4. Regulating the guide (Fig. 8)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving
the guide to the left or right after loosening its
wing-bolt. The guide may be mounted on either the
right or left side of the tool.

HOW TO USE

1. Operation of switch (Fig. 9)
(switch trigger and light switch)
(1) For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock"
is provided on the side of a handle.
If the "switch lock" is pulled in a state where it
is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the
main switch can be turned ON.
And the "switch lock" is used as the "light switch".
If the "switch lock (light switch)" is pulled in a state,
the light is turned ON.
(2) After the switch is turned ON, even when you
release your hand from the switch lock, the body
continues running and the light continues being
turned ON as long as you keep on pulling the
switch trigger.
(3) If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF
the switch and the "switch lock" returns to the
original position automatically and the light turns
OFF too.

CAUTION:
Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Basides, keep
your finger off the switch trigger when the circular
saw is being carried around. Otherwise, the main
body switch can be inadvertently turned ON,
resulting in unexpected accidents.
Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in
unexpected accidents.
2. Working performance per single charge (Reference
data) (Table 2)
Cutting capability differs according to the condition
of lumber, type of saw blade, ambient temperature,
battery characteristics, etc.

To improve working efficiency per single charge,
Minimize operation (no-load operation) other than
cutting;
Avoid any unreasonably forced pressure to the motor
during cutting operation by twisting or pressing the
circular saw forcibly;
Avoid any use of dull saw blade.
3. Cutting procedures
CAUTION:
Recheck that the saw blade is securely clamped.
Confirm that the wing-nut for adjusting the slot
depth, the wing-nut for adjusting the angle of
inclination.
(1) Place the base on the material, then align the
premarked line and the saw blade with the guide
piece front scale section at the front of the base.
(Fig. 10)
(2) When the base is not inclined, use the large notch
as the guide piece. (Fig. 10, Fig. 11)
If the base is inclined (45 degrees), use the small
notch as the guide piece. (Fig. 10, Fig. 12)
NOTE:
When using the saw at the inclination of 45 degrees,
use both the marks of [45 degrees] on the bevel
plate and [45] on the inclined gauge of the base.
(Fig. 13)
What's more, if it is absolutely essential to use the
saw at a precise angle, make adjustment using a
protractor, etc.
