Should this lever (A) remain loosened, it will create a very
hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it.
2. Adjusting the angle of inclination
By loosening the wing bolt at the scale, the saw blade
can be titled up to maximum angle of 45° against the
base (Fig. 5).

CAUTIONS
Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material you
are going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to
generate harmful / toxic dusts, make sure the dust bag or
appropriate dust extraction system is connected with dust
outlet tightly.
Wear the dust mask additionally, if available.
○ Before starting to saw, confi rm that the saw blade has
attained full-speed revolution.
○ Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal noise
while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.
○ Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near to the revolving saw blade.
○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing upwards
or sideways is very hazardous. Such uncommon
applications should be avoided.
○ When cutting materials, always wear protective
glasses.
○ When fi nished with a job, pull out the plug from the
receptacle.
