NOTE
When using the saw at the inclination of 45 degrees,
use both the marks of on the bevel plate and [45] on
the inclined gauge of the base (Fig. 33).
What's more, if it is absolutely essential to use the
saw at a precise angle, make adjustment using a
protractor, etc.

(3) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes in contact with the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the switch
trigger is squeezed; and OFF when the switch trigger
is released. Moving the saw straight at a constant
speed will produce optimum cutting.
CAUTION
● Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade
has reached full speed revolution.
● Should the saw blade be stopped or made an
abnormal noise during operation, turn off the
switch immediately.
● When fi nished with a job, pull out the battery
from the main body.
● To avoid abnormal heating of the blade tip or
damage to the saw blade, do not twist or apply
excessive force to the saw blade when cutting.
Let the blade move forward smoothly.
● In the situation where the circular saw is
continuously operated while replacing the
battery with stocked spare batteries one after
another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore,
whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw
a break for a while.
● Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base
bottom is afl oat from the material being cut.
Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
