Besides, keep your fi nger off the switch trigger
when the circular saw is being carried around.
Otherwise, the main body switch can be
inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected

● Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in

nameplate.
CAUTION
● Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
● Pull out the battery after completing operation.
● Do not look directly into the light from the LED
light. Continuous and direct exposure to the light
from the LED light can injure your eyes.
● To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
