1. Loosen the Nut (57) with hex
wrench end of the Arbor Tool and
adjust the depth of the cut with the
Depth Adjustment (55). The Depth
Adjustment is located between the
handle and the upper guard of the
Saw. The cut should be deep enough
to cut all the way through the material
but not deep enough to bite into a
surface beneath. Adding about 1/8"
cut greater than the thickness of the
material is advised. Tighten the Nut
when cut depth is set.
2. Loosen the Rip Fence Screw and
adjust the Rip Fence so that it is in
line with the cut.

Laser on. The laser is aligned with
the Blade and will serve as a guide in
cutting.

workpiece, depress the safety (just
above the Trigger) and hold Trigger

to full speed before addressing it to
the workpiece.
7. Hold the Circular Saw with both
hands and allow it to cut through the
workpiece at it's own pace.
8. When the cut is complete, release the
Trigger. Allow the Saw to coast to a
stop before setting it down. Turn off
the Laser.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the
tool and disconnect its power supply
after use. Clean, then store the tool
indoors out of children's reach.
