HOW TO USE

1. Operation of switch (Fig. 15)
(switch trigger and light switch)
(1) For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock"
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the "switch lock" is pulled in a state where it
is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the
main switch can be turned ON.
And the "switch lock" is used as the "light switch".
If the "switch lock (light switch)" is pulled in a state,
the light is turned ON.
(2) After the switch is turned ON, even when you
release your hand from the switch lock, the saw
blade continues running and the light continues
being turned ON as long as you keep on pulling
the switch trigger.
(3) If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF
the switch and the "switch lock" returns to the
original position automatically and the light turns
OFF too.

CAUTION:
Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Basides, keep
your finger off the switch trigger when the circular
saw is being carried around. Otherwise, the main
body switch can be inadvertently turned ON,
resulting in unexpected accidents.
Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in
unexpected accidents.
NOTE:
If the saw is set aside with the battery still installed,
then depending on the orientation of the saw, if
the "Switch Lock" comes in contact with the floor
surface or wall surface, the light can remain on
continuously. Please be aware that if the light is
allowed to remain on continuously, even a fully
charged battery can be completely discharged in
about 3 hours.
2. Cutting procedures
CAUTION:
Recheck that the saw blade is securely clamped.
Confirm that the clmap lever for adjusting the slot
depth, the wing bolt (A) for adjusting the angle of
inclination.
(1) Place the saw body (base) on the lumber, and as
in Fig. 16 align the intended line of cut with the
saw blade, using the notch at the front of the base.
This relationship of base to lumber should remain
unchanged regardless of the inclination of the base.
When inclined 45°
(2) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes in contact with the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger
is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger is released.
