GENERAL SAFETY RULES

⚠ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 chemicals: 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.

⚠ WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection and heavy duty gloves. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury in an unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control the tool.
• Never use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product on this power tool. This could lead to unsafe conditions and personal injury.

TOOL USE AND CARE

- Secure the workpiece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don't force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause personal injury.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is dangerous in the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool's operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator's manual for recommended accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into the blade, against the direction of the cutting tool's direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the workpiece.

WARNING: USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DEBRIS, DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING METAL CHIPS, WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

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.
• Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the

required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DRY CUT METAL SAWS

WARNING: DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT NED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY ES. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!

- Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

DANGER! Never cut hardened steel materials. This tool is designed to cut mild steel and wood. Do not attempt to cut masonry, hardened or heat treated steel, rebar, stainless steel, magnesium of any other pyrophoric material with this tool.

DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and 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. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK”) Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.

• NEVER use a dull of damaged blade. Inspect blade for damage and wear frequently as a dull or damaged blade could lead to jump backwards and cause personal injury.
• Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand, then release and watch guard closure. Also check to see that Retracting Lever does not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personal injury.

• Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the 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 buildup of debris.

• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing 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.

• NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
• 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.
* KICKBACK is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures of conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. 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 and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, 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 will cause binding and KICKBACK.

• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• When operating the tool from an elevated position, be aware of people or things beneath you.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hands before switching the tool "ON". The reaction to the torque of the motor as it accelerates to full speed may cause the tool to twist.
• Wear eye, heavy duty gloves, and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields. Unless otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses. Use only certified safety equipment; eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards. Protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of personal injury.

WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool.

WARNING: 4-3/4" is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards. Either situation could result in a serious accident.

BLADE INSTALLATION (FIG 2)

• Unplug your saw.
  • Depress the spindle lock (14).
• Using the blade wrench provided, remove the blade bolt (5) by turning it clockwise.
• Remove the outer blade flange washer (6).
• Lift the lower guard (3) and slide the blade onto the spindle. The saw teeth point upward at the front of the saw.
• Replace the outer flange washer.
• Depress the spindle lock and replace the blade bolt.
• Tighten the blade bolt securely by turning it counterclockwise with the wrench.

REMOVING THE BLADE (FIG 3)

• Unplug your saw.
• Depress the spindle lock (14).
• Remove the blade bolt by turning it clockwise with the wrench provided.
• Remove the outer flange washer (6).
• Lift the lower blade guard (3).

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG 4)

• Unplug your saw.
• Loosen the depth clamp lever (15) on the depth guide.
• Move the base up or down to the desired depth as indicated on the depth of cut scale.
  OR
• Raise the lower blade guard and place the saw base on the workpiece to be cut with the saw blade positioned against the edge. Hold the saw base down on the workpiece surface,
• Secure the base by tightening the lever.

then raise or lower the motor housing to obtain the desired depth of cut using the workpiece edge as a reference.

FIG 4 15

NOTE: Always maintain the correct blade depth setting. For all cuts the blade depth should not exceed 1/4" below the material being cut. Excessive blade depth increases the chance of saw KICKBACK.

LINE-OF-CUT INDICATOR (FIG 5)

• Line-of-cut indicator V-notch (1a) is provided at the front of the saw base.
  • Use the V-notch to follow a line.
• Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts in scrap material, along a guideline, to determine proper alignment of the guideline within the V-notch to obtain an accurate cut.

INSTALLING THE RIP GUIDE (FIG 5)

When cutting material across the width you are cross cutting. Cutting material along it's length is "ripping" or a rip cut. Since rip cuts tend to be lengthy it can be difficult to accurately follow the guideline the entire distance of the cut. To assist the operator to obtain a straight rip cut, a straight edge can be clamped to the workpiece or the supplied rip guide can be used. To install the rip guide on your saw, perform the following steps.

• Unplug your circular saw.
- Insert the rip guide through the two slots on the saw base at the front of the saw, starting with slot in the left side edge of the base.
- Slide the guide through the slots until it extends out the right side of the base.

- Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and then securely tighten the locking screw (17) to secure the rip guide in position.

1a 17 FIG 5

WARNING: To avoid personal injury and damage to the workpiece, extend the rip guide through both slots on the base and securely tighten with the locking screw.

OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW

WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is switched off. Accidentally starting the saw could cause personal injury.

To Start the Saw, depress and hold the Lock-Off Button, then depress the trigger switch.

NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the workpiece.

WARNING: The blade coming into contact with the workpiece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KICK BACK towards you resulting in serious personal injury.

To Stop the Saw, release the trigger switch. Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: Do not remove your saw from the workpiece while the blade is still moving.

TO EMPTY CHIP COLLECTION CHAMBER (FIG 6)

The dry metal cutting saw is equipped with a built-in chip collector. This collector must be emptied as the storage area fills with debris. The chip collector viewing window also operates as a door to empty debris.

• Make sure the saw unplugged.
- Pull downward at the top of the viewing area to open the debris door (7) and empty the holding area.
- Lift the door upwards and snap it back into place.

CAUTION: To make sawing easier and safer, be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous KICKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.

It's important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and incorrect ways for handling your saw. Equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the workpiece and work area prior to making the first cut with the saw.

• Hold the tool firmly.
• Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut.
• Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.
• Set-up and support the workpiece so the cut is always on your right so the larger left side of the saw's base will be on the part that DOES NOT fall off when the cut is made.
• Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move during the cut.
• Place a clamp near the cut to further support the workpiece.
• Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before starting your saw or the cut.
• Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the workpiece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting.

DANGER!: If, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the workpiece or other object during a cut, release the trigger switch immediately. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.

CROSS-CUTTING AND RIP CUTTING

When cutting material across the width you are cross cutting. Cutting material along it's length is “ripping” or a rip cut. Both types of cuts are performed in the same manner with the exception of the methods used to support and secure the workpiece for cutting. After you have secured the workpiece in position with clamps or similar devices, prepared the work area, position-the cord so it won't be cut or become hung up, performed the saw set up adjustments, make the necessary measurements, drawn a straight guideline, and put on your eye protection and gloves, you can begin the cutting operation.

• Hold the tool firmly.
• Set the front portion of the saw's base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Align the line-of-cut indicator notch on the right side of the base with your guideline.
• Turn the saw on by depressing and hold the lock off button. While holding the lock off button inward, pull the trigger switch and wait until the blade reaches full speed.
• Ease the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly while following your guideline, until sawing is completed.
• Release the trigger switch. Wait for the blade to completely stop. Check that the lower guard has returned to position surrounding the blade. Now you can safely remove the saw from the workpiece and set it down out of the way.
• To achieve clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and speed of advance uniform.
• If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous KICKBACK and possible serious injury. Instead, release the trigger switch, wait for the blade to stop, and then remove the tool. Realign saw on a new cut guideline and start the cut again.
• Avoid positioning yourself so that you're in the path of debris chips and wood dust being ejected from the saw.

⚠ WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.

MAINTENANCE
