SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

CUTTING PROCEDURES A. /\ DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. fboth hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. B. 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. D. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. lt is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. E. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a «live» wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the power tool «live» and could give the operator an electric shock. F. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. G. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. H.Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS

+ Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed 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 jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; - Ifthe 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. KICKBACK IS THE RESULT OF SAW MISUSE AND/OR INCORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES OR CONDITIONS AND CAN BE AVOIDED BY TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS GIVEN BELOW. A. 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 use the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

B.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 and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. €. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. |f a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. D. Support large panels to minimise 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 ofthe panel. E. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. F. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. G.Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

A. Check the lower guard for proper dosing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and dose instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. lfthe saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in

all angles and depths of cut. B. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. Ifthe guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. C. The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as“plunge cuts”and“compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. D. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAW Z\ WARNING: Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. Do not use water feed attachments. A. Use camps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. B. Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but not in line With the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. C. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. D. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. À WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: + Lead from lead-based paints, + Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, + Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. + Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: - Work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. + Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective dothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. DUST EXTRACTION À dust extraction port is supplied with your tool. Always use a vacuum extractor designed in compliance with the applicable. Directives regarding dust emission when sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust extraction spout. À WARNING: When not in use, place circular saw on a stable surface, shoe side down, where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over. LASER FUNCTION

The lock resets each time the trigger is released. NOTE: Vou can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side. SWITCH TRIGGER To turn the grinder ON, depress and hold lock-off button, then depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger. KICKBACK 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. VAN DANGER: Release switch immediately ifblade 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: Set blade depth incorrectly. Saw into knots or nails in workpiece. Twist the blade while making a cut. Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set blade. Support the workpiece incorrectly. Force a cut. Cut 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. Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.

Never saw into a knot or nail. Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade. Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades. Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut. Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never force a cut. Do not cut warped or wet lumber. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in à balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback should occur. À WARNING: When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving. SAW BLADES The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using à dull blade will place à heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades are always available. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these accumulations. Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool. DO NOT USE GASOLINE. Only use DEXTERS blade diameter(s) in accordance with the chart below. Diameter Teeth 190mm 24

The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in operating position when using the saw. VAN DANGER: When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with moving blade will result in serious injury.

À caurion: Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly. Check the quard for correct operation before each use. The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to the dosed position. If you drop the saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth settings before reuse.

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW

This saw is equipped with a worklight that will turn on when the trigger is depressed and will turn off when the trigger is released. To start the saw: Depress the lock-off button. Depress the switch trigger. Always let the blade reach full speed, and then guide the saw into the workpiece. AN WARNING: The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could ause the saw to” kickback "towards you resulting in serious injury. To start the saw: Release the switch trigger. After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH

Always keeps correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed between 1/4in.(6.35mm) and 2.56in.(65mm) below the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard. Loosen the depth lock lever by lifting it upward away from the base. Determine the desired depth of cut. Locate the depth of edge guide fence on the back of the upper blade guard. Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with the notch on the blade guard. Tighten the depth lock lever securely by pushing it downward toward the base.

Itis important to learn the correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.

To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints: Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut. Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to your side. Support the workpiece near the cut. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure the workpiece so that the workpiece will not move during the cut. Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before beginning your cut.

CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING

When making a straight cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with the 0° blade guide notch on the base. Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along à guideline to determine how much, if any, you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut. NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is the amount you should offset the guide. RIP CUTTING Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw. Secure the workpiece. Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps. Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut. NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut. BEVEL CUTTING Adjust the angle ofthe cut to any desired setting between 0 ° and 45°. Ifmaking à 45° bevel cut, align the line of cut with the 45° blade guide notch on the base. Make à trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on the cutting material.

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL SETTING

Loosen the bevel adjusting knob. Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach the desired angle setting on the bevel scale. Tighten the bevel adjusting knob securely. A WARNING: Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob securely tightened can result in serious injury.

Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed. Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut. Release the switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Lift the saw from the workpiece. POCKET CUTTING A WARNING: Always adjust bevel setting to 0° before making a pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting can result inloss of control ofthe saw possibly causing serious injury. Adjust the bevel setting to 0°. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting. Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade guard handle. NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury. Hold the lower blade guard by the handle while keeping your hand on the front handle. Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch the workpiece. Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed. Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut. VAN WARNING: Always cut in à forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to dimb up on the workpiece and back toward you. Release the switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Lift the saw from the workpiece.

The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It is parallel with the saw blade and can be used to measure the distance into the material the blade cuts. NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is set at full maximum depth.

OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE FENCE

To assemble edge guide fence: Remove the battery. Place edge guide fence through slots in base. Adjust edge guide fence to the width needed. Tighten edge guide lock knob securely To use edge guide fence: Secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Position the face ofthe edge guide fence firmly against the edge of workpiece.

Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip cut. NOTE: The guiding edge fence of the workpiece must be straight for the cut to be straight. Use aution to prevent the blade from binding in the cut.

OPTIONAL DUST EXTRACTION PORT

You have to use the dust extraction port before using the circular saw. The adaptor fits over the dust chute which is located on the upper blade guard. The dust extraction port attaches to the adaptor. NOTE: If you use the dust extraction port, you should always connect it to a standard vacuum hose and wear à dust mask yourself. To attach dust extraction port: Remove the battery. Lift lower blade guard. Orient adaptor to fit into the dust chute opening on upper blade guard. Secure adaptor with screw provided. Align hole in the dust extraction port with raised lip on adaptor and snap into place when using a vacuum hose.
