APPLICATION
Cutting various types of wood.
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. Power switch
Before the tool is plugged in to the receptacle, 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, which could cause a serious accident.
3. 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.
4. Prepare a wooden workbench (Fig. 3)
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface
of the lumber, place the lumber on a workbench when
cutting. If a square block is utilized as a workbench,
select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An
unstable workbench will result in hazardous operation.
90°
45°
10. Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard
system operates correctly.
11. Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned
upward or to the side.
12. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters such as
nails.
13. For model C9SA3, the saw blades should be 235 mm.
14. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
15. Do not use the tool with only the blower function. (Fig. 2)
16. RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less at all times is recommended.

5. When using the side handle (Fig. 4)
Securely attach the side handle to the base with the two
screws (M6 × 20) when using the side handle.
CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely
anchored or held in position.
6. Using the cord holder (Fig. 5)
Using the cord holder, the cord can be guided toward the
rear of the product, as shown in the fi gure.
If the cord is interfering during operation, hook it into the
cord holder and change its angle.
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE
1. Adjusting the cutting depth
As shown in Fig. 6, hold the handle with one hand while
loosening the knob with the other.
The cutting depth can be adjusted by moving the base
to the desired position. In such manner adjust the cutting
depth and then securely retighten the knob.
2. Adjusting the angle of inclination
As shown in Fig. 7 (A), Fig. 7 (B) by loosening the wing-
nut on the incline gauge and the wing-bolt on the base,
the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of
45° in relation to the base. After having completed the
adjustment, reconfi rm that the wing-nut and the wing-bolt
are fi rmly tightened.
3. Regulating the guide (Fig. 8)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the
guide to the left or right after loosening its wingbolt. The
guide may be mounted on either the right or left side of
the tool.
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, where the saw
blade and the premarked line are to be aligned.
