RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or
straight edge guide when ripping.
SUPPORT LARGE PANELS, To minimize the
risk of blade pinching and kickback, always
support large panels as shown in figure 9, page
10. When cutting operation requires the resting
of the caw on the workpiece, the saw should be
rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece
cut off.
• LOWER BLADE GUARD.
_, WARNING: If lower blade guard must be raised
to make a cut, always raise it with the retracting
handle to avoid serious injury. See Figure 21,
Page 15.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs
when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back
towards the operator. Release switch immedi-
ately if blade binds or saw stalls. Don't remove
saw from work during a cut while the blade is
moving. See Pages 9 and 10.
fP
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE THE
DEPTH AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS ARE
TIGHT.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade
washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect.
The maximum blade capacity of your saw is
7-1/4 inches.
AVOID CuI-rlNG NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
NEVER touch the blade or other moving parts
during use.
NEVER start a tool when its rotating component
is in contact with the workpiece.
A
NEVER lay a tool down before its moving parts
have come to a complete stop.
DO NOT operate this tool while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the riskof
electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one
blade iswider 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 itstill
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• meadfrom lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• 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.

_k WARNING:
The operation of any circular saw can result in foreign objects being thrown Into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation,
always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield
