Automatic Electric Brake
Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which
stops the saw blade within 1–2 seconds of trigger release.
This is automatic and requires no adjustment.
Lower Blade Guard
WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety
feature which reduces the risk of serious personal
injury. Never use the saw if the lower blade
guard is missing, damaged, misassembled
or not working properly. Do not rely on the
lower blade guard to protect you under all
circumstances. Your safety depends on following
all warnings and precautions as well as proper
operation of the saw. Check lower blade guard
for proper closing before each use as outlined
in Further safety instructions for All saws.
If the lower blade guard is missing or not
working properly, have the saw serviced before
using. To assure product safety and reliability,
repair, maintenance and adjustment should be
performed by an authorized service center or
other qualified service organization, always using
identical replacement parts.
Checking the Lower Guard (Fig. A)
1. Turn tool off and disconnect from power supply.
2. Rotate the lower blade guard retracting lever
fully closed position to the fully open position.
3. Release the lever and observe the guard
fully closed position.
The tool should be serviced by a qualified service center if it:
•
fails to return to the fully closed position,
•
moves intermittently or slowly, or
•
contacts the blade or any part of the tool in all angles
and depth of cut.
Blade Selection
Your circular saw is designed for use with 7‑1/4" (184 mm)
diameter blades that have a 5/8" (15.9 mm) diameter bore.
Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher). DO
NOT use any abrasive wheels.
General Cuts
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, remove the
battery, and follow all assembly, adjustment and set
up instructions.
Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for
the material to be cut.

•
Measure and mark work for cutting.
•
Support and secure work properly (refer to Supporting
Large Panels/Securing Workpiece).
•
Use appropriate and required safety equipment (refer to
Additional Safety Information).
•
Secure and maintain work area (refer to Safety
Instructions for All Saws).
•
With battery inserted, make sure switch turns saw on
and off.
Sawing
•
Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards. Refer to Further Safety
Instructions for all Saws and Kickback Causes and
Related Warnings.
•
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
•
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Hints for Optimum Use
•
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side
of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side
where splintering is acceptable.
•
Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of
the workpiece.

Remove your hand from the lower blade guard retracting
lever and firmly grip the secondary handle
in Figure M. 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 shoe
rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along
the cutting line until cut is completed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
always hold the tool with both hands.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket
