the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personalinjury.

b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personalinjuries.

c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking up

or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energizing power tools that

have the switch on invitesaccidents.

d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personalinjury.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in movingparts.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.

h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it wasdesigned.

b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

berepaired.

c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from

the power tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power toolaccidentally.

d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrainedusers.

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTUREREFERENCE.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) 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.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you

to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electricshock.

b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electricshock.

e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electricshock.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electricshock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

20V Max* 7-1/4" (184mm) Circular Saw

ENGLISH

that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking

into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardoussituation.

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used

with another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury andfire.

c ) 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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 unpredictable behavior 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 (130°C) may

causeexplosion.

g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside 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 qualified

repair person using only identical replacement

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 authorized service providers.

Safety Instructions for All Saws

CuttingProcedures

a ) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting

area and the 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.

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 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.

f ) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight

edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and

reduces the chance of blade binding.

g ) Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbor 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 operation.

Further Safety Instructions for all Saws

Kickback Causes and Related Warnings

ʵ 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;

ʵ 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;

ʵ 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 saw misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below:

a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw

and position your arms to resist kickback forces.

Position your body to either side of the blade,

but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause

the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part

of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or

dust mask if operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND

BYSTANDERS MUST ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED

SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the State

of California 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.

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.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing and

wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing

dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/

or disperse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use

NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles

away from face andbody.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing

protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)

during use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may contribute to

hearingloss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its

side on a stable surface where it will not cause

a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large

battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack

but may be easily knockedover.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught

in movingparts.

Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after

switch is released.

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions

are taken.

b ) 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.

c ) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth

are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade

binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece

as the saw is restarted.

d ) 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.

e ) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

f ) 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.

g ) Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Lower Guard Function

a ) Check the lower guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate the saw if the 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 and make sure it moves freely and does not

touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and

depths of cut.

b ) 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 build-up of debris.

c ) The lower guard may be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and

“compound cuts.” Raise the lower guard by

retracting the handle and as soon as the blade

enters the material, the lower guard must be

released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should

operate automatically.

d ) 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.

excessive temperature. Exposure to ﬁre or temperature

above 265°F (130°C) may causeexplosion.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If

battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open

eye for 15minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical

attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of

a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause

respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms

persist, seek medicalattention.

• Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark

orflame.

• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any

reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or

damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush,

drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery

pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced

with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged

battery packs should be returned to the service center

forrecycling.

Storage Recommendations

The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away

from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully

charged battery pack out of thecharger.

Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions

CRAFTSMAN chargers and battery packs are specifically

designed to worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock

orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when

disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of

damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected

to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size

(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller

the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity

of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than

18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When

using more than one extension to make up the total

length, be sure each individual extension contains at

least the minimum wire size. The following table shows

the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier

gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord

orplug–have them replaced immediately.

• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp

blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any

way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.

• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an

authorized service center when service or repair

is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of

electric shock, electrocution orfire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before

attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of

electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce

thisrisk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard

120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to

use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the

vehicularcharger.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to

get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the

battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter

the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery

pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the

battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center

for recycling.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,

charge only CRAFTSMAN rechargeable battery packs.

Other types of batteries may overheat and burst

resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger

plugged into the power supply, the charger can be

shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a

conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding

dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any

buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from

the charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from

the power supply when there is no battery pack in the

cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting toclean.

Charging a Battery

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.

2. Insert and fully seat battery pack. Green charging light(s)

will continuously blink while charging.

3. Charging is complete when the green charging light(s)

remain(s) continuously ON. Battery pack can be left in

charger or removed.

WARNING: Only charge batteries in air temperature

over 40°F (4.5°C) and below 105°F (40.5°C).

4. Charger will not charge a faulty battery pack, which may

be indicated by the charging light(s) staying OFF. Take

charger and battery pack to an authorized service center

if light(s) stay(s) OFF.

NOTE: Refer to label near charging light(s) on charger for

blink patterns.

NOTE: To remove the battery pack, some chargers require

the battery pack release button to be pressed.

Charging

Fully Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot

or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,

suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an

appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically

switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures

maximum battery packlife.

A cold battery pack may charge at a slower rate than a

warm batterypack.

