WARNING: Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered benches and 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.

• Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool

outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These

cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury,

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts. Air vents
cover moving parts and should be
avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is off before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

631798-01, CS1000L Cir Saw 12/16/05 1:14 PM Page 2

to a stable platform. Holding the work

by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of
control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct

tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventative

safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DANGER! Keep hands away from
cutting area and blade. Keep your

second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing. If both hands are

holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.

• Keep your body positioned to either
side of the saw blade, but not in line
with the saw blade. KICKBACK could

case the saw to jump backwards. (See
“Causes and Operator Prevention of
Kickback.”)

• Do not reach underneath the work.

The guard can not protect you from the
blade below the work.

• Check lower guard for proper
closing before each use. Do not
operate saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If saw is

accidentally dropped, the lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the Retracting Handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, at all angles
and depth of cut.

• Check the operation and condition of
the lower guard spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate

sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.

• Lower guard should be retracted
manually only for special cuts such
as “Pocket Cuts” and “Compound
Cuts.” Raise lower guard by
Retracting Handle. As soon as blade
enters the material, lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing,

the lower guard should operate
automatically.

• Always observe that the lower guard
is covering the blade before placing
saw down on bench or floor. An

unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.

• NEVER hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. It is

important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may

631798-01, CS1000L Cir Saw 12/16/05 1:14 PM Page 3

4

contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.

• When ripping, always use a rip
fence or straight edge guide. This

improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance for blade binding.

• Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond vs. round)
arbor holes. Blades that do not match

the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.

• Never use damaged or incorrect
blade washers or bolts. The blade

washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the workpiece toward
the operator.

• 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 operator.

• Kickback is the result of tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given
below.

a. Maintain a firm grip with both

hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to
resist KICKBACK forces. Kickback

forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are
taken.

b. When blade is binding, or when

interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the
saw motionless in the material
until the blade comes to a

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.

c. When restarting a saw in the

workpiece, center the saw blade
in the kerf and check that the saw
teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it

may walk up or KICKBACK from the
workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d. Support large panels to minimize

the risk of blade pinching and
KICKBACK. Large panels tend to

sag under their own weight. Support
must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.

e. Do not use dull or damaged

blade. Unsharpened or improperly

set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade
binding, and KICKBACK.

f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting

locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade

adjustment shifts while cutting, it
may cause binding and KICKBACK.

g. Use extra caution when making a

“Pocket Cut” into existing walls
or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause KICKBACK.

SE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products,

• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust

from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can

generate and/or disburse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from
face and body.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.

• Snagging the lower guard on a
surface below the material being cut
can momentarily reduce operator
control. The saw can lift partially out of

the cut increasing the chance of blade
twist. Ensure there is sufficient
clearance under the workpiece.

• When necessary to raise lower guard
manually, use the retracting lever.

• KEEP THE BLADES CLEAN AND
SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling

and kickback. The use of dull and/or
dirty blades can increase the saw
loading causing the operator to push
harder which promotes twisting.

DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY

FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands

away from blades. Never place hands in
front of or behind the path of the blade
while cutting. Do not reach underneath
work while blade is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.

• SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large
panels must be supported as shown
(figure 1) in this manual to minimize the
risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Material supported only at the ends
(figure 2) will lead to blade pinching.
When cutting operation requires the
resting of the saw on the workpiece, the
saw shall be rested on the larger portion
and the smaller piece cut off.

• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES AND

BLADE ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS
WHEN MOUNTING BLADES. Do not

use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade
washers or bolts. Follow blade assembly
procedures.

• ADJUSTMENTS. Before cutting be sure

depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

• SUPPORT AND SECURE THE WORK
PROPERLY. Insure that the material to
be cut is clamped (figure 3) and solidly
supported and balanced on a strong,
stable and level work surface. Support
the work so that the wide portion of the
saw shoe is on the portion of the
material that doesn’t fall after the cut is
made. Never hold cut off piece by hand
(figure 4 ). KICKBACK from blade pinch
can result. Keep both hands on saw at
all times.

• STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE
CONTROL. Keep body positioned to one

side of blade. Always maintain a firm grip
and control of saw with both hands. Do
not change hand grip or body position
while saw is running. Take precaution to
avoid injury from cut off pieces and other
falling material during operation.

DANGER: RELEASE SWITCH
IMMEDIATELY IF BLADE BINDS OR
SAW STALLS

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

• KICKBACK CAN BE CAUSED BY the

saw blade becoming pinched, twisted or
bound while cutting, or when the saw
stalls. When 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 cut and move
suddenly back toward the operator.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK

• Keep a firm grip on saw with both hands
at all times.

• Stay alert – exercise control.

• Support long overhanging materials. As
the material is cut and weakens, it will
sag, causing a pinched blade.

• Support large panels as shown (Fig. 1).
Material supported only at the ends (Fig.

2) will lead to blade pinching.

• Avoid sawing overhead. Material can
sag and will pinch blade.

