• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in thelocked or off position before inserting battery pack.Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch oninvites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys orwrenches before turningthe tool on. A wrench or a keythat is left attached to arotating part of the tool may resultinpersonar injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balanceat all times. Proper footing and balance enable bettercontrol of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearingprotection must be used for appropriate conditions.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain longhair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawninto air vents.

• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stablefooting on a solid surface enables better control of thetool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure andsupport the workpiece to a stable platform. Holdingthe work by handor againstyour body is unstableandmay lead to lossof control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-plication. The correct tool will do the iob better andsafer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-gerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place theswitch in the locked or off position before makingany adjustments, changing accessories, or storingthe tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce therisk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and otheruntrained persons. Tools are dangerousin the handsof untrainedusers.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away fromother metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,nails, screws, or other small metal objects that canmake a connection from one terminal to another.Shorting the battery terminals together may causesparks, burns, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharpand clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol,

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,breakage of parts, and any other condition thatmay affect the tool's operation. If damaged, havethe tool serviced before using. Many accidentsarecaused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by themanufacturer for your model. Accessories that maybe suitable for one tool may create a risk of injurywhenusedon anothertool.

• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and freefrom oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth whencleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean yourtool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss ofcontrol and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

SERVICE

II Tool service must be performed only by qualifiedrepair personnel. Service or maintenance performedby unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenancesection of this manual. Use of unauthorized partsorfailure to follow Maintenance instructions may create arisk of shock or injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaceswhen performing an operation where the cuttingtool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"wirewill also make exposed metal parts of the tool"live" and shock the operator.

• DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area andblade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handleor motor housing, if both hands are holdingthe saw,they cannot be cut by the blade.

• Keep your body positioned to either side of the sawblade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACKcould cause the saw to jump backwards. (see KICK-BACK)

• Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can-not protect you from the blade below the work.

• Check the lower guard for proper closing beforeeach use. Do not operate saw if lower guard doesnot move freely and close instantly. Never clamp ortie the lower guard into the open position, if saw isaccidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raisethe lower guard with the retracting handle and makesure it moves freely and does not touch the blade orany other part, inall angles and depths of cut.

• Check the operation and condition of the lowerguard spring. If the guard and the spring are notoperating properly, they must be serviced beforeuse. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to dam-aged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

• Lower guard should be retracted manually onlyfor special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and "Com-pound Cuts". Raise lower guard by RetractingHandle. As soon as blade enters the material, lowerguard must be released. For all othersawing, thelower guard should operate automatically.

• Always observe that the lower guard is covering theblade before placing saw down on bench or floor.An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw towalk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Beaware of the time it takes for the blade to stop afterswitch is released.

• NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands oracross your leg. It is importantto support the workproperlyto minimize body exposure, blade binding, orloss of control.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces whenperforming an operation where the cutting tool maycontact hidden wiring, Contact with a "live" wire willalso make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" andshock the operator.

• When ripping always use a rip fence or straightedge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut andreduces the chance of blade binding.

• Always use blades with correct size and shape(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Bladesthat do notmatch the mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-centrically, causing loss of control.

Page 5: Craftman Power Saw Manual

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washersor bolts. The blade washers and bolt were speciallydesigned for your saw, for optimum performance andsafety of operation.

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, ormisaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw tolift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.

When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerfclosing down, the blade stalls and the motor reactiondrives 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 thetop surface of the wood causing the blade to climb outof the kerf andjump back toward the operator.Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect op-erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided bytaking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position yourbody and arm in a way that allows you to resistKICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be con-trolledby the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cutfor any reason, release the trigger and hold the sawmotionless in the material until the blade comes toa complete stop. Never attempt to remove the sawfrom the work or pull the saw backward while theblade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investi-gate and take corrective actions to eliminate the causeof-blade binding.

• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center thesaw blade in the ken' and check that teeth are notengaged into the material, if saw blade is binding, itmay walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as thesaw is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimize the risk of bladepinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sagunder their ownweight. Supports must be placedunder the panel on both sides, near the line of cut andnear the edge of the panel.

• Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened orimproperly set blades produce narrow kerf causingexcessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.

• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking leversmust be tight end secure before making cut. If bladeadjustment shifts while cutting, itwill cause bindingand KICKBACK.

• Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" intoexisting walls or other blind areas. The protrudingblade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

Laser Guide Warnings:The laser guide radiation used inthe Craftsman trim saw isClass Ilia with maximum <5 mW and 650nm wavelengths orClass Ilwithmaximum<1 mWand650nm wavelengths.Theselasers do not normally present an optical hazard althoughstaring at the beam may cause flash blindness.• Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.• The laser shaJfbe used and maintained in accordance

with the manufacturer's instructions.

