[. . . ] WARNING below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. [. . . ] KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. 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 action to eliminate the cause of blade binding. Wet lumber, green lumber or pressure treated lumber require special attention during cutting operation to prevent KICKBACK. When restarting a saw in a workpiece, center 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. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking knobs must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK. Using the saw with an excessive depth of cut setting increases loading on the unit and susceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kerf. It also increases the surface area of the blade available for pinching under conditions of kerf close down. Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. Some dust created by Grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 masonry products, and · arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated 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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.

Loosen bevel adjustment lever, set to 0° on quadrant, retighten bevel adjustment lever first, then the depth adjustment lever and check for 90° angle between the blade and bottom plane of foot with a square (Fig. [. . . ] When adding oil, fill until oil starts to run out of oil hole at arrow on housing and replace oil plug. NOTE: If oil is extra dirty or thick, replace the plug and run the saw for one minute to warm up the oil. CARBON BRUSHES The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined. [. . . ]
