General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warningS and inStructionS
for future reference
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 o r moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) 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 energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
English
7
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) 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
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) 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 burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for All Saws
a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c) 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.
d) 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 minimise body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power 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 power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
h) 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.
Further Safety Instructions for All
Saws
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;
English
8
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.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre 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.
d) Support large panels to minimise 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
f) 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.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower Guard Safety Instructions
a) 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 handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b) 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 build-up of debris.
c) 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 material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d) 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.
NOTE: Although the above information references
wood, this saw is only to be used to cut metal.
Kickback can occur when cutting metal.
Additional Specific Safety
Instructions for Circular Saws
• Do not use abrasive wheels or blades.
• Do not use water feed attachments.
• Do not attempt to cut stainless steel, rebar,
hardened or heat-treated steel, cast iron,
masonry or unknown materials
• 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).

physical, sensory or mental abilities; lack of
experience, knowledge or skills unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should never be left alone with
this product.
WARNING: Do not plunge cut or
pocket cut with this saw
WINDOW (FIG. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate the
saw with a damaged or missing
sight window. If window is damaged
or missing, have the saw serviced at
an authorised service centre. If saw is
operated without the window, metal
chips could fly through the guard and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use oil or cutting
fluids with the metal-cutting saw.
Do not use cleaning fluids to clean
window. Cleaning fluids, cutting
fluids or oils could harm the plastic in
the window, interfering with the safe
operation of the saw.
The saw is equipped with a sight window (j) on the
side of the upper guard. This window allows the
user to see a cutting line on the material to be cut.
SAW SHOE (FIG. 1)
The front of the saw shoe (k) has a kerf indicator
(e) that allows the operator to glide the saw along
cutting lines. Aligning the cutting line with the notch
on the front of the shoe and centering it using the
modified V-shaped kerf indicator allows the operator
to keep the blade in line with the cutting line. If the
cutting line is visible through the narrowest part of
the kerf indicator, the blade will pass directly over the
cutting line.
WORKLIGHT
The saw is equipped with a worklight that is
activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
The light will automatically turn off 20 seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch
remains depressed, the worklight will remain on.

is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.
Trigger Switch (fig. 1)
WARNING: This tool has no provision
to lock the trigger switch in the ON
position and should never be locked ON
by any other means.
The saw is controlled by a trigger switch (a) and
lock-off button (b). The lock-off button must be
pressed before the trigger switch will turn the saw
on. Releasing the trigger turns the saw off.
Changing Blades (fig. 1, 5–7)
TO INSTALL THE BLADE
1. Place inner clamp washer (q) on saw spindle (s)
with the large flat surface facing out toward the
blade (fig.5, 6).
2. Retract the lower blade guard (g) and place
blade (t) on saw spindle against the inner
clamp washer (q), making sure that the blade
will rotate in the proper direction (the direction
of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and
the teeth must point in the same direction as
the direction of rotation arrow on the saw). Do
not assume that the printing on the blade will
always be facing you when properly installed.
When retracting the lower blade guard to install
the blade, check the condition and operation
of the lower blade guard to assure that it is
working properly. Make sure it moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
3. Place the outer clamp washer (r) on the saw
spindle (s) with the large flat surface against the
blade (t) with beveled side facing out.
4. Thread the blade clamping screw (f) into the
saw spindle by hand. (Screw has left-hand
threads and must be turned counterclockwise
to tighten. Refer to arrow in Figure 7A.)
5. Depress the spindle lock button (d) while turning
the saw spindle with the hex key (l, fig.1) until
the spindle lock engages and the blade stops
rotating.
6. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
hex key.
NOTICE: Never engage the spindle
lock while saw is running, or engage
in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn
the saw on while the spindle lock is
engaged. Serious damage to your saw
will result.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw (f), depress
the spindle lock button (d) and turn the saw
spindle (s) with the hex key (l) until the spindle
lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
With the spindle lock engaged, turn the blade
clamping screw clockwise with the hex key.

turned clockwise to loosen. Refer to arrow in
Figure 7B.)
2. Remove the blade clamping screw (f) and outer
clamp washer (r) only. Remove old blade.
3. Clean any metal chips/shavings that may have
accumulated in the guard or clamp washer area
and check the condition and operation of the
lower blade guard as previously outlined. Do not
lubricate this area.
4. Select the proper blade for the application
(see Blades). Always use blades that are the
correct size (diameter) with the proper size
and shape centre hole for mounting on the
saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum
recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade
meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw.
5. Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the
Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in
the proper direction.

LOWER BLADE GUARD
WARNING: Under certain conditions
of use, metal chips may become
imbedded in the surfaces of the lower
guard, causing the lower guard to rub
against the upper guard. Check the
operation of the lower guard before
each use and remove any imbedded
chips.
WARNING: The lower blade guard is
a safety feature which reduces the
risk of serious personal injury. Never
use the saw if the lower guard is
missing, damaged, misassembled
or not working properly. Do not rely
on the lower blade guard to protect
you under all circumstances. Your
safety depends on following all
warnings and precautions as well
as proper operation of the saw.
Check lower guard for proper
closing before each use as outlined
in Additional Safety Rules for Circular
Saws. If the lower blade guard is
missing or not working properly,
have the saw serviced before
using. To assure product safety and
reliability, repair, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed
by an authorised service centre or
other qualified service organization,
always using identical replacement
parts.
BLADES
WARNING: To minimise the risk of
eye injury, always use eye protection.
Carbide is a hard but brittle material.
Foreign objects in the workpiece such
as wire or nails can cause tips to crack
or break. Only operate saw when proper
saw blade guard is in place. Mount
blade securely in proper rotation before
using, and always use a clean, sharp
blade.

