Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Work area safety 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energiz- ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. Service Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
Always allow the saw to reach full speed before beginning the cut. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES - cont’d Never use the side of the blade for cutting. When making horizontal cuts, make sure the weight of the tool is not forcing the side of the blade to do the cutting. This will reduce the risk of kickback.

the switch is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the motor. WARNING: Repair or replace damaged or worn extension cords immedi- ately. Select the appropriate extension cord gauge and length using the chart below. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W- A"...

KNOW YOUR CIRCULAR SAW ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING NOTE: For illustrative purposes, some drawings show the vacuum adaptor installed on the saw. The vacuum adaptor does NOT have to be installed if a vacuum is not being used.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING A BLADE WARNING: Always remove the plug from the power source before removing the blade or adjusting the saw in any way. WARNING: Use caution when handling the blade. It is sharp and can easily cut your hand.
Fig.1 NOTES: a)Make sure the blade teeth are pointing forward at the bottom of the blade. b)When re-installing the outer flange nut make sure the flats of the flange nut fit over the flats on the spindle. c)Turn the blade screw counter clockwise to thread it into the spindle. Make sure the screw is not cross threaded.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING SETTING THE BEVEL CUTTING ANGLE The sole plate can be set to perform bevel cuts up to 45°. 1. Rotate the bevel angle locking lever (1) counter clockwise (Fig. 3). 2. Rotate the sole plate (2) to the desired angle.
3. If the test cut is not at 90°, turn the zero adjustment lock nut (2) counter clockwise approximately % turn using a 7mm wrench. 4. Use a #2 screwdriver to turn the zero bevel adjusting screw (3) in or out until the saw is cutting at 90°...

3. Align the desired cutting width on the scale (4)with the 0° cutting mark (5) in the sole plate. Tighten the edge guide locking screw to lock the edge guide into position. NOTE: Do not over tighten as you may strip the threads. Make a test cut on a scrap workpiece to verify the edge guide setting.

2. Attach a standard workshop vacuum to the large end of the adaptor. NOTE: Not all of the cutting dust will be captured by the vacuum as some will be thrown beyond the vacuum range. Fig.6 WARNING: For safety reasons, the operator must read the sections of this Owner’s Manual entitled "GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL SAFETY", "SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES", "EXTENSION CORD SAFETY"...

3. Blade guard is in place and is in good working order. 4. Workpiece is properly secured. 5. Safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection are being worn. Failure to observe these safety rules will significantly increase the risk of injury. LOCK-OFF BUTTON AND TRIGGER SWITCH The lock-off button (1) is a safety device designed to reduce the possibility of accidentally starting the saw (Fig.
LASER ON/OFF SWITCH This saw is equipped with a laser guidance system for more precise cutting. DANGER: Never allow the laser beam to shine into a person’s eyes. Serious eye damage could result. To turn the laser ON, press the left side of the laser switch (1) (Fig. 8). To turn the laser OFF, press the right side of the laser switch.
DANGER: Any workpiece that is not adequately clamped in place or properly supported for cutting may come loose or jamb the blade, causing serious injury. Never hold the workpiece in your hand. Make sure there are no nails, screws, clamps or foreign materials in the path of the saw blade.

WARNING: To avoid loss of control, damage to the blade or damage to the workpiece, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. It is not recommended to plunge cut any material other than wood. 1. To plunge cut inside the edges of a workpiece, clearly mark the cutting line on the workpiece.

Whenever possible, install the edge guide on the left hand side of the sole plate (Fig. 11). This will place the majority of the tool weight on the larger portion of the workpiece, making it easier to control the tool. If necessary, the edge guide may be installed from the opposite side, but the edge guide mounting rod MUST engage both of the edge guide slots in the sole plate.
