the same direction.
NOTE:
The saw teeth should point upward at the front of the saw, as shown in (g 6).

9. Replace the outer blade ange.
10. Depress and hold the spindle-lock button, and replace the blade screw.

Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade ange to engage with the at section of
the spindle.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The circular saw does
not work.
The saw is not connected to a power source. Connect the plug to a power source.
The blade does not follow
a straight line.
The teeth are dull. This is caused by hitting a
hard object such as a nail, dulling teeth on one
side. The blade tends to cut to the side with the
sharpest teeth.
Replace the blade.
The edge guide or straight edge is not being
used.
Use an edge guide or straight edge.
The blade binds or
smokes from friction.
The blade is dull. Replace the blade.
