PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch

CAUTION
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE
1. Adjusting the cutting depth
2. Installing riving knife
(1) Place the base facing upward and loosen the clamp
(2) Install the riving knife to the arm securely with the
Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard
system operates correctly.
The saw blades body must be thinner than the
riving knife and the width of cut, or kerf (with
teeth set) must be greater than the thickness of
the riving knife.
Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade
turned upward or to the side.
Ensure that the material is free of foreign matter
such as nails.
The riving knife should always be used except
when plunging in the middle of the work piece.
The saw blades should be from 305 mm to 335
mm external diameter ranges.

When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
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.
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely
anchored or held in position.
As shown in Fig. 2 cutting depth adjustment can
be accomplished by loosening clamp lever and
shifting the base. When the base and saw blade
are at a perpendicular angle, use the link scale to
adjust the cutting depth.
Measure the distance that the saw blade extends
to adjust the cutting depth to the correct distance
because the scale marks are only indicated for
reference. After the adjustment is over, securely
tighten the clamp lever.
lever. Lift the base until the depth of cut on the
main unit reaches the minimum state, fasten the
clamp lever, and secure the base. (Fig. 2)
