Additional safety warnings
1. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-
out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating
the blade tips.
2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn off.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
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!

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.

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.

the saw blade.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.

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 hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential 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.

use the tool.
13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting

DESCRIPTION
Adjusting depth of cut
► Fig.7: 1. Lever
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting

► Fig.8: 1. Front lever
► Fig.9: 1. Rear wing nut
Loosen the front lever and rear wing nut. Set for the
desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting accordingly, then
tighten the lever and wing nut securely.
► Fig.10: 1. Stopper
Use the 45° stopper when you do precise 45° angle
cutting. Turn the stopper clockwise fully for bevel cut
(0° - 45°) and turn it counterclockwise for 0° - 50° bevel
cuts.
Sighting
