Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way 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.
16. 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.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories,
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
21. 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

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to circular saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. DANGER! 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

using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended
by
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Such Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

Prevention of Kickback")
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard
can not protect you from the blade below the work.
Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade
is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until
blade stops before grasping cut material.
2. 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 the lower guard into the
open position. If saw is accidentally dropped,
lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other
