GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from

debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
11. 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.
SKU 95004 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 3
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
15. 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
16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
17. Do not force the 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.
18. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier
to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.
22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.

23. 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
24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Circular Saw. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when
using the Circular Saw. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk
for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available
from Harbor Freight Tools.
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas
near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp
or wet location.
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work
before turning on the Circular Saw.
5. Do not force the Circular Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at
the speed and capacity for which it was designed. Do not force the Saw Blade
into the workpiece being cut.
6. WARNING! Keep hands and fingers away from cutting area and Saw
Blade.
7. Never leave the Circular Saw unattended when it is plugged into an electri-
cal outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
SKU 95004 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 5
8. Before using the Circular Saw, check to make sure the Saw Blade is prop-
erly mounted on the Spindle. Make sure the Saw Blade is sharp, and is not
cracked or bent.
9. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
10. When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly
supported.
11. When using the Circular Saw, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands.
12. Do not use the Circular Saw if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or immersed in liquid.
13. To avoid electrical shock, do not handle the Circular Saw or its Power Cord
Plug with wet hands.
14. To avoid injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when changing Saw
Blades.
15. Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects
which can damage the Saw Blade.
16. Always check to make sure there are no electrical wires or cables in the
cutting path of the Circular Saw.
17. Allow the Saw Blade to run up to full speed before feeding it into a
workpiece. When turning off the Circular Saw, allow the Saw Blade to stop on
its own. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
18. Turn off the Circular Saw and allow the Saw Blade to completely stop if the
Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
19. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Circular
Saw while it is plugged in and running.
20. NEVER stare into the Laser Beam. Never aim the Laser at any person or
animal.
21. Always ensure the Laser Beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without a
reflective surface. Bright, shiny, reflective workpieces are not suitable for Laser
use as the surface could reflect the beam back at the operator.
22. Always unplug the Circular Saw from its electrical outlet before performing
any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
