, children, and visitors

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

A battery operated tool with integral

batteries or a separate battery pack must

be recharged only with the specified

charger for the battery.

A charger that may

be suitable for one type of battery may create

a risk of fire when used with another battery.

Use battery operated tool only with

specifically designated battery pack.

Use

of any other batteries may create a risk of

fire.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and

use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication.

A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away

from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry,

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch

is in the locked or off position before

inserting battery pack.

Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or inserting the

battery pack into a tool with the switch on

invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

before turning the tool on.

A wrench or a

key that is left attached to a rotating part of

the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must

be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform.

Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and may

lead to loss of control.

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.

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.

Disconnect battery pack from tool or

place the switch in the locked or off

position before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store

idle tools out of reach of children and

other untrained persons.

Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

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.

Safety Rules for Circular Saws

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.

Hold the

saw firmly to prevent loss of control. Figures in

this manual illustrate typical hand support of the

saw. NEVER place your hand behind the saw

blade since kickback could cause the saw to

jump backwards over your hand.

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 Kickback.”)

Do not reach underneath the work. The

guard cannot protect you from the blade below

the work.

Do not attempt to remove cut material

when blade is moving.

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 position.

If saw is accidentally dropped,

lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard

only with the Lower Guard Lift Lever and make

sure it moves freely and does not touch the

blade or any other part, in all angles and depths

of cut.

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 buildup of debris.

Disconnect

battery pack from tool. Periodically remove the

blade, clean the upper, lower guards and the

hub area with kerosene and wipe it dry, or blow

it clean with compressed air.

Lower guard should be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts”

and “Compound Cuts”. Raise lower guard

by Lower Guard Lift Lever. As soon as blade

enters the material, lower guard must be

released.

For all other sawing, the lower guard

should operate automatically.

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.

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.

Hold tool by the 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.

DANGER

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained

ools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to

ind and are easier to control.

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 accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

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

Tool service must be performed only by

ualified repair personnel.

ervice or

aintenance performed by unqualified

personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of

shock or injury.

SM 1619X02227 01-07 1/12/07 3:22 PM Page 3

When ripping always use a rip fence or

traight edge guide.

his improves accuracy

of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.

Always use blades with correct size and

shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.

lades that do not match the mounting

ardware of the saw will run eccentrically,

causing loss of control and will not allow proper

vari-torque engagement.

Never use damaged or incorrect blade

washers or bolts.

The blade washers and bolt

were specially designed for your saw, for

optimum performance and safety of operation.

The blade washers and the bolt on your saw

have been designed to work as a “VARI-

TORQUE CLUTCH”. Understand the operation

and settings of the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH,

because the proper setting of the CLUTCH,

combined with firm handling of the saw will

allow you to control KICKBACK.

Do not run the saw 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.

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 battery pack from saw

immediately and do not use until repaired.

This circular saw should not be mounted to

a table and converted to a table saw.

Circular

saws are not designed or intended to be used

as table saws.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION

OF KICKBACK:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound 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 bound 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 blade

can dig into the top surface of the wood causing

the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back

toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions

and can be avoided by taking proper

recautions as given below:

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the

saw and position your body and arm to

allow you to resist KICKBACK forces.

KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When blade is binding, or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, release the trigger and

hold the saw motionless in the material until

the blade comes to a complete stop. Never

attempt to remove the saw from the work or

pull the saw backward while the blade is in

motion or KICKBACK may occur.

Investigate

and take corrective action to eliminate the cause

of blade binding.

Wet lumber, green lumber or

pressure treated lumber require special

attention during cutting operation to prevent

KICKBACK. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and

remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

When restarting a saw in a workpiece,

center the saw blade in the kerf and check

that saw teeth are not engaged into the

material.

If saw blade is binding, it may walk up

or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is

restarted.

Support large panels to minimize the risk of

blade pinching and KICKBACK.

Large panels

tend to sag under their own weight. Supports

must be placed under the panel on both sides,

near the line of cut and near the edge of the

panel.

See “Cutting Large Sheets” in this

manual.

Do not use dull or damaged blade.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade

binding and KICKBACK.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking

knobs must be tight and secure before

making cut.

If blade adjustment shifts while

cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

-4-

SM 1619X02227 01-07 1/12/07 3:22 PM Page 4

Using the saw with an excessive depth of cut

setting increases loading on the unit and

susceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kerf.

