If the lower blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified service organization, always using identical replacement parts. Blades WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails can cause tips to

4. Select the proper blade for the application (see Blades). Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw. 5. Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction. DC310 ONLY (FIG. 6, 7) To Install the Blade: 1. Place inner clamp washe

This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord. • Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capaci

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger. Charging Procedure 1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. 2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. Be sure the pack is fully seated in the charger.
