ofbladepinchingandkickback.Pic.3showsthewrongwayto
cut large pieces of wood, cutting in this way will cause serious
injurytotheoperator.
Whencutting, the saw should rest on the larger piece of the
materialandthesmallerpiececutoff.
Use a rip fence at all times, this will help to prevent side pressure

GUARDING AGAINST KICK BACK (PIC.4)
Kick back occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back
towardstheoperator.Toavoidkickbackkeepbladessharpand
alwayssupportlargeworkpiecescorrectly.Releasetheswitch
immediatelyifbladebindsorifthecircularsawstalls.
Do not remove the saw from a work piece while the blade is
still moving. Never place your hands or fingers behind or in
frontofthesaw(Pic4).Ifkickbackoccurs,thesawcouldjump
backwardsoveryourhand,possiblycausingsevereinjury.
Alwayslowerguardwiththeretaininghandle.Beforecuttingbe
surethatthedepthandbeveladjustmentsaretight.
Use only the correct blades for your power tool with the correct
boresize.
Neverusedefectiveorincorrectbladewashersorbolts.
Avoidcuttingnailsbyinspectingtheworkpiece,removeallnails
fromtheworkpiecebeforecutting.

Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work
piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall
offwhen thecutismade. If the workpieceisshort or small,
clampittoasuitablesupport.

completestop.
ADJUSTMENTS (PICS. 9 TO 12)
DEPTH OF CUT AT 90° (PIC.9)
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
(Pic.9).Measurethedepthrequiredfromthebaseplatetothe
highest point of the blade or use the depth gauge on the fixed
guard.(Pic.10).
ANGLE OF CUT 0-45° (PIC.11)
Locatedatthefrontofthemachineisthe0-45°lockinglever
(Pic.11). Slacken the lever and the base plate assembly will
rotate between 0-45°. Set the desired cutting angle by using
degree scale at the front of the machine and tighten the locking
lever.
Atthefrontofthebaseplatetherearetwonotchesmarked90°
and45°.Thesenotchesareaguidetoindicatethepositionof
thebladeinrelationtothecutbeingmadeinthematerial.
