completely open using the lower guard lever then
release it to ensure the lower blade guard closes and
completely covers the blade in a timely manner. Select
the proper blade for the material to be cut.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, always hold the tool with both hands.
1. After switching the tool on, allow the blade to come up
to full speed before starting to cut.
2. Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
3. Always keep bottom surface of shoe in full contact with
the workpiece.
Hints for Optimum Use

WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood,
and other materials may cause melted material to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw
blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating and
binding while cutting.
1. Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type and 7-1/4"
(184 mm) diameter blade size that have a 5/8" (16 mm)
diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 7000 RPM
operation (or higher). DO NOT use any abrasive wheels.
2. Use hardened steel saw blade for cutting wood and all
sorts of laminated wood.
3. Use carbide-tipped blade for wood only.
4. To minimize splintering of the finished surface of the
workpiece material, cut the material with the finished
surface on the underside.
5. To minimize splintering on finished surfaces when the
finished surface cannot be placed on the underside,
such when cutting laminates, securely clamp a sacrificial
piece of plywood to the finished surface and cut
through both materials.
Ripping

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, always hold the tool with both hands.
1. Ripping is the process of cutting wide material into
narrower strips, cutting along the grain of the material.
2. Use an accessory rip guide or clamp a straight edge to
the material to act as an guide when making rip cuts.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. K)

WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off the
work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall, or other
flat surface.
1. Adjust the saw foot plate so the blade cuts at
desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the foot plate on
material to be cut.
3. Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of foot plate until blade
teeth almost touch cutting line.

4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip auxiliary
handle 3 . Position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its
foot plate rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance
saw along the cutting line until cut is completed as
shown in Figure K.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely
before withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.

Hang Hook (Fig. A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not use the tool's hang hook to hang the
tool from your body. DO NOT use the hang hook for
tethering or securing the tool to a person or object
during use. DO NOT suspend tool overhead or suspend
objects from the hang hook.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from the
circular saw falling on operators or bystanders, make
sure it is supported securely when using the hang
hook, or resting in a secure and stable location when
not in use. Be sure to keep the area below clear to
reduce the risk of the tool or off-cut material falling
and striking someone or something below.
