8. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your
body under the tool base or behind the saw,
especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback
occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over
your hand, leading to serious personal injury.
► Fig.4
9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of
accuracy, and possible kickback.
Guard function
Check guard for proper closing before each
1.
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade
is exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
2. Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the spring
are not operating properly, they must be ser-
viced before use. Guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
3. Assure that the base plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the "plunge cut" when the
blade bevel setting is not at 90 °. Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
4. Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in
its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
Additional safety warnings
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pres-
1.
sure treated lumber, or wood containing knots.
Maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease
in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
2.
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn off.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
3.
nails from lumber before cutting.
4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

5. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the
blade has come to a complete stop.
6. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
► Fig.6
7. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
8. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
9.
10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specified in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury.
Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
11.
hardened on blades slows saw and increases poten-
tial for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing
it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch
remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.

switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Quick stop for 3, 4, or 6 mm board
thickness groove cutting
By turning the quick stop, you can choose the appro-
priate depth of groove cutting for 3, 4, or 6 mm board
thickness swiftly.
The number, seen from the handle side, indicates the
workpiece board thickness.
For fine adjustment of depth of groove, use the depth
adjusting knob.
► Fig.7: 1. Quick stop 2. Depth adjusting knob
0 mm depth is set properly when the tool is shipped
from the factory, but if you changed the depth of groove
by the adjusting knob, refine the 0 mm depth as follows:
1. Turn the quick stop to 0 mm.
2.
Turn the depth adjusting knob to adjust the depth.
3.
Make sure that the blade does not make any
contact with work piece.
4. Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the front grip
and the other on the tool handle. Push in the lock-off
button, and turn the tool on.
5. Slowly press down the saw head fully, and check
whether the groove cutter blade does not contacts but
almost touches the workpiece. If not, stop the tool and
wait until the groove cutter blade stops completely, and
adjust the depth by turning the depth adjusting knob
again.
