CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF KICKBACK  
eccentrically, causing loss of control.  
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts.  
The blade washers  
and bolts were specifically designed for your saw, for optimum performance  
and safety of operation.  
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, caus-  
ing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the operator.  
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade  
stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.  
SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS  
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge  
of the blade can dig into the top surface of the metal causing the blade to climb  
out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.  
NEVER assume the blade has stopped just because the trigger has been  
released.  
Blades may continue moving even after the motor stops.  
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a  
dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.  
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or  
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the  
trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to  
a complete stop. Never 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.  
When using the Circular Saw, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with  
both hands. Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do not grasp  
the tool or place your hands too close to the blade.

MOUNTING THE RIP FENCE:  
The rip fence allows sawing parallel  
to an edge at a maximum distance  
of 4".

may be hot after prolonged use.  
Accessories  
2. Insert the rip fence into the saw base  
as shown in the illustration.  
3. Set the lock knob to the required  
distance.  
If the blade clamp screw will not loosen enough to allow  
blade installation, tap gently on the end of the wrench with a mallet until the  
clamp screw breaks free.  
4. Tighten the lock knob.  
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT  
ATTACHING / REMOVING BLADE  
Disconnect plug from power supply before making any  
adjustments to the tool.  
Only use sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked  
or bent saw blades must be replaced immediately.  
1. Hold the saw firmly.  
REPLACING THE SAW BLADE:  
2. Loosen the depth adjustment knob  
and move shoe to obtain the desired  
depth of cut.  
1. Hold the saw blade guard open.  
2. Use the flange wrench to stop  
the saw blade from moving.  
3. Make sure the depth adjustment knob  
has been retightened before operating  
saw.  
3. Loosen the blade bolt with hex  
wrench and remove it.  
Your saw is equipped with a carbide  
tipped blade for long life and efficient  
cutting.  
4. Remove the flange.  
Setting the saw at the proper cutting depth keeps blade friction to a minimum,  
removes sawdust from between the blade teeth, results in cooler, faster sawing  
and reduces the chance of kickback. Align the appropriate mark on the depth  
adjustment strap with the triangle on the upper blade guard. Your depth is set.  
5. Remove the old saw blade and  
place the new saw blade with the  
teeth pointing in the direction of  
rotation. See arrow on the housing.  
For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped blade, set the depth  
adjustment so that about one half of a tooth projects below the surface of the  
wood to be cut.  
6. Move the saw blade guard back  
into its normal position.  
7. Place the flange on the saw blade  
and secure the blade bolt.

A method of checking the correct cut-  
ting depth is to lay a piece of the  
material you plan to cut along the side  
of the blade and observe how much  
tooth projects beyond the material.  
OPERATING THE CIRCULAR SAW  
Always unplug the tool before attempting to change the  
blade or accessories.  
OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH  
THIS TOOL IS CONTROLLED BY  
A TRIGGER SWITCH:  
The speed of the Circular Saw  
depends on the amount of  
pressure applied on the trigger.  
The further the trigger  
is pressed, the faster the tool  
will go.  
BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT  
Disconnect plug from power supply before making any  
adjustments to the tool.  
Press the lock-off button, then  
pull the ON/OFF” trigger to  
turn the Circular Saw ON” . To  
turn the Circular Saw OFF” , release the trigger switch. The lock-off button will  
automatically reset.  
The full range of bevel adjust-  
ment is from 0 to 45  
DEGREES. The quadrant is  
graduated in increments of 5  
degrees.  
GENERAL CUTTING  
Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your  
hands and feet well away from the work piece.  
Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed.  
If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious  
personal injury.  
On the front and rear of the saw is a bevel  
angle adjustment mechanism consisting of  
a calibrated quadrant and a knob.  
30º  
Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a  
broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the  
work piece.  
To set the saw for a bevel cut, turn the bevel adjustment knobs counterclockwise  
to loosen, and tilt shoe to the desired angle by aligning the pointer with the  
desired angle mark. Retighten knobs firmly by turning clockwise.  
Put on eye protection.  
Clear the saw of any foreign material.  
• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise  
or attach to the workbench with clamps.  
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.

CUTTING THIN OR CORRUGATED MATERIALS  
Cutting too fast or too long in heavy material will damage the tool if the tool  
if the tool is not allowed to cool.  
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 1" from the edge of the workpiece to avoid  
injury or damage to the tool caused by thin strips of metal being pulled into the  
upper guard.  
Cutting too slow will cause excessive wear on the blade.  
CUTTING LARGE SHEETS  
This tool is intended for cutting unhardened ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal.  
The following precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of injury.  
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut  
without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind,  
causing KICKBACK.  
Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a time.  
Do not cut hardened steel.  
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you can only cut  
through the workpiece, not through the supports.  
Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe over the clamped side of  
the material.  
When cutting widths greater than 4", clamp 1" lumber to the work piece and use the  
inside edge of the shoe as a guide.  
Do not touch the blade, workpiece, chips, or chip container with bare hands  
immediately after cutting; they may be hot and could burn skin.  
POCKET CUTTING  
CUTTING MATERIALS THICKER THAN 1/4" (3/4" MAXIMUM THICKNESS)  
When cutting materials over 1/4", certain guidelines must be followed to avoid  
serious damage to the tool and/or blade. The correct combination of the following  
factors will allow for a successful cut through thicker materials:  
If the blade binds, release the trigger immediately. Do  
not move the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop. Find the cause of  
the binding before starting the saw again.  
1. Material Thickness (do not cut materials thicker than 3/4")  
If the material thickness is not shown in the chart below,  
round up to the nearest thickness listed in the chart and follow those guidelines.  
If the blade becomes pinched, twisted, misaligned or  
bound, it will stall and lift up out of the work piece, suddenly jerking back  
toward the operator. This reaction is referred to as KICKBACK.  
2. Maximum Length of Cut (the length of material in inches through which the saw  
moves between cool down periods.)
