  • Page 3: Electrical Safety

    Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. • Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Power tool plugs must match the outlet • . Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions •...
  • Page 4: Extension Cords

    This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Service your power tool periodically • . When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXTENSION COrDS Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. 5.8 Amp, 4-1/2" Circular Saw Operator’s Manual GCS545C...
  • Page 5: Specific Safety Rules For Circular Saws

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

    ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS WArNING: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool. WArNING: 4-1/2” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle.

  • Page 12 IMPOrTANT! The work piece must have a flat surface. Otherwise the cutting process will not be stable and will lead to poor cutting accuracy. IMPOrTANT! The saw only works with the Rip Cutting Tracking System with no bevel. Make sure the bevel setting on the saw is in 0° position before cutting. • Assemble the tracks. • Stabilize the track on the work piece. • Mount the front portion of the saw base on the start end of the track by inserting the right side edge of the base into the slot on the track. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work piece to be cut. • Align the indicator line on the base to the cutting line marked FIG 8 on work piece. • Secure the track by using the G-Clamps provided with the track system. • Switch on the tool and wait for a moment for the blade to run up to speed. Push the saw gently forward along the track. (Never draw the tool backwards.) • Once the cut has been finished, release the switch trigger. Wait for the blade to completely stop before remove the saw off the track. • The rubber on the track will be cut off during first cutting.
