After Each Use
⚠WARNING
 Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the saw.
 Never touch the blade during or immediately after use. After use, the blade will be extremely hot.
Maintenance
Maintain the saw by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with
the following recommended procedures. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be
examined before it is used. Keep your tool in good repair. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. The following chart is based on a
normal operation schedule.

Failure
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Kickback
The blade is pinched or bound too
tightly. The blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator.
The blade becomes twisted or
misaligned in the cut.
Release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop.
Check the condition of the saw and
replace necessary parts.
