ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
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.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack
must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
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.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create risk of fire.
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 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.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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 sparks, burns or a fire.
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 injury.
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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or “OFF” position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or inserting battery pack into a tool with the power switch “ON” invites
accidents.
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 injury when used
on another tool.
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.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
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.
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 shock or injury.
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.
SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAW
TOOL USE AND CARE
NEVER assume the blade has stopped just because
the trigger has been released. Blades may continue moving even after the
motor stops.
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.
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 injury.
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.
Inspect the bolts and blade washers before each use. Damaged or incorrect bolts
or blade washers can cause injury.
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.
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.

Keep the handle of the Cordless Circular Saw dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
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.
Do not run the Cordless Circular Saw while carrying it at your side. A moving
blade could cause serious personal injury.
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 the switch is released.
Disconnect battery 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 injury.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Circular Saw. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a replacement.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and
bolts were specifically designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety
of operation.
Keep hands away from cutting area and 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.
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”).
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 operator.
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the work.
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.
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.
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 proper precautions as given below:
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. Lower guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of
debris.
Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that
allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. 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 actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires
3-5 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 1 hour
for the battery to be fully charged.
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.
Always switch to a fresh battery 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 battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
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 kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.
Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed
120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
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.
The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to
run slowly.
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.
When battery 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 battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or fire.

GENERAL CUTTING
POCKET CUTTING
POCKET CUTTING
If the blade binds, release the trigger immediately. Do
not move the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop. Find the cause of
the binding before starting the saw again.
Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your
hands and feet well away from the work piece.
Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed.
If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious
personal injury.
If the blade becomes pinched, twisted, misaligned or
bound, it will stall and lift up out of the work piece, suddenly jerking back
toward the operator. This reaction is referred to as KICKBACK.
Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a
broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the
work piece.
• Mark out the line to be cut so
it is easily visible.
• Put on eye protection.
• Clear the saw of any foreign material.
• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise
or attach to the workbench with clamps.
• Start inside the area to be cut
out.
• Set the shoe against the work
piece at an angle.
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.
• Check the lower guard for damage. If damaged, do not use tool.
• Lift the blade guard.
• Always use the right blade for the material.
• Make sure all bolts, screws and locking levers are secure before starting tool.
• Pull the trigger to start the saw.
• Pull the trigger to start the
saw.
• When the blade reaches full
speed, slowly feed the blade
into the work piece. When the