It also increases the surface area of the blade

available for pinching under conditions of kerf

close down.

Use extra caution when making a “Pocket

Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause KICKBACK.

Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities 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

nd 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.

Assembly

ATTACHING THE BLADE

Disconnect battery pack

rom tool or place the

witch in the locked or off position before

making any assembly, adjustments or

changing accessories

. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the tool accidentally.

1. Turn BLADE STUD with wrench provided

counter-clockwise and remove BLADE STUD

and OUTER WASHER (Fig. 2). If the shaft

moves while attempting to loosen the blade

stud, strike the wrench counter-clockwise to jar

BLADE STUD loose.

2. Retract the lower guard all the way up into

the upper guard. While retracting the lower

guard, check operation and condition of the

LOWER GUARD SPRING.

3. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the

blade point in the same direction as the arrow

on the lower guard.

4. Slide blade through slot in the foot and

mount it against the INNER WASHER on the

shaft. Be sure the large diameter of the OUTER

washer lays flush against the blade.

5. Reinstall OUTER WASHER and tighten

BLADE STUD finger tight. To lock shaft hold

the saw securely by the upper guard with blade

teeth imbedded in scrap wood and TIGHTEN

BLADE STUD 1/8 TURN (45°) WITH THE

WRENCH PROVIDED.

Do not use wrenches with longer handles,

since it may lead to over tightening of the blade

stud.

VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH

This clutching action is provided by the friction

of the OUTER WASHER against the BLADE

and permits the blade shaft to turn when the

blade encounters excessive resistance. When

the BLADE STUD is properly tightened (as

described in No. 5 of Attaching The Blade), the

blade will slip when it encounters excessive

resistance, thus reducing saw’s tendency to

KICKBACK.

One setting may not be sufficient for cutting all

materials. If excessive blade slippage occurs,

tighten the blade stud a fraction of a turn more

(less than 1/8 turn). OVERTIGHTENING THE

BLADE STUD NULLIFIES THE EFFECTIVE-

NESS OF THE CLUTCH.

DUST EXTRACTION

(Not included,available as accessory)

Your tool is equipped with a dust port adapter

for dust and chip extraction. To attach, push

tabs on end of adapter into dust port until it

snaps into place. To use this feature, attach

standard 1-1/4" vacuum hose (optional

accessory) to the dust port adapter.

To prevent personal injury,

always position dust port

adapter and vacuum hose so that it does

not interfere with the lower guard, or the

cutting operation at all settings.

Disconnect battery pack from tool. Loosen the

depth adjustment lever located between the

guard and handle of saw. Hold the foot down

with one hand and raise or lower saw by the

handle. Tighten lever at the depth setting

desired. Check desired depth (Fig. 3).

Not more than one tooth length of the blade

hould extend below the material to be cut, for

inimum splintering (Fig. 4).

SAFETY SWITCH

The safety switch is designed to prevent

accidental starts. To operate safety switch,

press the release button with your thumb on

either side of handle to disengage the lock,

then pull the trigger (Fig. 5). When the trigger

is released the button will engage the safety

switch automatically, and the trigger will no

longer operate. (See Switch & General Cuts

on page 11.)

90° CUTTING ANGLE CHECK

Disconnect battery pack from tool. Set foot to

maximum depth of cut setting. Loosen bevel

adjustment knob, set to 0° on quadrant,

retighten knob and check for 90° angle

between the blade and bottom plane of foot

with a square (Fig. 6). If adjustment is

necessary, tilt foot to 45°, tighten bevel

adjustment knob and bend "TAB" with an

adjustable wrench or pliers (Fig. 7).

BEVEL ADJUSTMENT

Disconnect battery pack from tool. The foot

can be adjusted up to 45° by loosening the

bevel adjustment knob at the front of the saw.

Align to desired angle on calibrated quadrant.

Then tighten bevel adjustment knob (Fig. 8).

Because of the increased amount of blade

engagement in the work and decreased

stability of the foot, blade binding may occur.

Keep the saw steady and the foot firmly on

the workpiece.

SWITCH

When starting the tool,

hold it with both hands.

The torque from the motor can cause the tool

to twist.

To turn tool “ON”, squeeze the trigger switch.

