IMPORTANT: This tool should only be serviced only by a qualified service technician. IMPORANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for circular saw Model HACS120. DANGER To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, carefully follow these operating instructions. - Page 5 SAFETY INFORMATION Work Area Safety • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Page 6 SAFETY INFORMATION • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Page 7 SAFETY INFORMATION • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations. Service • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
- Page 8 SAFETY INFORMATION • 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. • 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 wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

- Page 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. Kickback Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back toward the operator. Blade stalling is caused by any action that pinches the blade in the wood. DANGER! Release the switch Kickback—Blade is set too deep immediately if the blade binds or the saw stalls.
- Page 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades. • Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut. Never force a cut. • Do not cut warped or wet lumber. • Hold the saw firmly with both hands, and maintain a balanced position to resist the forces if kickback should occur DANGER! When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control.
