  • Page 3: Work Area Safety

    WORK AREA SAFETY: • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Inspect work area for hazards before using tool. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
  • Page 4 • Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. • Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
  • Page 5: Extension Cords

    • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. • Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only.
  • Page 6: Specific Safety Rules For Circular Saws

    Guidelines for Using Extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
  • Page 7 If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand, then release and watch guard closure.
  • Page 8 attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. Ø When restarting a saw in the work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material.

  • Page 10: Blade Installation

    WARNING: 7-1/4” 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. Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards.
  • Page 11: Bevel Angle Adjustment

    NOTE: Always maintain the correct blade depth setting. For all cuts, the blade depth should not exceed 1⁄4” below the material being cut. Excessive blade depth increases the chance of saw KICKBACK. BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT § Loosen the clamp knob at the bevel scale plate on the front of the saw base. §...
  • Page 12 OPERATION STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is switched off. Accidently starting the saw could cause personal injury. To start the saw, depress and hold the Lock-Off Button (18-FIG 1), then depress the trigger switch. NOTE : Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece.
  • Page 13: Bevel Cutting

    • Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work piece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting. DANGER! If, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the work piece or other object during a cut, release the switch trigger immediately.
  • Page 14 spend time making practice cuts in scrap lumber to become familiar with and overcome difficulties associated with compound/bevel cutting. POCKET CUTS A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the work piece rather than starting from an outside edge and working inward.
