blade 4. Outer flange 5. Hex bolt 6. Ring
WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also
be careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping
your hand from the hex wrench can cause a per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend
to use is installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low, the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this
time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its
full capacity.

11 ENGLISH
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool.
If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular
saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for circular saw blade
to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning
which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Hook
CAUTION:
Always remove the batteries when
hanging the tool with the hook.
CAUTION:
Never hook the tool at high loca-
tions or on the surfaces where the tool may lose
the balance and fall.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the tool hooked
downward.
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
To use the hook, simply lift up hook until it snaps into
the open position.
When not in use, always lower hook until it snaps into
the closed position.
