5. Store idle tools out of reach of children or other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Some accessories suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Please check all accessories to be used are suitable.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Warning: Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade. NEVER place your hands behind the saw
blade since kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards over your hand. Keep your body
positioned to either side of the saw blade.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. If the saw is accidentally dropped,
the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the lower guard lever and make
sure it can move freely and does not touch the blade or any other parts in all angles and
depths of cutting. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move and close freely.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
2. 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.
3. 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.
