When restarting a saw in the 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.
•
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
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
RULES
FOR SAFE OPERATION
•
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. 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

IMPORTANT
RULES
FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
•
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical 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 possibly injury.
•
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 imme-
diately.
•
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 condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid
comes in contact with your skin, wash immedi-
ately 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 atten-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
•
Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is
subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped battery immediately.
Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