To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger

switch, which is spring loaded and will return

to the off position automatically.

Your saw should be running at full speed

BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only

AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch

life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.

GENERAL CUTS

Always hold the saw handle with one hand

and the auxiliary handle or housing with the

other.

Always be sure either hand

does not interfere with the

free movement of the lower guard.

Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch

with a decisive action. Never force the saw.

Use light and continuous pressure.

After completing a cut and

the trigger has been

released, be aware of the necessary time it

takes for the blade to come to a complete

stop during coast down. Do not allow the

saw to brush against your leg or side,

since the lower guard is retractable, it

could catch on your clothing and expose

the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade

exposures that exist in both the upper and

lower guard areas.

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:

squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to

reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and

resume cutting.

When cutting across the grain, the fibers of

the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.

Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this

effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or

miter blade is recommended.

CUTTING MASONRY/METAL

This tool is not recommended for continuous

and general usage with metal or masonry cut-

off wheels. If you use your saw for cutting

these materials, use the appropriate wheel for

the material being cut.

When cutting masonry, do not cut a depth of

more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). Make successive

passes to achieve desired depth. Apply a light

forward pressure. Do not overload motor.

Disconnect battery pack from tool and clean

dust from air vents frequently. Metal cutting is

done at full depth.

Clean guards frequently to

assure a rapid return of

lower guard.

The lower guard may become

sluggish when cutting masonry materials.

Abrasive Cut Off Wheels

must have a maximum

safe operating speed greater than the “no

load RPM” marked on the tool’s

nameplate.

Wheels running over the rated

speed can fly apart and cause injury.

Do not use the abrasive

cut off wheel near

flammable materials.

Sparks from the wheel

could ignite these materials.

This machine is not

intended to be used with

Wet Diamond Wheels.

Using water or other

liquid coolants with this machine may result

in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry

Diamond Wheels is acceptable.

-11-

ADJUSTABLE LINE GUIDE

For a straight 90° cut you can use the left or

right side of notch in the foot. For 45° bevel

cuts, use the left side (Fig 9). The guide can

be adjusted to allow for variation in blade

thicknesses for whichever side of the blade

he user would prefer to cut the line on.

TO ATTACH: Disconnect battery pack from

tool. Align hole in adjustable line guide with

hole in foot and secure with screw provide.

TO ADJUST: Loosen but don’t remove, the

adjustment screw enough so the guide can

move freely. Set a straightedge flat on the

preferred side of the blade, lining up both the

edge of the straightedge and the edge of the

guide where the 0° mark is located.

POCKET CUTS

Disconnect battery pack from tool before

making adjustments. Set depth adjust-ment

according to material to be cut. Tilt saw forward

with cutting guide notch lined up with the line

you’ve drawn. Raise the lower guard, using lift

lever and hold the saw by the front and rear

andles (Fig. 10).

With the blade just clearing the material to be

cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back

end of saw using the front end of the foot as the

hinge point.

WARNING: As blade starts

cutting the material, release the lower guard

immediately.

When the foot rests flat on the

surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward

direction to end of cut.

WARNING: Allow blade

to come to a complete stop before lifting the

saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw

backward since blade will climb out of the

material and KICKBACK will occur.

Turn saw

around and finish the cut in the normal manner,

sawing forward. If corners of your pocket cut are

not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or

hand saw to finish the corners.

CUTTING LARGE SHEETS

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,

depending on support. If you attempt to cut

ithout leveling and properly supporting the

piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-

BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 11).

Support the panel or board close to the cut, as

shown in (Fig. 12). Be sure to set the depth of

the cut so that you cut through the sheet or

board only and not the table or work bench. The

two-by-fours used to raise and support the work

should be positioned so that the broadest sides

support the work and rest on the table or bench.

Do not support the work with the narrow sides as

this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or

board to be cut is too large for a table or work

bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the

floor and secure.

RIP CUTS

The combination blade provided with your saw

is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is

cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood.

Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence (Fig.

13). Rip Fence is available as an accessory (not

included). To attach fence, insert fence through

slots in foot to desired width as shown and

secure with the wing nut (not included).

RIP BOARD GUIDE

When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence

may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp

or nail a straight piece of 1" lumber to the

sheet as a guide (Fig. 14). Use the right side

of the foot against the board guide.

