SAFETY INFORMATION

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the presence of ammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

• Make the workshop childproof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

• Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double-insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This

plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the

plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for a three-wire, grounded power cord and

grounded power-supply system.

• Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded while using the tool.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. A wet power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug from an outlet. Keep

the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.

• Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These

cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. The following table shows

the correct size to use, depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool.

When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed extension cords:

PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING: The operation of any power tool 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, when needed. It is

recommended to use a wide vision safety mask over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with

shields. Always use eye protection, which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use the tool while tired or under the inuence 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.

• Avoid accidental startups. Ensure that the switch is off before plugging the tool in. Carrying tools

with your nger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the 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 injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection must

be used for appropriate conditions.

• Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), ensure that the voltage

supplied is the same as that specied on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage

greater than that specied for the tool can result in serious injury to the user as well as damage to

the tool.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or another practical means to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better

and more safely at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp

cutting edges 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 serviced 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 become hazardous when used on another tool.

• Do not alter or misuse the tool. This tool is precision built. Any alteration or modication not

specied is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury and/or property damage.

• When servicing 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 electric shock or injury.

SAFETY INFORMATION

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

• Do not use the circular saw near fumes or combustible liquids.

• Never slow the blade down with your hands, or by applying pressure to the side of the blade.

• Never apply force! Move the circular saw forward gently and steadily.

• Use of accessories that are not recommended for use with this tool may create hazardous

conditions.

DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on the

auxiliary 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 backward.

• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the

work surface.

• Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower

guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open

position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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 serviced before use. The lower guard may operate sluggishly due

to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

• The lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts, such as “Pocket Cuts” and

“Compound Cuts.” For these specialized cuts, raise the lower guard with the retracting handle. As

soon as the blade enters the material, 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 the saw down on the

bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backward, 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 the piece being cut in your hands or across your body. It is important to support the

work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

• Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces 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 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 of blade binding.

• Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) holes. Blades that do not

match the mounting hardware of the saw will cause a loss of control.

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolts were

specially designed for the saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust-containing 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.

Lowes.com

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals:

• Work in a well-ventilated area.

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out

microscopic particles.

• 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 or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote the absorption of

harmful chemicals.

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 wood, causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the

operator.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking the proper precautions as given below:

DANGER: Release the switch immediately if the blade binds or the saw stalls. Kickback could

cause loss of control of the saw. Loss of control can lead to serious personal injury.

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such as the following:

• Setting the blade depth incorrectly.

• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece.

• Twisting the blade while making a cut.

• Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set blade.

• Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.

• Forcing a cut.

• Cutting warped or wet lumber.

• Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.

To reduce the chance of kickback, follow these safety practices:

• When the 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 workpiece 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 the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the

workpiece as the saw is restarted.

Lowes.com

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Blade depth and angle-locking knob levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If the

blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause blade binding and kickback.

• 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.

• Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth setting should not extend more than 1/4 in.

(6.5 mm) below the material that is being cut.

• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.

• Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting. This helps prevent the blade

from twisting.

• Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades.

• Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.

• Use steady, even pressure when making a cut.

• Do not cut warped or wet lumber.

• Hold the saw rmly with both hands and maintain a balanced position in order to resist the force if

kickback should occur.

WARNING: When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove the

saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.

SAW BLADES

• The best saw blades will not cut efciently if they are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using

a dull blade will place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra

blades on hand so sharp blades are always available.

• Gum and resin on blades will slow the saw down. Remove the saw blade from the saw and use

gum and resin remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these accumulations. DO NOT USE

GASOLINE.
