GENERAL SAFETY RULES ELECTRICAL SAFETY • Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your tool.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES PERSONAL SAFETY • Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. • 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.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES SERVICE • Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. Contact Customer Service for information for repairs. • When servicing a tool, always use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES HOW TO AVOID KICKBACK Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, causing the saw to lift up and out of the workpiece and 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 workpiece causing the blade to kickback.

Learn the applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. • Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using this saw.