The battery is equipped with a charged

condition indicator (Fig. 15). The indicator

ights shows the charged condition of the

attery during the working process.

By pressing the button ON, the charged

condition can also be checked when the

battery is removed or when the machine is not

in use.

• • • When all three lights are illuminated, this

indicates the battery pack is fully charged.

• • When only two lights illuminate, this

indicates the battery pack is partially charged.

• When only one light illuminates, this

indicates the battery pack is slightly charged.

When no lights illuminate, this indicates the

battery pack is completely discharged.

Plug charger cord into your standard power

outlet, then slide the battery pack into charger

(Fig. 15).

The charger’s green indicator will begin to

“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is

receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will

automatically stop when the battery pack is

fully charged.

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”

(and becomes a steady green light) fast

charging is complete.

When you begin the charging process of the

battery pack, a steady green light could also

mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

The purpose of the light is to indicate that the

battery pack is fast-charging. It does not

indicate the exact point of full charge. The

light will stop blinking in less time if the

battery pack was not completely discharged.

When the battery pack is fully charged,

unplug the charger (unless you're charging

another battery pack) and slip the battery

1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%

of its maximum capacity with its first few

charge cycles. However, after the first few

charge cycles, the battery will charge to full

capacity.

2. The charger was designed to fast charge

the battery only when the battery

temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and

105˚F (41˚C).

3. A substantial drop in operating time per

charge may mean that the battery pack is

nearing the end of its life and should be

replaced.

4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month

or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to

run your tool down until it is fully discharged

before storing your battery pack. After a long

period of storage, the capacity at first recharge

will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored

in two or three charge/discharge cycles.

Remember to unplug charger during storage

period.

5. If battery does not charge properly:

a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging

in some other electrical device.

b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a

light switch which turns power “off” when

lights are turned off.

c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.

Clean with cotton swab if necessary.

d. If you still do not get proper charging,

take or send tool, battery pack and charger

to your local Skil Service Center. See “Tools,

Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and

addresses.

Note: Use of charger’s or battery packs not

sold by Skil will void the warranty.

Accessories

If an extension cord is

necessary, a cord with

adequate size conductors that is capable

of carrying the current necessary for your

tool must be used.

This will prevent

excessive voltage drop, loss of power or

overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-

wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs

and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the

heavier the cord.

maintenance performed by unauthorized

personnel may result in misplacing of

internal wires and components which

could cause serious hazard.

We recom-

mend that all tool service be performed by a

Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized

Skil Service Station. SERVICEMEN:

Disconnect tool and/or charger from power

source before servicing.

BATTERIES

Be alert for battery packs that are nearing

their end of life.

If you notice decreased

tool performance or significantly shorter

running time between charges then it is time

to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so

can cause the tool to operate improperly or

damage the charger.

Long term battery storage should be in

the discharged state.

Battery packs last

longer and re-charge better when they are

stored discharged. Remember to fully re-

charge battery packs before using after

prolonged storage.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated

and is ready for use.

D.C. MOTORS

The motor in your tool has been engineered

for many hours of dependable service. To

aintain peak efficiency of the motor, we

recommend it be examined every six months.

Only a genuine Skil replacement motor

specially designed for your tool should be

used.

BEARINGS

Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy

load or very abrasive material cutting) should

be replaced at once to avoid overheating and

motor failure.

Cleaning

To avoid accidents, always

disconnect the tool and/or

charger from the power supply before

cleaning.

The tool may be cleaned most

effectively with compressed dry air.

Always

wear safety goggles when cleaning tools

with compressed air.

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be

kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not

attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects

through opening.

Certain cleaning agents

and solvents damage

plastic parts.

Some of these are: gasoline,

carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning

solvents, ammonia and household detergents

that contain ammonia.

Vous devez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions. Le non-respect, même partiel,

des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de choc életrique, d'incendie et/ou de

blessures graves.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

AVERTISSEMENT

Aire de travail

Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et bien

éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière

favorisent les accidents.

N'utilisez pas d'outils électriques dans une

atmosphère explosive, par exemple enprésence de

liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les

outils électriques créent des étincelles qui pourraient

enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.

Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les

visiteurs pendant que vous travaillez avec un outil

électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et vous faire

faire une fausse manoeuvre.

Sécurité électrique

Un outil à pile avec piles incorporées ou bloc-pile

distinct doit être rechargé uniquement avec le

chargeur indiqué pour la pile. Un chargeur qui peut

être adéquat pour un type de pile peut créer un risque

d'incendie lorsqu'il est utilisé avec une autre pile.

Utiliser un outil à pile uniquement avec le bloc-pile

désigné spécifiquement. L'emploi de toute autre pile

peut créer un risque d'incendie.

Sécurité des personnes

Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et

faites preuve de jugement. N'utilisez pas un outil

électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence de

drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant

d'inattention suffit pour entraîner des blessures graves.

Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni

vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confinez les cheveux

longs. N'approchez jamais les cheveux, les

vêtements ou les gants des pièces en mouvement.

Des vêtements flottants, des bijoux ou des cheveux

longs risquent d'être happés par des pièces en

mouvement.

Évitez la mise en marche accidentelle. Assurez-

vous que l'interrupteur est en position de blocage

ou d'arrêt avant d'insérer le bloc-pile. Il est

dangereux de transporter l'outil avec le doigt sur

l'interrupteur ou d'insérer le bloc-pile dans un outil

alors que l'interrupteur est en position de marche.

Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage avant de

démarrer l'outil. Une clé laissée dans une pièce

tournante de l'outil peut provoquer des blessures.

Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon

appui et restez en équilibre entout temps. Un bonne

stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une situation

inattendue.

Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours

des lunettes ou une visière. Selon les conditions,

portez aussi un masque antipoussière, des bottes de

sécurité antidérapantes, un casque protecteur et/ou un

appareil antibruit.

Utilisation et entretien des outils

Immobilisez le matériau sur une surface stable au

moyen de brides ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le

fait de tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre votre corps

offre une stabilité insuffisante et peut amener un

dérapage de l'outil.

Ne forcez pas l'outil. Utilisez l'outil approprié à la

tâche. L'outil correct fonctionne mieux et de façon plus

sécuritaire. Respectez aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui

est propre.

N'utilisez pas l'outil si l'interrupteur ne le met pas

en marche ou à l'arrêt. Un outil qui ne peut être

contrôlé par l'interrupteur est dangereux et doit être

réparé.

Débranchez le bloc-pile de l'outil ou mettez

l'interrupteur en position de blocage ou d'arrêt

avant d'effectuer tout réglage, de changer les

accessoires ou de remiser l'outil. Ces mesures de

sécurité préventives réduisent le risque d'une mise en

marche accidentelle de l'outil.

Rangez les outils hors de la portée des enfants et

d'autres personnes inexpérimentées. Les outils sont

dangereux dans les mains d'utilisateurs novices.

Lorsque le bloc-pile n'est pas en usage, tenez-le à

l'écart d'autres objets métalliques tels que

trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou

autres petits objets métalliques susceptibles

d'établir une connexion d'une borne à une autre. Le

court-circuitage des bornes de batterie ensemble peut

causer des étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.

Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Les outils de

coupe doivent être toujours bien affûtés et propres.

Des outils bien entretenus, dont les arêtes sont bien

tranchantes, sont moins susceptibles de coincer et plus

faciles à diriger.

Consignes de sécurité pour scies circulaires

Tenez les mains à l'écart de l'aire

de coupe et de la lame. Gardez

votre deuxième main sur la poignée auxiliaire ou le

carter du moteur. Si les deux mains tiennent la scie,

elles ne peuvent être coupées par la lame. Tenez la scie

fermement pour prévenir une perte de contrôle. Les

figures de ce manuel illustrent le support manuel

typique de la scie. Ne JAMAIS placez votre main

derrière la lame de la scie car le rebond pourrait faire

sauter la scie vers l'arrière par-dessus votre main.

Gardez votre corps positionné d'un côté ou de l'autre

de la lame de scie, mais non dans le prolongement

de la lame de scie. Le REBOND pourrait faire sauter la

scie vers l'arrière. (Voir « Causes et prévention, par

l'opérateur, du rebond »).

N'introduisez pas la main sous l'ouvrage. Le garde ne

peut vous protéger de la lame sous l'ouvrage. Ne tentez

pas d'enlever des matériaux coupés lorsque la lame est

en mouvement.

