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. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
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
•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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
(1)battery charger, (2) battery pack, and
(3)product using battery.

Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Skil approved rechargeable batteries. See Functional Description and Specifications. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures do not go below 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) or will no exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). Allow battery pack to return to room temperature before attempting to charge.This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water, then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
Place charger on flat
