WARNING: It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the
saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig.10
illustrates the correct hand positions to support the saw safely. Place the wider
portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported,
or small, clamp it to a suitable support.
FIG. 11 FIG. 12
WARNING: DO NOT TRY AND HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND.
Never attempt to saw with the Circular Saw held upside down in a vice this is
extremely dangerous and can lead to a serious accident.
Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower guard
has closed, and the blade has come to a complete stop.
ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Always ensure that the battery is disconnected from the circular
saw before carrying out any maintenance or adjustments.
DEPTH OF CUT AT 90°
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all
cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material being cut. More blade depth will
increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of
cut accuracy, a scale is located on the upper blade guard.
The Circular Saw has an adjustable depth of cut. To adjust the depth of cut, slacken
the lever located on the side of the machine, Fig.13.
1. Measure the depth required from the base plate to the highest point of the blade
or use the depth gauge on the fixed guard, Fig. 14.
2. Tighten the depth adjustment knob securely.