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 material
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump
back toward the operator.
Kickback is more likely to occur when any of the
following conditions exists.
1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT
A. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off
piece can cause pinching of the blade and
lead to kickback (fig. 9).
B. Cutting through material supported at the
outer ends only can cause kickback. As the
material weakens it sags, closing down the
kerf and pinching the blade (fig. 9).
C. Cutting off a cantilevered or overhanging
piece of material from the bottom up in a
vertical direction can cause kickback. The
falling cut off piece can pinch the blade.
D. Cutting off long narrow strips can cause
kickback. The cut off strip can sag or twist
closing the kerf and pinching the blade.
E. Snagging the lower guard on a surface
below the material being cut momentarily
reduces operator control. The saw can lift
partially out of the cut increasing the chance
of blade twist.
2. IMPROPER DEPTH OF CUT SETTING ON
SAW
To make the most efficient cut, the blade should
protrude only far enough to expose a tooth
as shown in Figure 8. This allows the shoe to
support the blade and minimises twisting and
pinching in the material. See the section titled
Depth Adjustment.
3. BLADE TWISTING (MISALIGNMENT IN
CUT)
A. Pushing harder to cut can cause the blade to
twist.
B. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to get
back on the marked line) can cause blade
twist.
English
16
C. Overreaching or operating the saw with poor
body control (out of balance), can result in
twisting the blade.
D. Changing hand grip or body position while
cutting can result in blade twist.
E. Backing up the saw to clear blade can lead
to twist.
4. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES
Dull blades cause increased loading of the
saw. To compensate, an operator will usually
push harder which further loads the unit and
promotes twisting of the blade in the kerf.
Worn blades may also have insufficient body
clearance which increases the chance of
binding and increased loading.
5. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE
TEETH JAMMED AGAINST THE MATERIAL
The saw should be brought up to full operating
speed before starting a cut or restarting a cut
after the unit has been stopped with the blade
in the kerf. Failure to do so can cause stalling
and kickback.
Any other conditions which could result in pinching,
binding, twisting, or misalignment of the blade could
cause kickback. Refer to the sections Further
Safety Instructions for All Saws and Blades for
procedures and techniques that will minimise the
occurrence of kickback.
Depth Adjustment (fig. 8)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
The metal-cutting saw is equipped with a pivoting
shoe that allows the operator to set the depth of cut.
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth
adjustment so that one tooth of the blade projects
below the material to be cut. This distance is from
the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front
of the tooth. This keeps blade friction at a minimum,
removes metal chips from the cut, results in cooler,
faster sawing and reduces the chance of kickback.
TO SET THE DEPTH OF CUT
1. Lay the piece of material you plan to cut along
the blade as shown.
2. Note how much tooth projects beyond the
material.
3. Loosen the depth adjustment lever (c) and
move the shoe to change the depth of cut.
4. Retighten the depth adjustment lever securely.
Workpiece Support (fig. 9)
CUTTING SHEETS OF METAL
Figure 9 shows the correct and incorrect way to
support a large sheet. To avoid kickback, support
material near the cut. Do not support it away
from the cut. If material is supported away from
the cut, it will bind the blade and cause kickback.
When cutting thin strips, keep the blade at least
1/2" (approximately 13 mm) from the edge of the
material. Thin strips may bind, causing kickback and
increasing the risk of personal injury.
CUTTING RECTANGULAR METAL STOCK
Clamp the material you plan to cut to a workbench
or other work surface as shown above.
Cutting (fig. 10, 11)
1. Hold the saw securely using both hands.
Figure10 shows appropriate hand position.
Keep your body to one side of the line along
which you are cutting. This will protect you from
injury related to kickback.
2. When cutting ends off of rectangular metal
stock, place the widest part of the shoe on
the part of the material that is clamped to the
workbench or other support, not on the part of
the material that will fall when the cut is made.
3. Depress the trigger switch and allow the saw to
reach full speed before the blade contacts the
material to be cut (fig. 11).
4. Push the saw forward at a speed that allows
the blade to cut without laboring.
5. As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow
the blade to stop before lifting the saw from
the work. As you lift the saw, the guard will
automatically close under the blade.
CORRECTING A CUT
Should your cut begin to leave the cutting line, don’t
try to force it back on. Forcing a correction can stall
the saw and cause kickback. Instead, release the
switch and allow the blade to come to a complete
stop. Then, back the saw out of the cut. Restart
the saw and re-enter the cut, following the desired
cutting line.
CAUTION: Do not cut through bolts
with the metal-cutting saw. Damage to
the saw or personal injury could result.
