3.Do not abuse the cord on the charging stand. Never carry the charging
stand /transformer by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to remove the transformer from the power outlet. Damage to the cord or charging stand/transformer could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

2.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3.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 RULES FOR CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAWS
!DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, the blade cannot cut them.
!CAUTION: Blades coast after saw is switched off.
1.KEEP your body positioned to either side of the saw blade and not in direct line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See “Kickback…What Causes It and Ways to Prevent It” on pages 18 and 19).
2.DO NOT reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade beneath the workpiece.
!DANGER: When sawing through a workpiece, the lower blade guard DOES NOT cover the blade on the underside of the workpiece (Pg. 16 Fig. 4). ALWAYS keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting area.
3.CHECK 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 in the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting lever. The guard is operating properly when it moves freely, does not touch the blade or any other part in all angles and depths of cut, and readily returns to the closed position.
4.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. DO NOT operate your saw until the damage has been repaired or replaced.
5.The lower guard should be retracted manually ONLY for making special cuts, such as pocket or compound cuts. ALWAYS raise the lower guard by retracting its lever. As soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard MUST be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
6.ALWAYS make sure that the lower guard is covering the blade BEFORE placing the saw down on a work bench or floor. An unprotected moving blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Make note of the time it takes for the blade to stop spinning after the switch is released.
7.NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs. It is important to support the workpiece properly in order to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
