APPLICATION
○ Cutting various types of wood
○ Grooving various types of wood (use a groove cutter)
○ Cutting various decorative boards, thin plastic boards,
and new types of building materials which are soft (use
a saw blade for plastics)
○ Cutting thin aluminum sheets (use a saw blade for
aluminum)
○ Cutting nonmetallic materials such as slate, gypsum
board, cemented excelsior board, etc. (use a super
polynet saw)

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Grounding
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
three conductor cord and grounding type plug to fi t the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green
and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal.
3. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, inviting serious accident.
4. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source.
Use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
5. Prepare a wooden workstand (Fig. 1)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a workstand
when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a workstand,
select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An
unstable workstand will result in hazardous operarion.
CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the portion
of lumber remaining after cutting is securely anchored or
held in position.

excelsior board, etc.
Size: 150 mm external diam. × 1.7 mm thickness
10. Circular Saw Bench Stand
(with Contact Guard)
For use in stationary operations with circular saw
11. Contact Guard
Safer operations can be conducted with the circular saw bench stand in a stationary
condition.
Model: PS7-BS3 (for C6 and C7)
Model: PS7-S3 (for PS7-BS3)

ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE

1. Adjusting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted by moving the base
after loosening its wing nut (Fig. 2).
CAUTION
Should this wing nut remain loosened, it will create a very
hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it.
2. Adjusting the angle of inclination
By loosening the wing bolt at the scale, the saw blade
can be tilted up to maximum angle of 45° against the
base (Fig. 3).
The angle of inclination can also be regulated by
loosening the wing bolt at the scale (Fig. 3).
CAUTION
It is very hazardous to allow this wing bolt to remain
loosened. Always thoroughly clamp it.
3. Regulating the guide
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the
guide to the left or right after loosening its wing bolt.
The guide can be mounted on either the left or the right
side.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

1. Place the saw body (base) on the lumber, and align the
cutting line with the saw blade at the guide piece (Fig. 4).
2. Turn ON the switch before the saw blade contacts the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger is
squeezed, and turned OFF when the trigger is released.
CAUTIONS
○ Before starting to saw, confi rm that the saw blade has
attained full-speed revolution.
○ Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal noise
while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.
○ Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near to the revolving saw blade.
○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing upwards
or sideways is very hazardous. Such uncommon
applications should be avoided.
○ When cutting materials, always wear protective glasses.
○ When fi nished with a job, pull out the plug from the
receptacle.