The hot/cold pack delay will be indicated by the green

light(s) continuing to blink and with the red light

continuously ON or blinking. Once the battery pack has

reached an appropriate temperature, the red light will turn

OFF and the charger will resume the charging process.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection

System that will protect the battery pack against

overloading, overheating or deep discharge. The tool will

automatically turn off and the battery pack will need to be

recharged.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if

the battery pack is charged when the air temperature

is between 65°F – 75°F (18° C– 24°C). DO NOT charge

when the battery pack is below +40°F (+4.5°C), or

above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will

prevent serious damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the

touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and

does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of

the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or

battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal

shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out

the lights;

remove battery from saw before any of the following

adjustmentoperations.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack

before making any adjustments or removing/

installing attachments or accessories. An

accidental start-up can causeinjury.

Intended Use

This circular saw is design for do-it-yourself, wood-

cuttingapplications.

WARNING: Do not cut any metals, masonry, glass,

tile or plastic with this saw. A dull blade will cause

slow, inefficient cutting overload on the saw motor,

excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility

ofkickback.

• DO NOT use any abrasivewheels.

• Use only blades designed for woodcutting.

WARNING: Cutting sap coated wood, and

other materials may cause melted substances to

accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw

blade, increasing the risk of the blade overheating and

binding whilecutting.

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of

flammable liquids orgases.

DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool.

Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use

thistool.

Attaching and Removing the Blade (Fig. A, B)

Lower Blade Guard

WARNING: Laceration Hazard. The lower blade

guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of

serious personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower

guard is missing, damaged, mis-assembled or not

working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade guard

to protect you under all circumstances. Your safety

depends on following all warnings and precautions

as well as proper operation of the saw. Check lower

guard for proper closing before each use as outlined

in Further Safety Instructions for all Saws. If

the lower blade guard is missing or not working

properly, have the saw serviced before using. To assure

product safety and reliability, repair, maintenance and

adjustment should be performed by an authorized

service center or other qualified service organization,

always using identical replacementparts.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always

use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle

material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire

or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate

saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount

blade securely in proper rotation before using, and

always use a clean, sharpblade.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, It is important

to support the work properly and to hold the

saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could

cause personal injury. Figure L illustrates typical

handsupport.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, read, understand and follow all important

safety warnings and instructions prior to usingtool.

Blade Selection

Your circular saw is designed for use with 7-1/4" (184mm)

diameter blades that have a 5/8" (15.9mm) diameter bore.

Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher).

DO NOT use any abrasivewheels.

General Cuts

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, remove the

battery, and follow all assembly, adjustment and set

upinstructions.

Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for

the material to becut.

• Measure and mark work forcutting.

• Support and secure work properly (refer to Supporting

Large Panels/SecuringWorkpiece).

• Use appropriate and required safety equipment (refer to

Additional SafetyInformation).

• Secure and maintain work area (refer to Safety

Instructions for AllSaws).

• With battery inserted, make sure switch turns saw on

andoff.

Sawing

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, always hold the tool with bothhands.

• Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,

but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause

the saw to jump backwards. Refer to Further Safety

Instructions for all Saws and Kickback Causes and

Related Warnings.

• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting

thecut.

• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while

performing thecut.

• Work with the shoe pressed against theworkpiece.

Hints for Optimum Use

• As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side

of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side

where splintering isacceptable.

• Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting

laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of

theworkpiece.

Pocket Cutting (Fig. A, N)

WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised

position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket

cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the

work surface which could causeinjury.

A pocket cut is one that is made when the edge of the

material does not push the lower guard open, but the

bottom edge of the rotating blade cuts into the middle of

thematerial.

l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant à

Scie circulaire de 184mm (7-1/4po) 20V max*

CMCS551

FRANÇAIS

Consignes de sécurité propres à toutes

lesscies

Procédures de coupe

a ) DANGER : kéloigner les mains des zones et

organes de coupe. Maintenir la deuxième main

sur la poignée auxiliaire ou le boîtier du moteur.

Lorsque les deux mains maintiennent la scie, la lame

ne peut lescouper.

b ) N’essayez pas de tenir le dessous de l’ouvrage. Le

protège-lame ne peut pas vous protéger de la lame en

dessous de l'ouvrage.

c ) Ajustez la profondeur de coupe à l’épaisseur de

l’ouvrage. Moins d’une dent entière de lame devrait

être visible en dessous de l’ouvrage.

d ) Ne tenez jamais dans vos mains ou sur vos

genoux un ouvrage qui est en cours de coupe.