Never aim the beam at a person or object other thanthe workpiece.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdyworkpiece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflectivesheet metal or similar shiny materials are not suitablefor laser use.

• All repairs should be made by an authorized servicerepresentative or the laser manufacturer.

KICKBACK

See Figures 8- 11.

Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the sawis driven back toward you. Blade stalling is caused by anyaction which pinches the blade in the wood.

,_, DANGER: Release switch immediately if blade

binds or saw stalls. Kickback could cause you tolose control of the saw. Loss of control can lead toserious injury.

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practicessuch as the following:• Setting blade depth incorrectly.

n Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.

• Twisting the blade while making a cut.

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

• Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.• Forcing a cut.

• Cutting warped or wet lumber.

• Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.

To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safetypractices:

• Keepbladeatthecorrectdepthsetting. Thedepthsettingshould not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut.

• Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.Never saw into a knot or nail.

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

• Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never makecuts with dull blades.

• Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.• Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never

force a cut.

• Do not cut warped or wet lumber.• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body

in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickbackshould occur.

WARNING: When using the saw, always stay alertand exercise control. Do not remove the saw fromthe workpiece while the blade is moving.

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they arenot kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull bladewill place a heavy load on the saw and increase the dan-ger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharpblades are always available.

Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow thesaw down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gumand pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove theseaccumulations. OO NOT USE GASOLINE.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

See Figure 12.The lower blade guard attached to the trim saw is there foryour protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason.If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until youhave the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guardin operating position when using the saw.

_lL DANGER: When sawing through work, lowerblade guard does not cover blade on the undersideof work. Since blade is exposed on underside ofwork, keep hands and fingers away from cuttingarea. Any part of your body coming in contact withmoving blade will result in serious injury.

_, CAUTION: Never use saw when guard is notoperating correctly. Check the guard for correctoperation before each use. The guard is operatingcorrectly when it moves freely and readily returns tothe closed position. If you drop the saw, check thelower blade guard and bumper for damage at alldepth settings before reuse.

STARTING/STOPPING THE SAWSee Figure 13,

To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.

Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the sawinto the workpiece.

_1_ WARNING: The blade coming in contact with theworkpiece before it reaches full speed could causethe saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in seri-ous injury.

To stop the saw: Releasethe switch trigger.After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade tocome to a complete stop, Do not remove the saw fromthe workpiece while the blade is moving.

_, WARNING; Always remove battery pack from the

tool when changing operation settings or when thetool is not in use. Failure to remove the battery packmay result in accidental starting and serious per-sonal injury.

ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTHSee Figure 14.

Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correctblade depth setting for all cuts should net exceed 1/4 in.below the material being cut. More blade depth willincrease the chance of kickback and cause the cut to berough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is locatedon the upper blade guard.

• Remove battery pack from saw.

• Loosen depth adjustment knob.

• Determine the desired depth of cut.

• Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper bladeguard.

• Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lowersaw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns withnotch on blade guard.

• Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.

USING THE LASER GUIDESee Figure 15

WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam orturn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failureto do so could result in possible serious personalinjury. The laser unit comes from the factory al-ready installed and aligned. If the laser becomesmisaligned after time refer to the "Adjustments"section.

NOTE: Make a trial cut on a piece of scrap materialto ensure laser is aligned; adjusting the Fasermay benecessary.

• Remove battery pack from saw

• Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.

• Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.• Switch on the laser beam.

• Install battery pack into the tool and start the motor.

NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece untilthe saw has reached maximum speed.

• Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.

NOTE" Keep the laser beam on the marked line on theworkpiece for precision cutting.

OPERATING THE SAWSee Figures 16 - 18.

It is important to understand the correct method for oper-ating the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learnthe correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.

DANGER: When lifting the saw from the

workpiece, the blade is exposed on the undersideof the saw until the lower blade guard closes. Makesure the lower blade guard is closed before settingthe saw down.

_. WARNING: To make sawing easier and safer,

always maintain proper control of the saw. Loss ofcontrol could cause an accident resulting in pos-sible serious injury.

To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.

• Hold the saw firmly with both hands.

• Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while mak-ing a cut.

• Suppo[t the workpiece so that the cut (kerr) is alwaysto your side.

• Support the workpiece near the cut.

• Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiecewill not move during the cut.

• Always place the saw on the werkpiece that is sup-ported, not the "cut off" piece.

• Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.

• Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut beforebeginning your cut.
