Fig. C
Pocket Cuts
1. Tilt the saw forward with the cutting guide notch of the base plate on the line drawn
for the cut.
2. Raise the blade guard with the blade guard lever.
3. With the saw blade just above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the
saw blade to come to full speed.
4. Gradually lower the saw blade onto the stock using the front end of the base plate
as a pivot point.
5. When the cutting begins, release the blade guard.
6. When the base plate is resting flat on the stock being cut, proceed cutting in a
forward direction to the end of the cut.
7. When the cut is complete, release the trigger switch and wait for the saw blade to
come to a stop before lifting the saw out of the cut.
8. If necessary, complete the cut from the opposite direction in the same manner
described above.
Caution: Never pull the saw backwards since the saw blade will climb out of the
cut and kickback will occur.
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the circular saw. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before
further use.
Before remounting the saw blade, remove all sawdust that has accumulated
around the safety guard.
Regularly inspect and tighten all mounting screws and knobs.
Keep saw blade clean and sharp. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
Keep guards in good working order.
Keep motor air vent clean of dust and debris. Vacuum periodically.
If the tool is not operating normally, making unusual noises, or appears defective,
stop using it immediately and get it repaired.
Clean tool with a damp cloth and light detergent. Do not use solvents as they can
damage and crack the plastic parts.
