OPERATION
Q
Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
Q
Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.
Q
Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never
make cuts with dull blades.
Q
Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.
Q
Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
Q
Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
Q
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your
body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces
if kickback should occur.
WARNING
When using the saw, always stay alert and
exercise control. Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade is moving.
SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are
not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull
blade will place a heavy load on the saw and increase
the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand,
so that sharp blades are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the
saw down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use
gum and pitch remover, hot water to remove these
accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM (Fig. 9)
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is
there for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any
reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw
until you have the guard repaired or replaced. Always
leave guard in operating position when using the saw.
DANGER
When sawing through work, lower blade guard
does not cover blade on the underside of work.
Since blade is exposed on underside of work,
keep hands and fingers away from cutting area.
Any part of your body coming in contact with
moving blade will result in serious injury
CAUTION
Never use saw when guard is not operating
correctly. Check the guard for correct operation
before each use. The guard is operating correctly
when it moves freely and readily returns to the
closed position. If you drop the saw, check the

lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all
depth settings before reuse.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW (Fig. 10)
To start the saw:
Q
Depress the lock-off button.
Q
Depress the switch trigger.
Q
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the
saw into the workpiece.
WARNING
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece
before it reaches full speed could cause the saw to
"kickback" towards you resulting in serious injury.
Q
To stop the saw: release the switch trigger.
Q
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade
to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw
from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
LOCK-OFF BUTTON (Fig. 10)
The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental
starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle
above the switch trigger. The lock-off button must be
depressed before you pull the switch trigger. The lock
resets each time the trigger is released.
NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either
the left or right side.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH (Fig. 11)
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 6.35mm
below the material being cut. More blade depth will
increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be
rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale is located
on the upper blade guard.
Q
Loosen the depth adjustment knob.
Q
Determine the desired depth of cut.
Q
Locate the depth of cut scale on the back of the upper
blade guard.
Q
Hold the base flat against the workpiece and raise
or lower the saw until the indicator mark on bracket
aligns with the notch on the blade guard.
Q
Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely.
OPERATING THE SAW (Fig. 12-14)
It is important to understand the correct method for
operating the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to
learn the correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
