encases the saw blade. Its function is to prevent the operator from coming into contact with
the saw blade.
Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece
after the saw blade passes through during a
cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the tool or workpiece
is propelled back towards the operator at a
high rate of speed.
Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every
point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the
rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw
blade).
Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect
and form right angles (i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the table surface).
Straightedge: A tool used to check the flatness,
parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).
Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the
workpiece is completely sawn through.
Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence
is used to cut with the grain.
Plunge Cut: A sawing operation in which the
cut is started above the workpiece; the blade
engages the workpiece by "plunging" down at
the beginning of the cut, and advances once
the blade cuts through the workpiece.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control. Wear hard hat as needed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
tools may cause cancer, birth defects, or longterm respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material,
always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator, and
connect tool to an appropriate dust collection
device to reduce your risk.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in
or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify
removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its intended
purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose
not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury
or death may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating tool. Do
not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that
make tool control difficult or increase the risk of
accidental injury.
FORCING TOOLS. Use the right tool for the job,
and do not force it. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.
SAFE HANDLING. Firmly grip tool. To avoid
accidental firing, do not keep finger on switch or
trigger while carrying.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Keep cutting tool edges
sharp and clean. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep tool in
good working condition. A tool that is improperly
maintained could malfunction, leading to serious
personal injury or death. Only have tool serviced
by qualified service-personnel using matching
replacement parts.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
tool for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or
mis-adjusted parts before operating tool.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected tools from power, grab and
pull the plug—NOT the cord. Carrying or pulling
the cord may damage wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, sharp edges, moving
parts, and wet/damp locations. Damaged cords
increase risk of electrocution.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of them
to operate the tool.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.

AVOID KICKBACK. Kickback is a sudden and
unexpected expulsion of the saw from the workpiece. Avoid kickback by only performing straight
cuts, properly supporting the workpiece, and
using the correct blade for the material being cut
(see Page 12).
STOPPING AND RESTARTING CUTS. Allow
blade to reach full speed before cutting. Complete
all cuts when possible. If a cut must be stopped
before completion, let blade come to a complete
stop before removing saw. Before resuming,
place blade in center of kerf and verify teeth do
not contact workpiece.
STEEL CUTTING SAFETY. Cutting steel can
produce sparks. Do not cut steel near explosive
gasses or flamable liquids.
HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.
PROPERLY MAINTAIN BLADES. Always ensure
saw blades are sharp, undamaged, and properly
installed/secured before each use.
MAINTAIN CLEARANCE UNDER WORKPIECE.
Ensure adequate clearance under workpiece
to reduce risk of blade inadvertently contacting
materials (concrete, rocks, metal, etc.) that could
break it and cause blade fragments to fly off and
hit you or bystanders.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH BLADE.
Keep hands, fingers, and power cord clear of
cutting path at all times. Never reach under workpiece near spinning blade. Never cut while supporting workpiece with one hand or balancing it
on a leg or any other body part.
USE CORRECT CUTTING DEPTH. To minimize
exposure spinning blade, set the cutting depth so
the blade protrudes no more than
1
⁄4” beyond the
backside or bottom of the workpiece
ONLY CUT CORRECT MATERIAL. Use the correct blade for the type of material being cut. Only
cut flat workpieces. Do not use this saw for cutting logs, roots, or trimming shrubs and trees (see
Page 17). Do not use water when cutting tiles or
stone, as this increases the risk of electric shock.
PROPERLY PERFORM PLUNGE CUTS. Before
making blind plunge cuts, verify the cutting path
is clear of obstructions (electrical wires, gas lines,
plumbing, metal or stone, etc.) to reduce the risk
of explosion, fire, electrocution, property damage,
or kickback. Disconnect fuses or circuit breakers,
and shut off water and gas lines located near cutting operation.
USE RECOMMENDED BLADES. Only use recommended blades for this saw. Do not use
blades with different diameters or arbor hole
shapes/sizes specified in this manual, as they
will not rotate concentrically and may damage the
saw and throw blade fragments with deadly force.
The primary risks of operating a Circular Saw are as follows: You can be seriously cut or have
your fingers amputated from contact with the spinning saw blade. You can be blinded by flying
workpiece chips, fragments, or dust from the cutting operation. To reduce your risk of serious
injury when operating this power tool, completely heed and understand the following:
Additional Safety for Circular Saws
Model T10824 (Mfd. Since 07/14)

Page 12
Understanding
• Allow blade to reach full speed before starting
the cut.
Kickback
Kickback is a sudden and unexpected expulsion
of the saw from the workpiece, which can violently propel the saw back toward the operator, resulting in accidental blade contact or impact injury.
Kickback is caused when the saw blade becomes
misaligned, pinched, bound, or comes in contact
with a material it is unable to cut. When kickback
occurs, the saw blade becomes immediately
immobile. The force produced by the motor is
diverted from the blade and transferred to the
saw, pushing it up and away from the workpiece
and potentially toward the operator.
The lack of warning and high risk of injury from
kickback makes it extremely important to: (1)
reduce the risk of kickback, and (2) protect yourself in case it does occur.
• To help prevent the blade from binding in the
workpiece: (1) keep cuts straight, (2) maintain a consistent depth and angle throughout
cut, (3) provide proper workpiece support on
both sides of the cut (see Figures 3, 4).
Workpiece
Support
Figure 3. Cutting with proper workpiece support.
Preventing Kickback
Take these precautions to help prevent the
most common causes of kickback:
• Hold saw firmly with both hands and position
arms to help resist kickback forces. Always
stand to one side of saw when operating—
never directly behind it. When kickback does
occur, it will eject the saw back toward the
operator.
• Ensure workpiece remains level and immobile throughout your cut. Do not cut warped,
cupped, or twisted workpieces. Minimize the
chances of the workpiece rocking, rotating, or
shifting, which could bind the blade and allow
kickback to occur. Clamp workpiece in place
if necessary.
• Support large panels, making sure supports
are positioned under both sides of the cutting
line.
Figure 4. Cutting with improper support.
• Follow cuts through to completion whenever
possible. If a cut must be stopped before
completion or the blade begins to bind,
release the ON/OFF trigger and hold the
saw motionless while the blade comes to a
complete stop before removing it from the
workpiece. When resuming the cut, center
your blade in the kerf and ensure that the
teeth are not touching the workpiece.
• Only use sharp, clean, undamaged blades.
Dull blades create much more friction and
resistance while cutting, which greatly
increases the risk of kickback.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