• Keep blades sharp and clean.

• Use fence or straight edge guide when
ripping. Be careful as the cut off strip can
sag or twist, closing the cut and pinching
the blade, leading to KICKBACK.

• Don’t force tool. Wood variables such as
knots, hardness, toughness, wetness,
pressure treated and freshly cut green
lumber can heavily load the saw which
can lead to stalling. Push the saw slower
when this occurs.

• Don’t remove saw from work during a cut
while the blade is moving.

• Allow saw to reach full speed before
blade contacts material to be cut.
Starting the saw with the blade against
the work or pushed forward into cut can
lead to stalling or sudden backward
movement of saw.

• Never attempt to lift saw when making a
bevel cut. This leads to blade binding
and stalling.

• Always secure work to prevent
workpiece movement during cut.

• Do not try to force saw back on line if
your cut begins to go off line. This can
cause KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow
blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw
from cut and start a new cut on the line.

• Set depth adjustment of saw such that

one tooth of the blade projects below the
workpiece as shown in (figure 6).

• Do not back up a rotating blade in the
cut. Twisting the saw can cause the
back edge of the blade to dig into the
material, climb out of the work and run
back toward the operator.

• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before
cutting.

LASER LINE

Your saw is equipped with a removable
laser which is turned on and off
separately from the saw. Laser is
compatible with CS1000L circular saw.

WARNING: Never aim the beam at a

workpiece with a reflective surface.

Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or
similar reflective surfaces are not
recommended for laser use. Reflective
surfaces could direct the beam back
toward the operator.

DANGER: LASER RADIATION.
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Do
not stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or
object other than the workpiece. Laser

light can damage your eyes.

WARNING: DO NOT use tinted
glasses to enhance the laser light.

Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision
for the application and interfere with the
normal operation of the tool.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Ensure laser on/off switch is in the full off
position. Remove the battery
compartment cover by lifting tab end as
shown in figure 12. Insert two fresh AA

alkaline batteries making sure to match
(+) and (-) terminals correctly (molded
into battery compartment cover.) Replace
the battery compartment cover.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or

leak, and can cause injury or fire. To

reduce this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and
warnings on the battery label and
package.

• Do not short battery terminals.

• Do not charge batteries.

• Remove dead battery immediately and
dispose of per local codes.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Remove battery if the device will not be
used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause
fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials
such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material
Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and
carryon luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.

TO USE LASER LINE ON SAW

• Mark the line that you intend to cut on
the workpiece.

• Adjust the depth and angle of cut as
required.

• Switch the laser to the “ON” position
and project the laser beam as shown in
figure 14.

• Plug in the saw and squeeze the
trigger.

• Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed and place the saw on the
workpiece. Align the laser line with the
mark on the workpiece and slowly push
the saw forward keeping the laser line
on the mark.

• Upon completion of the cut, release the
trigger and allow the saw blade to
come to a complete stop before
switching off the laser.

TO USE LASER OFF SAW

The laser can be removed from the saw
and used for a variety of different
applications.

To use the laser off the saw, fold down
the front leg as shown in figure 15.

The laser can also be used in conjunction
with the protractor in three different ways:

(1)

360 degrees -

To project the laser line
any direction in a complete circle, 1st
retract the front leg and then insert the
two back legs into the groove of the
protractor as shown in figure 16.

(2)

Fixed Position -

To use the laser in
the fixed position, place the rear legs in
the holes on the protractor. Refer to
figure 17 for the angles created when
using the laser in these holes.

(3)

Protractor on Edge of Workpiece -

To use the laser on the edge of your
workpiece, rotate the legs of the
protractor so that they are straight up and
down as shown in figure18. Place the
protractor against the edge of the
workpiece and center the large hole of
the protractor over the intended line of
cut.

POCKET CUTTING

POCKET CUTTING IS USED TO CUTA
HOLE IN APIECE OF MATERIAL
WITHOUT CUTTING FROM THE SIDE.

• Measure and mark work.

• Tilt saw forward and rest front of the
shoe on material to be cut. Align so
that cut will begin at the back of the
drawn rectangle shown in figure 19.

• Using the retracting lever, retract
blade guard to an upward position,
with the blade just clearing the
material, start motor and gradually
lower the saw into the material.

WARNING: As blade starts cutting
the material, release the retracting lever
immediately.

• Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position.

• When the shoe rests flat on the
material being cut, complete the cut in
forward direction.

• Allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before lifting saw from material.

• When starting each new cut, repeat
the above steps.

WRENCH STORAGE

The blade wrench can be stored on the
saw shoe as shown in figure 20.

RIPPING

Your saw is not equipped with a rip fence.
If installing a rip fence, insure the fence
fits snug in slots.

If you do not have a proper fitting fence,
use a straight edge guide in contact with
the edge of the shoe to improve accuracy
of cut and reduce the possibility of binding
and kickback.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to
clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part
of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (other
than those listed in this manual) should
be performed by authorized service
centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical
replacement parts.
