WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to

make you careless. Remember that a careless

fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious

shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to

do so could result in objects being thrown into your

eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

sories not recommended by the manufacturer of

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

 Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,

paneling, composition board, and hard wood)

 Cutting masonite and plastic

 Cutting drywall

 Cutting metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, alu-

minum, brass, and copper

This product will accept Craftsman 19.2 V lithium-ion bat-

tery packs and Craftsman 19.2 V nickel-cadmium battery

packs.

For complete charging instructions, see the Operator’s

Manuals for your battery pack and charger models.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES

Craftsman 19.2 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with

features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize

battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-

in features may cause the battery and the tool it is power-

ing to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.

During some applications, the battery electronics may

signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop

running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger

and resume normal operation.

NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid

forcing the tool.

If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and

tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery

pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion

charger.

TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 2, page i.

TO INSTALL:

 Place the battery pack in the saw aligning raised rib on

battery pack with groove in saw’s battery port.

 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack

snap into place and battery pack is secured to saw

before beginning operation.

CAUTION: When placing battery pack in the tool,

be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with the

bottom of the saw and latches into place properly.

Improper installation of the battery pack can cause

damage to internal components.

WARNING: Always remove battery pack from your

tool when you are assembling parts, making adjust-

ments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing bat-

tery pack will prevent accidental starting that could

cause serious personal injury.

TO REMOVE:

 Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress to

release battery pack from the saw.

 Remove battery pack from the saw.

WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating

condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked

when not in use or carrying at your side.

SELECTING BLADES

Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order

to obtain the best performance from the saw. Select

the blade based on the application and on the material

you wish to cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a

smoother, faster cut and prolong the life of the blade.

Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typical-

ly used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are

better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI

for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BLADE

See Figure 3, page i.

 Remove battery pack.

 Lift blade clamp lever located on side of saw.

 Insert saw blade between blade clamp and saw bar.

NOTE: Blade can be installed with teeth facing either

up or down.

 Lower blade clamp to lock blade.

 Replace battery pack.
