GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-

ure 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 atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, 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.

Use battery only with charger listed.

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.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn

into air vents.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-

port 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 adjust-

ments, 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.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind 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.

Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-

ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based

products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol-

lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and

deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

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.

 DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and

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.

 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” later.)

 Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot

protect you from the blade below the work.

 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 with the

retracting handle. 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 and condition 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.

 Lower guard should be retracted manually only for

special cuts, such as "Pocket Cuts" and "Compound

Cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle. 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 insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a

“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”

and shock the operator.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by

unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

 When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces

the chance for blade binding.

 Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. 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 bolts. The blade washers and bolts were specially

designed for the saw for optimum performance and safety

of operation.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF

KICKBACK:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or mis-

aligned 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 clos-

ing 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 a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operat-

ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below:

Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body

and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK

forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the opera-

tor, 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 actions to eliminate the cause of blade

binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the

saw blade in the kerf and check that 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.

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 fol-

low Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock

or injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 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.

 Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or

improperly set blades produce narrow kerf which causes

excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.

 Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade

adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and

KICKBACK.

 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

Know your power tool. Read operator's manual care-

fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well

as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious injury.

 Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday

glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT

safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

eye injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have

repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.

Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Check damaged parts. Before further use of the

tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condi-

tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced by an authorized service center. Following

this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious

injury.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while

under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medica-

tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-

trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating

condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not

using your battery tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious personal injury.

 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-

sibly injury.

 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product

in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water

immediately.

 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

 For best results, your battery tool should be charged

in a location where the temperature is more than

50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in

vehicles.

 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact

with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,

then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid

gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for

at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical at-

tention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious

personal injury.

 If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service

center to avoid risk.

CORRECT

SUPPORT

KICKBACK - BLADE SET TOO DEEP

CORRECT BLADE DEPTH SETTING = BLADE EXPOSED 1/4 in.

(6.35 mm) OR LESS ON UNDERSIDE OF WORKPIECE

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. There-

fore, switch should always be locked when not in use or

carrying at your side.

KICKBACK

See Figures 5 - 8.

Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw

is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any

action which pinches the blade in the wood.

DANGER:

Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.

Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss

of control can lead to serious injury.

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such

as the following.

Setting blade depth incorrectly.

Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.

Twisting the blade while making a cut.

Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set

blade.

Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.

Forcing a cut.

Cutting warped or wet lumber.

Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.

To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety prac-

tices.

Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth

setting should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being

cut.

Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.

Never saw into a knot or nail.

Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide

when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.

Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make

cuts with dull blades.

Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.

Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never

force a cut.

Do not cut warped or wet lumber.

Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body

in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback

should occur.

WARNING:

When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise con-

trol. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the

blade is moving.

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not

kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will

place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of

kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades

are always available.

Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw

down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum and

pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these ac-

cumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

See Figure 9.

The lower blade guard attached to your circular saw is there

for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason.

If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you

have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in

operating position when using the saw.

DANGER:

When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not

cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is

exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers

away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in

contact with moving blade will result in serious injury.

CAUTION:

Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly.

Check the guard for correct operation before each use.

The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and

readily returns to the closed position. If you drop the saw,

check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at

all depth settings before reuse.

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW

See Figure 10.

To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.

Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw

into the workpiece.

WARNING:

The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before

it reaches full speed could cause the saw to “kickback”

towards you resulting in serious injury.

To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.

After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come

to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the

workpiece while the blade is moving.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

See Figure 10.

The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental

starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above

the switch trigger. The lock-off button must be depressed

before you pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time

the trigger is released.

NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the

left or right side.

OPERATION

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

See Figure 11.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade

depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below

the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the

chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For

more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper

blade guard.

 Loosen the depth adjustment knob.

 Determine the desired depth of cut.

 Locate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper

blade guard.

 Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or

lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns

with the notch on the blade guard.

 Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely.

USING THE LASER GUIDE

See Figure 12.

WARNING:

Do not stare into the laser beam or turn the laser on when

the tool is not in use. Failure to heed this warning could

result in possible serious personal injury. The laser unit

comes from the factory already installed and aligned.

If the laser becomes misaligned after time refer to the

"Adjustments" section.

NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap to ensure laser

is aligned. Adjusting the laser may be necessary.

 Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.

 Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.

 Switch on the laser beam.

 Install the battery pack into the tool and start the mo-

tor.

NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the

saw has reached maximum speed.

 Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.

NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the

workpiece for precision cutting.

 Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a

complete stop before turning off the laser.

OPERATION

OPERATING THE SAW

See Figures 13 - 15.

It is important to understand the correct method for operat-

ing the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the

correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.

WARNING:

To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper

control of the saw. Loss of control could cause an ac-

cident resulting in possible serious injury.

DANGER:

When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is

exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade

guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed

before setting the saw down.

To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.

 Hold the saw firmly with both hands.

 Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making

a cut.

 Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to

your side.

 Support the workpiece near the cut.

 Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will

not move during the cut.

 Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported,

not the “cut off” piece.

 Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.

 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before

beginning your cut.

CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING

See Figure 16.

When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with

the outer blade guide notch on the base.

Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap

material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you

must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.

NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is

the amount you should offset the guide.

RIP CUTTING

See Figure 17.

Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the

saw.

 Secure the workpiece.

 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using

C-clamps.

 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip

cut.

NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.

WIDTH OF CUT SCALE

See Figure 18.

A width of cut scale has been provided on the base of your

saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale

can be used to measure up to four inches to the right side

of the blade. It can be used to measure up to one inch to

the left side of the blade.

See Figures 19 - 21.

 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on

the base when making 45° bevel cuts.

 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to

determine how much you should offset the guideline on

the cutting material.

 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between

zero and 51.5°. Refer to “Adjusting the Bevel Setting”

next.

NOTE: When making bevel cuts, you may need to re-adjust

the laser. (See “Adjusting the Laser.”)

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING

See Figure 20.

 Loosen the bevel adjustment knob.

 Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach

the desired angle setting on the bevel scale.

 Tighten the bevel adjustment knob securely.

WARNING:

ing the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 22.

WARNING:

Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a

pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting

can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing

serious injury.

 Adjust the bevel setting to zero.

 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.

 Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade

guard handle.

NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle

to avoid serious injury.

 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.

 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with

the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch

the workpiece.

 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.

 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.

WARNING:

Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting.

Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to

climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