Fixez votre ouvrage sur une plateforme stable. Il

4) Utilisation et entretien d’un

outilélectrique

a ) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil

électrique approprié à l’application. L’outil

électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail,

de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a

étéconçu.

b ) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont

l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique

dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et

doit êtreréparé.

c ) Débranchez la fiche de la prise électrique et, si

amovible, retirez le bloc-piles de l’outil avant

d’effectuer tout ajustement, changement et

entreposage de celui-ci. Ces mesures préventives

réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de

l’outilélectrique.

d ) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée

des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne

n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou

son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils

électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains

d’utilisateursinexpérimentés.

e ) Gardez les poignées et surfaces d’emprise

propres et libres de tout produit lubrifiant.

Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou

coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent

toute autre condition susceptible de nuire au

bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En

cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique

avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup

d’accidents sont causés par des outils électriques

malentretenus.

f ) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et

propres. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés

sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus

faciles àmaîtriser.

g ) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les

forets, etc. conformément aux présentes

directives en tenant compte des conditions de

travail et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un

outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle

pour laquelle il a été conçu estdangereuse.

h ) Garder vos mains et les surfaces de prise sèches,

propres et libres de graisse et de poussière. Les

mains et les surfaces de prise glissante ne permettent

pas la manutention et le contrôle sécuritaires de l’outil

dans les situationsimprévues.

5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc-piles

a ) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur

précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur

qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de

provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type

de b loc-piles.

b ) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec

les blocs-piles conçus à cet effet. L’utilisation de

tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou

unincendie.

c ) Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir

éloigné des objets métalliques, notamment

des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des

clous, des vis ou autres petits objets métalliques

qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les

deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles

risque de provoquer des brûlures ou unincendie.

d ) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler

hors du bloc-piles; éviter tout contact avec ce

liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver

à grande eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec

les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux.

Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer

des irritations ou desbrûlures.

e ) Ne pas utiliser de bloc-piles ou outil qui

a été endommagé ou modifié. Les unités

endommagées ou modifiées peuvent avoir une

réaction imprévisible résultant en un incendie,

une explosion ou un potentiel de blessure.

f ) Ne pas exposer de bloc-piles ou l’outil aux

flammes ou à des températures excessives.

L’exposition aux flammes ou à une température

au-dessus de 129°C (265°F) pourrait causer

uneexplosion.

g ) Suivre toutes les instructions de recharge et

ne rechargez pas le bloc-piles ou l’outil à des

températures hors de la plage de température

indiquée dans les instructions. Une recharge

non conforme ou à une température hors des limites

spécifiées peut endommager les piles et augmenter le

risque d’incendie.

6) Réparation

a ) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur

professionnel en n’utilisant que des pièces de

rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir

une utilisation sécuritaire de l’outilélectriques.

b ) Ne jamais réparer des blocs-piles endommagés.

La réparation de blocs-piles doit seulement être

effectuée par le fabricant ou les fournisseurs de

serviceautorisé.

b ) En cas de coincement de la lame ou

d’interruption d'une coupe pour une raison

quelconque, relâchez la gâchette et tenez la

scie immobile dans l’ouvrage jusqu’à ce que

la lame se soit immobilisée complètement. Ne

tentez jamais de retirer la scie de l’ouvrage ou

de la tirer vers l’arrière pendant que la lame est

en mouvement, car un rebond risquerait de se

produire. Évaluez la situation et prenez les mesures

correctives nécessaires pour éliminer la cause du

coincement de la lame.

c ) Lorsque vous remettez une scie en marche quand

l’ouvrage est présent, centrez la lame de scie

dans le trait de scie et vérifiez que les dents de

la lame ne sont pas engagées dans le matériau

de l’ouvrage. Si la lame de scie se coince, elle peut

grimper hors de l’ouvrage ou rebondir sur celui-ci

quand la scie est remise en marche.

d ) Soutenez les panneaux de grande taille de façon

à minimiser le risque de pincement et de rebond

de la lame. Les panneaux de grande taille ont

tendance à s’affaisser sous leur propre poids.

