CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may
be bent, restricting full return.
3. Do not use blades which are deformed or
cracked.
4. Do not use blades made of high speed steel.
5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades minimize stall ing an d ki ck b ac k.
7. DANGER: Keep Hands Away From Cutting
Area. Keep hands away from blades. Don’t
reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Don’t attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
8. Support Large Panels. (Fig.1 & 2)
Large panels must be supported as shown in
Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback.
When cutting operation requires the resting
of the saw on the workpiece, the saw sh al l b e
rested on the larger portion and the smaller
piece cut off.
9. Use Rip Fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide
when ripping.
10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)
Kickback occurs when the s aw stalls rap idly

12. Adjustments.
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
13. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.
Don’t use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
14. Avoid Cutting Nails.
Inspect fo r and rem ove all na ils from lumber
before cutting.
15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it
will not be caught on the workpiece during
the cutting operation.
Operate with proper hand support, proper
workpiece support, and supply cord routing
away fr om the work area.
WARNING:
It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firm ly to pre vent loss
of control which could cause personal injury.
Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the
saw.
16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made.
As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way
to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the
WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or
small, clamp it down. DON’T TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND! (Fig. 6)
17. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise . This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to se riou s acciden ts .
(Fig. 7)
18. Before setting the tool down after completing
a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping)
guard has closed and the blade has come to
a complete stop.
