TRACK SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
TRACK SAW SAFETY
1. Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw
blades.
2. Only use blades with the correct size and type for both
your track saw and your workpiece.
• The rated diameter of the saw blade is 6.5 in. with
a 20mm arbor.
• The no-load speed of this saw can be adjusted be-
tween 2000 and 5500 RPM. The maximum speed
rating of your saw blade is 8000 RPM.
3. Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only use
sharp blades.
4. Install the saw blade in the correct orientation indi-
cated in the instructions.
5. Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Never
use your hands to remove sawdust, chips, or workpiece
near the saw blade or the cutting path of the saw.
6. Never reach around the saw blade or reach in back of
the saw blade.
7. Do not use blades made from high-speed steel, abra-
sive blades, metal-cutting blades, or masonry-cutting
blades. The guards of this saw are not designed to pro-
tect against the failure of such blades.
8. The use of accessories or attachments is not recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Doing so may result in a
risk of personal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Operate in a well ventilated area. Keep the floor area
around the track saw level and free of slippery substanc-
es or other tripping hazards.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles to protect your
eyes from sparks and saw dust. Use hearing protection
to protect yourself from hearing loss.
3. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to pacemakers could cause pacemaker inter-
ference or pacemaker failure.
4. Wear work gloves when handling saw blades. DO NOT
wear gloves while operating the saw.
5. Sawdust is harmful to your health. Use NIOSH-ap-
proved dust masks or other respiratory protection dur-
ing operation and cleaning.
6. Always turn off and remove the battery from the track
saw before making any adjustments or repair tasks.
Never adjust the track saw or the workpiece while the
saw is running.
7. Never use damaged or incorrect blade flanges or bolt.
The blade flanges and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance and safety of opera-
tion.
8. Do not use to cut metal, logs, tree limbs, or uneven
lumber. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and
other embedded objects prior to starting work.
9. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pres-
sure treated lumber all have an increased potential for
kickback and should only be cut with a blade specifically
designed for that lumber type. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever
cutting pressure treated lumber.
PREPARING THE TRACK SAW
1. When transporting the track saw, carry it by either the
handle or the base. Never carry the device by its guards
or its accessories. Make sure that the blade is fully cov-
ered by the blade cover and not exposed.
2. Securely slide the track saw onto the track before op-
erating.
3. Examine the track saw for any damaged or missing
parts. Replace or repair damaged parts before operation.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, and other fasten-
ers are properly tightened.

Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules.
