OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Wear hearing protec-
tion.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
ALWAYS lock-out the trigger
when the tool is not in use.
Insert a standard padlock or
zip tie behind the switch to
prevent starting by untrained
users.
ALWAYS make sure your
workpiece is not in contact
with the blade before start the
tool. Workpiece contact may
cause the workpiece to be kicked back toward
the operator and result in serious personal injury.
Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow
hands to come closer than 3" to the blade. Do
not reach over or across the blade. Contact with
the blade can result in serious personal injury.
Ensure the saw is on a stable, level surface
before use.
Causes of Kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or binds,
kicking the workpiece back toward you with great
force and speed. If your hands are near the saw
blade, they may be jerked loose from the workpiece
and may contact the blade. Obviously, kickback
can cause serious injury, and it is well worth using
precautions to avoid the risks.
Kickback can be caused by any action that pinches
the blade in the wood such as:
• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth
• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece
• Twisting the wood while making a cut
• Failing to support work
• Forcing a cut
• Cutting warped or wet lumber
• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut
• Not following correct operating procedures
• Misusing the saw
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improperly set blade
Avoiding Kickback
• Always use the correct blade depth setting. The
top of the blade teeth should clear the workpiece
by 1/8" to 1/4".
1/8" - 1/4"
• Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning
a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer.
Never saw into a loose knot or nail.
• Always use the rip fence when rip cutting. Use the
miter gauge when cross cutting. This helps prevent
twisting the wood in the cut.
• Always use clean, sharp, and properly-set blades.
Never make cuts with dull blades.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the work prop-
erly before beginning a cut.
• When making a cut, use steady, even pressure.
Never force cuts.
• Do not cut wet or warped lumber.
• Use extra caution when cutting some prenished
or composition wood products as the anti-kickback
pawls may not always be eective.
• Always guide your workpiece with both hands or
with push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your
body in a balanced position to be ready to resist
kickback should it occur. Never stand directly in
line with the blade.
• Use of a featherboard will help hold the workpiece
securely against the saw table or fence.
• Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate,
and any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces
may gather.
• Use the right type of blade for the cut being made.
• Always use the riving knife for every operation where
it is allowed. The use of this device will greatly re-
duce the risk of kickback.
Turning Saw ON/OFF
WARNING
Carefully check and lock all adjust-
ments, and rotate the blade one full
revolution to assure proper clearance before
inserting the battery pack. Improper blade clear-
ance and loose adjustments can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
When making a cross cut, make
sure the blade guard is installed
and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. Wear hearing protection and
respiratory protection.
Remove zip tie before rst use.
1. Check all adjustments.
2. Insert the battery pack.
3. Line up the workpiece, but do not make contact
with the blade. NOTE: When using the riving knife
with guard, the guard legs can be raised to line up
the cut, but must be lowered to contact the table
top before starting the saw.
4. To turn the saw ON, lift the switch cover and then
lift the switch.
5. To turn the saw OFF, press the switch cover down.
