Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
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 aif possible connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
causeburns or a fire.
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.
SERVICE
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.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction
manual.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthor-ized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructionsmay create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
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.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. 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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
whenperforming an operation where the cutting tool
maycontact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
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 willrun
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were speciallydesigned
for your saw for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorizedservice center to avoid risk.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF
KICKBACK:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or
misaligned 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
closing 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.

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions, as given below:
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 be controlled by
the operator, 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 if it may
walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted
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. Investigate if 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 blades. 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 “plunge cut” into