This tool is double-insulated and therefore does
not have a grounding wire or plug. The twopronged, NEMA 1-15 plug has a polarized end;
this means that one prong (the neutral connector) is wider than the other (the hot connector).
Polarized plugs must be used only with polarized
receptacles. Do not attempt to plug this tool into a
non-polarized receptacle. If a polarized receptacle
is not available, a qualified electrical technician
will have to install one before the saw can be
plugged in.
5-15 Receptacle
Extension CordsPolarized Plug
When using extension cords, make sure the cords
are rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are
marked with a "W-A" or a "W" to signify their rating. Always check to make sure that the extension
cords are in good working order and free of any
type of damage, such as exposed wires, cuts,
creased bends, or missing prongs.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
When using extension cords, always choose the
shortest cord possible, with the greatest-sized
gauge.

This machine creates substantial amounts
of dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in
permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your
risk by wearing a respirator and capturing
the dust with a dust collection system.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.

blade and out of blade path during operation. Use clamps to hold workpiece in place
if needed.
Making Plunge Cuts
Plunge cuts are made by lowering the spinning
blade into the workpiece. Plunge cuts work well
for removing an area within the workpiece without
sawing through the outer perimeter.
Making blind plunge cuts without checking
your cutting path for unseen objects could
result in injury from kickback, electrocution,
building damage or fire, gas explosions, or
death. Whenever making a blind plunge cut
into a standing structure (like a wall), always
check the cutting path for hidden wires,
nails, and other metal objects by thoroughly
scanning the area with an electric stud
finder or similar device. NEVER risk a blind
plunge cut without first checking your cutting path.
Let saw reach full speed before contacting
workpiece. Doing so will reduce risk of kickback, help provide cleanest cut, and reduce
stress on motor.
4. Engage plunge release and extend blade. To
activate saw, engage safety button and press
ON/OFF trigger while holding plunge release.
5. Move saw forward over workpiece in an
even, steady motion.
6. When finished, release ON/OFF trigger and
allow blade to come to a complete stop.
Return saw to its upright position by lifting up
on handle, allowing blade to retract and saw
to lock in place.
Whenever operating saw in vicinity of live
wires, always wear insulated gloves. Hold
saw by the insulated handle to avoid electrocution if contact with wires does occur.
Avoid unintentionally grounding yourself
when operating saw by being in contact
with electrically-conductive materials (metal
pipes, appliances, etc.).
To make plunge cuts:
1. Mark desired start and stop cut-points on
workpiece.
2. Set depth of cut (as described in Setting
Cutting Depth section on Page 19).

3. Align start cut-point with rear cutting indicator arrow (see Figure 18). This arrow marks
maximum rear cutting distance blade will
travel when fully extended.

Using Rail Track
The 24" Rail Track (Model T10825) and Accessory
Pack (Model T27044) are available for purchase
separately through our catalog and on-line.
Using your saw with the rail track allows for quick
and precise cuts with minimal setup time. Both
straight cuts and plunge cuts can be made in conjunction with the rail track.
Note: The bottom of the rail track includes an
oversized rubber lip that serves as a splinter
guard. The first time the track saw is used with
the rail, the saw blade will cut the edge of that lip
to provide a zero-clearance effect, which will help
minimize splintering.
Figure 18. Cutting indicator arrows.
Note: The front and rear cutting indicator
arrows are only accurate when the blade is
fully extended. If the saw depth gauge is set,
maximum cutting distance will be less.
4. Engage plunge release and lower blade
slightly, but without touching workpiece.
5. To activate saw, engage safety button and
press ON/OFF trigger while holding plunge
release.
6. Lower blade into workpiece until set cutting
depth is reached. Move saw forward in an
even, steady motion. When front indicator
arrow reaches stop point, the cut has been
completed.
To set up saw with rail track:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Place track on workpiece. Orient track so that
your cut-off will be to right of track.
3. When satisfied with position of rail track, use
F-clamps to secure it to workpiece, as shown
in Figure 19, and place saw onto rail track.
Figure 19. Rail track clamped to workpiece.
Allow the saw to reach full speed before
beginning the cut. Doing so will reduce risk
of kickback, provide better cutting results,
and reduce stress on the motor.

4. Configure rail adjustment knobs to minimize
play and achieve desired gliding friction (see
Figure 20). When engaged, rail adjustment
knobs can help keep saw from lifting off track.

Using Adjustable
Stop
The adjustable stop included in the Model T27044
Accessory Pack (see Figure 22) attaches to the
rail track and is positioned in front of the saw
body, to provide a stable stopping point. This can
be especially useful when making plunge cuts.
Adding Rail Tracks
Additional rail tracks (Model T10825) can be purchased and joined together for increased cutting
length. To connect multiple tracks, insert connector into inner grooves of each rail track (see Figure
21). Flip rail tracks over and slide tracks together
so that the connector is equally-distributed. Use a
straight edge to align tracks, then tighten connector set screws with a hex wrench.