Vérifiez le garde inférieur pour vous assurer qu'il

ferme adéquatement avant chaque usage. N'utilisez

pas la scie si le garde inférieur ne bouge pas

librement et ne ferme pas instantanément. Ne pincez

ou ne fixez jamais le garde inférieur en position

ouverte. Si la scie tombe par mégarde, le garde

inférieur peut être plié. Levez le garde inférieur

uniquement à l'aide de la levier de levage du garde

inférieur, et assurez-vous qu'il bouge librement et ne

vient pas en contact avec la lame ou aucune autre pièce,

sous tous les angles et profondeurs de coupe.

Vérifiez le fonctionnement du ressort du rappel du

garde inférieur. Si le garde et le ressort ne

fonctionnent pas adéquatement, ils doivent être

réparés avant usage.

Le garde inférieur peut

fonctionner paresseusement en raison de pièces

abîmées, de dépôts gommeux ou d'une accumulation

de débris. Débranchez le bloc-pile de l'outil. À

intervalles périodiques, déposez la lame, nettoyez les

gardes supérieur et inférieur et la région du moyeu à

l'aide de kérosène et essuyez pour sécher, ou nettoyez

en soufflant de l'air comprimé.

Le garde inférieur doit être rétracté manuellement

uniquement pour des coupes spéciales telles que les

« coupes en poche » et les « coupes combinées ».

Levez le garde inférieur à l'aide de la levier de levage

du garde inférieur. Le garde inférieur doit être relâché

dès que la lame pénètre dans l'ouvrage. Pour toutes les

autres opérations de sciage, le garde inférieur doit

fonctionner automatiquement.

Assurez-vous toujours que le garde inférieur couvre la

lame avant de déposer la scie sur l'établi ou le

plancher. Une lame non protégée, qui continue à

marcher par inertie, fera reculer la scie, coupant ainsi

tout ce qui est sur son chemin. Sachez le temps qu'il

faut pour que la lame s'arrête après relâchement de

l'interrupteur.

Ne tenez JAMAIS la pièce à couper dans vos mains ou

sur vos jambes. Il importe de supporter l'ouvrage

adéquatement afin de minimiser l'exposition corporelle,

le grippage de lame ou la perte de contrôle.

Tenez l'outil par les surfaces isolées de préhension

en effectuant une opération au cours de laquelle

l'outil de coupe peut venir en contact avec des fils

dissimulés. Le contact avec un fil sous tension rendra

DANGER

Soyez attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement

des pièces en mouvement, à tout bris ou à toute autre

condition préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement de

l'outil. Si vous constatez qu'un outil est endommagé,

faites-le réparer avant de vous en servir. De

nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils en

mauvais état.

N'utilisez que des accessoires que le fabricant

recommande pour votre modèle d'outil. Certains

accessoires peuvent convenir à un outil, mais être

dangereux avec un autre.

Réparation

La réparation des outils électriques doit être confiée

à un réparateur qualifié. L'entretien ou la réparation

d'un outil électrique par un amateur peut avoir des

conséquences graves.

Pour la réparation d'un outil, n'employez que des

pièces de rechange d'origine. Suivez les directives

données à la section « Réparation » de ce manuel.

L'emploi de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect

des instructions d'entretien peut créer un risque de

choc électrique ou de blessures.

SM 1619X02227 01-07 1/12/07 3:22 PM Page 18

également les parties métalliques exposées de l'outil

sous tension et causera des chocs à l'opérateur.

En refendant, utilisez toujours un guide de refente ou

une règle. Ceci améliore l'exactitude de la coupe et

réduit les possibilités de grippage de la lame.

Utilisez toujours des lames avec trous d'arbre de la

dimension et de la forme appropriées (en diamant par

rapport à rondes). Les lames qui ne se marient pas

avec le système de montage de la scie ne tourneront

pas rond. Il en résultera une perte de contrôle et un

mauvais fonctionnement du vari-torque.

N'utilisez jamais des rondelles ou boulons de lame

abîmés ou incorrects. Les rondelles et les boulons de

lame ont été conçus spécialement pour votre scie, pour

une performance optimale et pour un fonctionnement

des plus sûrs. Les rondelles de lame et le boulon sur

votre scie ont été conçus de manière à travailler comme

« EMBRAYAGE À COUPLE VARIABLE ». Comprenez le

fonctionnement et les réglages de l'EMBRAYAGE À

COUPLE VARIABLE car le réglage approprié de

l'EMBRAYAGE, combiné au maniement ferme de la scie,

vous permettra de contrôler le REBOND.

