alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattentionwhile
operatingpower toolsmay result inseriouspersonar
injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Looseclothes,
jeweJry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch isin the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-
ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys orwrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrenchora keythat isleftattached toa
rotating part of thetool may resultinpersonar injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Properfooting and balance enablebetter
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by handor againstyour body isunstableand
may lead to lossofcontrol.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-
plication. The correct tool will do the iob better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not usetool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools aredangerousinthe hands
of untrainedusers.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control,
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and anyother condition that
may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using.Many accidentsare
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one toolmay create a risk of injurywhen
usedon anothertool.
• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oiland grease. Always use a cleanclothwhen
cleaning.Never usebrake fluids, gasoline,petroleum-
based products,or anystrong solvents to cleanyour
tool. Followingthisrule will reducethe risk of loss of
controland deterioration of theenclosureplastic.
• Useonlyaccessoriesthatarerecommendedbythe
manufacturerfor your model. Accessoriesthatmay
besuitable for onetool may create a riskof injurywhen
used on another tool.
• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
II Tool service must be performed only byqualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicinga tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Useof unauthorized partsor
failure tofollow Maintenanceinstructions may createa
risk of shock or injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wirewill also make exposedmetal parts ofthe tool
"live" and shock the operator.
• DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle
or motor housing, if both handsare holdingthe 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 KICK-
BACK)
• Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can-
not protect you from the blade below the work.
• Check the 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 intothe open position, ifsawis
accidentally dropped, 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, inall angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation and condition ofthe 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 dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
• Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and "Com-
pound Cuts". Raise lower guard by Retracting
Handle. As soon as blade enters the material, lower
guard must be released. Forall othersawing,the
lower guard should operate automatically.
• 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 handsor
across your leg. It isimportantto support the work
properlyto minimize bodyexposure,blade binding, or
loss of control.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hiddenwiring, Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Bladesthatdo not
matchthemounting hardware of thesaw willrun ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolts. The bladewashers 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 andjump back toward the operator.
Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect op-
erating procedures or 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. KICKBACKforces can be con-
trolledby the operator,ifproper precautions are taken.
• When blade isbinding, 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. Investi-
gate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause
of-blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the ken' and check that teeth are not
engaged into the material, if saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece asthe
saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag
under their ownweight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the lineof cut and
near the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blade. 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 end secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, itwill cause binding
and KICKBACK.
• Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
Laser Guide Warnings:
The laserguide radiation used inthe Craftsman trim saw is
Class Iliawith maximum <5mW and 650nm wavelengths or
ClassIlwithmaximum<1 mWand650nmwavelengths.These
lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although
staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
• Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.
• The laser shaJfbe used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Never aim the beam at a person or object other than
the workpiece.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflective
sheet metal or similar shiny materials are not suitable
for laser use.
• All repairs should be made by an authorized service
representative or the laser manufacturer.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it until the green LEDon the front of the
charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged, Allow several cycles (operation followed
by recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CAUTION I
0o not use any DC to AC power
]nverters. Charger will be Damaged!
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the
green LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to
reach normal temperature, then the red LEDwill come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Sears Repair Centerfor
electrical check.

KICKBACK
See Figures 8- 11.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back toward you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
,_, DANGER: Release switch immediately if blade
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:
• Setting blade depth incorrectly.
n Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.
• Twisting the blade while making a cut.
• Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade.
• Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
• Forcing a cut.
• Cutting warped or wet lumber.
• Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
• Keepbladeatthecorrectdepthsetting. Thedepthsetting
should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut.
• 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 keepyour body
in a balanced position so asto resisttheforces if kickback
should occur.
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 a dull blade
will place a heavy load on the saw and increase the dan-
ger 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. OO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 12.
The lower blade guard attached to the trim 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
havethe guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard
in operating position when using the saw.
_lL 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.
_, CAUTION: Never use saw when guard is not
operating correctly. Check the guard for correct
operation before each use. The guard is operating
correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to
the closed position. If you drop the saw, check the
lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all
depth settings before reuse.

blade depth setting for all cuts should net exceed 1/4 in.
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.
• Remove battery pack from saw.
• Loosen depth adjustment knob.
• Determine the desired depth of cut.
• Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade
guard.
• Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns with
notch on blade guard.
• Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 15
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or
turn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal
injury. The laser unit comes from the factory al-
ready installed and aligned. Ifthe laser becomes
misaligned after time referto the "Adjustments"
section.
NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap material
to ensure laser is aligned; adjusting the Fasermay be
necessary.
• Remove battery pack from saw
• Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.
• Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.
• Switch on the laser beam.
