adjusted after parallelism adjustment.
4. Adjusting the guide piece
On the circular saw, it is possible to make fi ne
adjustment of the fi xing position of the guide piece,

CAUTION
● Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
● Pull out the battery after completing operation.
● Do not look directly into the light from the LED
light. Continuous and direct exposure to the light
from the LED light can injure your eyes.
● To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
● Before use, check to see if the lock-off button
moves smoothly.

Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is locked,
immediately turn the power off . If the motor is locked
for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt.
1. Check if saw blade is tightened
While the saw blade is tightened securely for
immediate use when it is assembled at the factory,
be sure to check it out again for caution's sake. A
bolt can be tightened when it is turned clockwise.
Use the provided hex. bar wrench 5 mm to check it
out. For further details, refer to the item of [PRIOR TO
OPERATION] on Page 16.
2. Check if the lever is tightened
If the lever to adjust cutting depth (Fig. 14) is loose,
injury can result. Make sure that it is tightened
securely.
3. Operation of switch (Fig. 22)
(switch trigger and light switch)
For safe operation of the machine, a "lock-off button"
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the "switch trigger" is pulled in a state where "lock-
off button" is pressed in the direction of the arrow
mark, the main switch can be turned ON.
After the switch is on, the saw blade will continue to
operate as long as you pull on the switch trigger, even
