FOREWORD
The Porter-Cable Cordless Circular Saw is designed to cut 2" finished
lumber at 45°, using a 150mm (6") diameter, ultra thin-kerf blade having a
1/2" diameter mounting hole.
NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or
tools are required.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW
This tool is always in an operating condition because it does
not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Keep hands, body, and
clothing clear of the blade when a battery pack is installed in the saw.
The trigger switch is equipped with a "lock-off" button (A) Fig. 3. This "lock-
off" button extends through the upper handle area, and may be depressed
from either the left or the right side of the handle. Depress either end of this
button to release the "lock-off" feature, allowing the trigger switch to be
engaged.
1. TO START THE SAW – Depress
and hold either end of the
"lock-off" button (A) Fig. 3, then
squeeze the trigger switch (B)
Fig. 3 to start the saw. (The
"lock-off" button may be re-
leased as soon as the trigger
switch is squeezed).
2. TO STOP THE SAW – Release
the trigger switch.
REMOVING THE BLADE
Remove the battery
pack.
1. Pull the blade wrench (C) Fig. 4
from the storage pocket on the
right side of the saw.
2. Push in the blade lock (D) Fig. 5,
and rotate the blade by hand
until the lock engages the blade
arbor.
