OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from the tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hardwood)
WARNING:
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels of any kind with this
saw. Use of non wood cutting blades can result in prop-
erty damage or serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 12.
 Place the battery pack in the saw. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove inside the saw, then
slide the battery pack into the saw.

Make sure the latches on each side of your battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
saw before beginning operation.
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 12.

Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
depress them to release the battery pack from the saw.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock
the switch when not in use or carrying at your side,
when installing or removing the battery pack, and when
installing or removing blades.
KICKBACK
See Figures 4 - 7, pages 12 and 13.
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
practices:

Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth
setting should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being
cut.
