Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor 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.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California 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, and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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 dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

CCAAUUSSEESS AANNDD PPRREEVVEENNTTIIOONN OOFF KKIICCKKBBAACCKK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, caus­ing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece 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 metal causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the 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:

4.Depress the Spindle Lock Button and then rotate the blade until the blade engages the lock.
5. Use the supplied wrench to loosen the blade mounting bolt (counter-clockwise).
3.Reinsert the blade cover over the saw blade. Line up the 3 mounting holes on the blade cover with mounting holes on the saw and secure the cover to the saw (smaller screw is used in the middle hole).

OPERATING THE TRIGGER SWITCH
Never tape the trigger switch down to provide
continuous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire
or personal injury.
The lock-off button helps prevent accidental starting.
This button can be pressed from either side.
THIS TOOL IS CONTROLLED BY A TRIGGER SWITCH:
• The speed of the Circular Saw
depends on the amount of pressure applied on the trigger. The further the trigger is pressed, the faster the tool will go.
• Press the lock-off button, then
pull the “ON/OFF” trigger to turn the Circular Saw “ON”. To turn the Circular Saw “OFF”, release the trigger switch. The lock-off button will automatically reset.
GENERAL CUTTING
Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your hands and feet well away from the work piece.
Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed. If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious personal injury.
Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a
broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the
work piece.
• Put on eye protection.
• Clear the saw of any foreign material.
• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise or attach to the workbench with clamps.
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.
• Check the lower guard for damage. If damaged, do not use tool.
• Always use the right blade for the material.
• Make sure all bolts, screws and locking levers are secure before starting tool.
• Pull the trigger to start the saw.
• Set the shoe against the work piece.
• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece. When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.
To reduce risk of damage to the tool or blade, do not exceed the feed rate and maximum cut time for materials thicker than 1/4".
Cutting too fast or too long in heavy material will damage the tool if the tool if the tool is not allowed to cool.
Cutting too slowly will cause excessive wear on the blade.
Page 10
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.
• Start inside the area to be cut out.
• Set the shoe against the work piece at an angle.
• Lift the blade guard.
• Pull the trigger to start the saw.
• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece. When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.

BBRRUUSSHH RREEPPLLAACCEEMMEENNTT::
The brushes are a wearing component of the tool and should be replaced prior to the carbon wearing out fully. When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will spark and/or stop and therefore need to be replaced.
This tool is intended for cutting unhardened ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal. The following precautions must be followed to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a time.
• Do not cut hardened steel.
• Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe over the clamped side of the material.
• Do not touch the blade, workpiece, chips, or chip container with bare hands immediately after cutting; they may be hot and could burn skin.
CUTTING THIN OR CORRUGATED MATERIALS
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 1" from the edge of the workpiece to avoid injury or damage to the tool caused by thin strips of metal being pulled into the upper guard.
CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not correctly supported. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK.
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you can only cut through the workpiece, not through the supports.
POCKET CUTTING
If the blade binds, release the trigger immediately. Do
not move the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop. Find the cause of the binding before starting the saw again.
If the blade becomes pinched, twisted, misaligned or
bound, it will stall and lift up out of the work piece, suddenly jerking back toward the operator. This reaction is referred to as KICKBACK.