Des supports doivent être placés des deux côtés sous

le panneau, à proximité de la ligne de coupe et à

proximité du rebord du panneau.

e ) N’utilisez pas de lame émoussée ou

endommagée. Des lames non aiguisées ou mal

installées produisent un trait de scie étroit qui cause

une friction excessive, le coincement de la lame et un

effet de rebond.

f ) Les leviers de réglage de la profondeur et de

l’angle de coupe de la lame doivent être bien

serrés et assujettis avant de réaliser une coupe.

Une modification du réglage de la lame pendant

la coupe risque d’entraîner un coincement et un

rebondissement de la lame.

g ) Procédez avec une prudence supplémentaire

quand vous réalisez une « coupe en plongée »

dans des murs déjà en place ou dans des pièces

sans issue. La lame saillante peut couper des objets,

et ceci peut entraîner un rebond.

Directives de sécurité propres au

fonctionnement du carter inférieur

a ) Inspectez le protège-lame inférieur avant chaque

utilisation pour vous assurer qu’il se ferme

correctement. Ne faites pas fonctionner la scie

si le protège-lame inférieur ne se déplace pas

librement et ne se ferme pas instantanément. Ne

forcez jamais le protège-lame inférieur dans la

position ouverte à l’aide d’un collier de serrage

ou d’une attache. Il est possible que le protège-lame

inférieur se torde en cas de chute accidentelle de la

scie. Soulevez le protège-lame inférieur à l’aide de la

poignée rétractable et assurez-vous qu’il se déplace

sans problème et qu’il ne touche pas la lame ou une

autre pièce, quel que soit l’angle ou la profondeur de

la coupe.

est important de soutenir correctement l’ouvrage afin

de minimiser l’exposition du corps à la lame, le risque

de coincement de la lame ou la perte de contrôle

del’outil.

e ) Tenez l’outil électrique par ses surfaces de

préhension isolantes quand vous réalisez une

opération au cours de laquelle l’outil de coupe

pourrait entrer en contact avec des câbles

dissimulés. Le contact avec un fil sous tension mettra

également sous tension toutes les pièces métalliques

exposées et donnera un choc électrique à l’utilisateur

de l’outil.

f ) Pendant les coupes de refente, utilisez toujours

un guide de refente ou un guide à bord droit. Ceci

augmente toujours l’exactitude de la coupe et diminue

la possibilité de coincement de la lame.

g ) Utilisez toujours des lames dont l’alésage central

est de la taille et de la forme appropriées (soit

en forme de diamant, soit en forme de rond).

Les lames qui ne correspondent pas aux pièces de

montage de la cie tourneront de façon excentrique, ce

qui causera une perte de contrôle de l’outil.

h ) Ne vous servez jamais de rondelles ou de boulons

de lames qui sont endommagés ou inappropriés.

Les rondelles et le boulon de lame ont été conçus

spécifiquement pour votre scie dans le but d'assurer

une performance optimale et un fonctionnement

sansdanger.

Consignes additionnelles de sécurité

propres à toutes les scies

Causes des rebonds et méthodes de

prévention pouvant être utilisées par

l’utilisateur

ʵ Le rebond est une réaction subite (causée par une

lame de scie pincée, coincée ou mal alignée) qui peut

entraîner le soulèvement d’une scie non contrôlée,

sa sortie de l’ouvrage et sa projection en direction

del'utilisateur.

ʵ Si la lame est pincée ou coincée fortement pendant

l’abaissement de la scie, la lame se cale et le moteur

réagit en entraînant rapidement l’outil vers l’arrière

dans la direction de l’opérateur.

ʵ Si la lame se tord ou perd son alignement correct au

cours de la coupe, les dents sur le bord arrière de la

lame peuvent entamer la surface supérieure du bois,

forçant ainsi la lame à sortir du trait de scie et à «

sauter » vers l’arrière en direction de l’opérateur.

Le rebond est la conséquence d’une mauvaise utilisation de

la scie et/ou de procédures ou de conditions incorrectes, et

il peut être évité en prenant les précautions qui sont décrites

ci-dessous :

a ) Maintenez fermement la scie avec vos deux

mains et positionnez vos bras de façon à résister

aux forces de rebond. Les forces de rebond peuvent

être contrôlées par l’utilisateur quand les précautions

appropriées sont prises.
