IMPOR TANT SAFEGUARDS People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker . WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer , birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints. • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonr y 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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. WARNING: Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. WORK AREA Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres- ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carr y the tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately .Damaged cords may create a fire. A batter y operated tool with integral batteries or a separate batter y pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the batter y.A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designatedbatter y pack. Use of any other batteries may create risk of fire.4 3
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. When batter y 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 batter y terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’ s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injur y when used on another tool. SERVICE Tool ser vice must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Ser vice or maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injur y. When ser vicing a tool, 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 shock or injur y. SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SA W NEVER assume the blade has stopped just because the trigger has been released. Blades may continue moving even after the motor stops. Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust. This saw may throw up debris that could lodge in the eyes causing severe pain or injur y. Inspect the bolts and blade washers before each use. Damaged or incorrect bolts or blade washers can cause injur y. When using the Circular Saw , always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands. Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the blade. Keep your hands well away from the blade. Never reach underneath the tool while the blade is in motion. Do not use your legs or feet to stabilize the work piece. PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat- ing 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 injur y. Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewelr y. Contain long hair . Keep your hair , clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelr y or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or “OFF” position before inserting batter y pack. Carr ying power tools with your finger on the switch or inserting batter y pack into a tool with the power switch “ON” invites accidents.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injur y. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot- ing and balance enable better 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 con- ditions. TOOL USE AND CARE Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous 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 preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. 5
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts” and “Compound Cuts.” Raise lower guard by Retracting Handle. As soon as the blade enters the material, lower guard must be released. For all other saw- ing, the lower guard should operate automatically . Always obser ve 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 the switch is released. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. 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 the cut and reduces the chance for blade binding. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) 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 bolts. The blade washers and bolts were specifically designed for your saw , for optimum per formance and safety of operation. CAUSES AND 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 work piece toward the opera tor. 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 opera tor. 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 opera tor. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given belo w: Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK for ces can be controlled by the operator , if proper precautions are taken. 8 Keep the handle of the Cordless Circular Saw dry, clean and free from oil and grease.Do not run the Cordless Circular Saw while carr ying it at your side. A moving blade could cause serious personal injur y. Disconnect batter y pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or “OFF” position before making any assembly adjustments, changing accessories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning procedures.Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally which could cause serious personal injur y. Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations. Avoid sawing overhead. Be on the lookout for hidden wires and falling debris. Do not use the Cordless Circular Saw if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow , wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Circular Saw .These carr y important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a replacement. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliar y handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the 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 “Causes and Prevention of Kickback”) . Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work. Check 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 lower guard into the open position. If saw is 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, in all angles and depths of cut. Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly , they must be ser viced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. 7
9 The batter y is not fully charged. Before first use, the batter y pack requires 3-5 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 1 hour for the batter y to be fully charged. Always switch to a fresh batter y when tool performance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life. Never over -discharge a batter y by using the tool even after tool performance has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’ s batter y by continuing to pull on the tool trigger . When tool per formance begins to diminish, stop the tool and recharge the batter y for optimal per formance. Charge batter y pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F. Store tool and batter y pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed 120°F . This is important to prevent serious damage to the batter y cells. The batter y pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to run slowly . When batter y pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another .Shorting the batter y terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or fire. REMOVING / ATTACHING BA TTER Y PACK REMOVE BA TTER Y PACK: 1. Press both release buttons on either side of the Cordless Cir cular Saw to release the batter y pack. 2. Pull battery pack free ofCordless Cir cular Saw . ATTACH BA TTER Y PACK:1. Align the raised portion of the batter y pack with the groove in the batter y com- partment of the Cordless Cir cular Saw . 2. Press the batter y pack into place. Make sure the latches are securely fastened. Do not use the Cordless Cir cular Saw if the batter y pack is not seated properly . 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 work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the work piece 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 blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow ker f 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 will cause binding and KICK- BACK.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. BA TTER Y Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instructions and cautionary markings on batter y pack, batter y charger and product using batter y. Do not incinerate the batter y pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The batter y pack can explode. Do not carr y batter y packs in aprons, pockets, or tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects. Batter y pack terminals could be short cir cuited causing damage to the batter y pack, severe burns or fire. The batter y pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and is considered to be a toxic material by the Environmental Protection Agency .Before disposing of dam- aged or worn out Ni-Cad batter y packs, check with your State Environmental Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these batter y packs, take them to your local recycling center for proper disposal, or call 1-800-CLEANUP .
