Technical Data
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders 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 adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 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 earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
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 or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are 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 personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power
source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
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.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.

Lower Guard Safety Instructions
a)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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 versus round) of 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 bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncon-
trolled 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.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but 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 saw 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 may cause binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the 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

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
Check the operation 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.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the materi-
al, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade, but not in line with the saw blade.
KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards (see Causes and Operator Prevention of
Kickback and KICKBACK).
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
Always make sure nothing interferes with the movement of the lower blade guard.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels
and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Accessory ratings
must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.
Always make sure the saw is clean before using.
Stop using this saw and have it properly serviced if any unusual noise or abnormal operation
occurs.
Always be sure all components are mounted properly and securely before using tool.
Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or removing it or when removing the
diamond knockout.
Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting a cut.
Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold the tool firmly with both hands
when in use.
Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Always be sure
of position of your hands relative to the blade.
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy.
Serious personal injury may result.
Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3).
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
Lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.

●
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure
The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel and shall be prevented from being
directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective surfaces. I.e. wood
or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not
suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
Do not change the laser light assembly with a different type. Repairs must be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or an authorized agent.