Ne faites pas fonctionner la scie tout en la portant à

votre côté. Le garde inférieur peut s'ouvrir au contact

avec vos vêtements. Un contact accidentel avec la lame

de scie en rotation pourrait provoquer des blessures

graves.

Suivant l'usage, l'interrupteur peut ne pas durer aussi

longtemps que la scie. Si l'interrupteur fait défaut en

position d'arrêt, la scie peut ne pas se mettre en

marche. S'il devient défectueux pendant que la scie

est en marche, la scie peut ne pas s'arrêter. Dans les

deux cas, enlevez immédiatement le bloc-pile de la scie

et n’utilisez pas la scie avant qu’elle ait été réparée.

Cette scie circulaire ne doit pas être montée sur une

table et convertie en scie de table. Les scies

circulaires ne sont pas conçues ni destinées à être

utilisées comme scies de table.

CAUSES ET PRÉVENTION, PAR L'OPÉRATEUR,

DU REBOND :

Le rebond est une réaction soudaine à une lame de scie

pincée, grippée ou mal alignée, amenant ainsi la scie

non contrôlée à lever et ressortir de l'ouvrage en

direction de l'opérateur.

Lorsque la lame est pincée ou grippée fermement par le

trait de scie qui se referme, la lame bloque et la réaction

du moteur ramène rapidement l'outil en direction de

l'opérateur.

Si la lame devient tordue ou mal alignée dans la coupe,

les dents du bord arrière de la lame peuvent s'enfoncer

dans la surface supérieure du bois, amenant ainsi la

lame à sortir du trait de scie et à revenir vers

l'opérateur.

Le rebond est le résultat d'une utilisation erronée de

l'outil et/ou de méthodes ou de conditions de

fonctionnement incorrectes, et on peut l'éviter en

prenant les précautions appropriées, comme indiqué ci-

après :

Maintenez une prise ferme avec les deux mains sur la

scie et positionnez votre corps et votre bras de

manière à résister aux forces de REBOND. L'opérateur

peut contrôler les forces de rebond si les précautions

appropriées sont prises.

Lorsque la lame grippe ou lorsqu'une coupe est

interrompue pour quelque motif que ce soit, relâchez

la gâchette et tenez la scie sans bouger dans

l'ouvrage jusqu'à ce que la lame s'arrête

complètement. Ne tentez jamais de retirer la scie de

l'ouvrage ou de tirer la scie vers l'arrière pendant que

la lame est en mouvement, ce qui pourrait provoquer

un REBOND. Recherchez la cause du grippage de lame

et prenez les mesures nécessaires pour le corriger. Le

bois mouillé, le bois vert ou le bois traité par pression

nécessitent une attention spéciale durant la coupe pour

prévenir le REBOND. Évitez de couper les clous.

Recherchez et enlevez tous les clous du bois avant de

couper.

Lorsque vous remettez une scie en marche dans un

ouvrage, centrez la lame de scie dans le trait de scie

et assurez-vous que les dents de scie ne sont pas

engagées dans l'ouvrage. Si la lame de scie grippe, elle

peut remonter ou REBONDIR depuis l'ouvrage lorsque

la scie est remise en marche.

Supportez les gros panneaux pour minimiser le risque

de pincement de lame et de REBOND. Les gros

panneaux ont tendance à s'affaisser sous leur propre

poids. Des supports doivent être placés sous le panneau

des deux côtés, près de la ligne de coupe et près du

bord du panneau. Voir « Coupe de gros panneaux»

dans ce manuel.

N'utilisez pas une lame émoussée ou abîmée. Les

lames non affûtées ou réglées de façon inappropriée

produisent un trait de scie étroit, ce qui cause une

friction excessive, un grippage de lame et un REBOND.

-19-

REBOND

SM 1619X02227 01-07 1/12/07 3:22 PM Page 19

Les boutons de blocage de réglage de biseau et de

profondeur de lame doivent être serrés et fermes

avant de pratiquer la coupe. Un déplacement du

réglage de lame durant la coupe peut causer un

grippage et un REBOND. L'utilisation de la scie avec un

réglage excessif de profondeur de coupe accroît la

charge sur l'outil et la sensibilité à la torsion de la lame

dans le trait de scie. Elle accroît également la surface de

lame disponible pour pincement dans des conditions de

fermeture du trait de scie.

Redoubler de prudence en pratiquant une « coupe de

poche » dans des murs existants ou autres parties

aveugles. La lame faisant saillie peut couper des objets

qui peuvent causer un REBOND.

Les travaux à la machine

tel que ponçage, sciage,

meulage, perçage et autres travaux du bâtiment

peuvent créer des poussières contenant des produits

chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de cancer,

de malformation congénitale ou d’autres problèmes

reproductifs. Ces produits chimiques sont, par

exemple :

• Le plomb provenant des peintures à base de plomb,

• Les cristaux de silices provenant des briques et du

ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie, et

• L’arsenic et le chrome provenant des bois traités

chimiquement.

Le niveau de risque dû à cette exposition varie avec la

fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour réduire

l’exposition à ces produits chimiques, il faut travailler

dans un lieu bien ventilé et porter un équipement de

sécurité approprié tel que certains masques à poussière

conçus spécialement pour filtrer les particules

microscopiques.

AVERTISSEMENT

Chargeur de pile

Avant d'utiliser le chargeur de pile, lisez toutes les

consignes et tous les marquages d'avertissement

sur (1) le chargeur de pile, (2) le bloc-pile et (3) le

produit utilisant la pile.

N'utilisez que le chargeur qui accompagnait votre

produit ou remplacement direct, comme indiqué

dans le catalogue ou ce manuel. Ne substituez aucun

autre chargeur. N’utiliser que les chargeurs approuvés

par Skil avec votre produit. Voir Description

fonctionnelle et Spécifications.

Ne désassemblez pas le chargeur et ne l'utilisez

pas s'il a reçu un choc violent, s'il est tombé ou s'il

a été endommagé par ailleurs. Remplacez

immédiatement les cordons ou les fiches abîmés.

Un remontage incorrect ou des dommages peuvent

provoquer un incendie ou des secousses électriques.

Ne rechargez pas la pile dans un environnement

mouillé ou humide. N'exposez pas le chargeur à la

pluie ou la neige. Si le boîtier de la pile est fissuré

ou endommagé par ailleurs, ne l'insérez pas dans

le chargeur. Il pourrait y avoir un incendie ou un

court-circuit de pile.

Ne charger que des piles rechargeables approuvées

par Skil. Voir Description fonctionnelle et

Spécifications. Les autres types de piles peuvent

éclater causant ainsi des blessures et des dommages.

Chargez le bloc-pile à des températures de plus de

4 degrés C (+40°F) et de moins de 41 degrés C

(+105°F). Conservez l'outil et le bloc-pile à des

endroits où la température ne descend pas sous 4

degrés C ou ne dépasse pas 49 degrés C. Laissez le

bloc-pile revenir à la température ambiante avant

de tenter de charger. Ceci est important pour

prévenir des dommages considérables aux éléments

des piles.

Il peut y avoir une fuite de pile dans des conditions

extrêmes d'utilisation ou de température. Évitez

tout contact avec la peau et les yeux. Le liquide de

pile est caustique et pourrait causer des brûlures

chimiques aux tissus. Si le liquide vient en contact

avec la peau, lavez rapidement à l'eau savonneuse,

puis au jus de citron ou au vinaigre. Si le liquide vient

en contact avec les yeux, rincez-les à l'eau pendant au

moins 10 minutes et sollicitez des soins médicaux.

Posez le chargeur sur une surface plate

ininflammable et à distance de matériaux

inflammables lorsqu’on recharge un bloc-piles. Le

chargeur et le bloc-piles s’échauffent pendant la

charge. Le coussinet de mousse souple et autres

surfaces isolantes empêchent la circulation normale

de l’air, ce qui peut provoquer une surchauffe du

chargeur et du bloc-piles. S’il y a dégagement de

fumée ou si le boîtier fond, débranchez le chargeur

immédiatement et n’utilisez ni le chargeur, ni le bloc-

piles.

L'utilisation d'un accessoire non recommandé ni

vendu par Skil peut causer des risques d'incendie,

de chocs électriques ou de lésions corporelles.
