Line-of-Cut Indicators

•  Line-of-cut indicator notches are provided at the front of the saw base.
•  The right notch is used to follow a line when making a 0° cut.
•  The left notch is used to follow a line when making a 45° bevel cut.
•  Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts in scrap material, along a guideline, to determine proper alignment of the guideline  
 

within the notch to obtain an accurate cut.

Installing the Rip Guide

When cutting lumber lengthwise you are usually cutting “with” the wood’s grain rather then across the grain.  Cutting “with” the grain of wood is called 
“ripping” or a rip cut.  Since rip cuts tend to be lengthy it can be difficult to accurately follow the guideline the entire distance of the cut.  To assist the 
operator to obtain a straight rip cut, a straight edge can be clamped to the work piece or the supplied optional rip guide can be used.  To install the 
optional rip guide on your saw, perform the following steps.

•  uNPLuG THe SAW FROM THe POWeR SOuRCe.
•  Insert the rip guide through all three slots in the saw base at the front of the saw, starting with slot in the right side edge of the base.
•  Slide the guide through the slots until it extends out the left side of the base.
•  Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and then securely tighten the thumbscrew in the center slot to hold the rip guide in position.

 

 

CAUTiOn:

 

To avoid personal injury and damage to the work piece, extend the rip guide through all slots in the base.

Starting and Stopping the Saw

To start the saw:
•  Pull the switch trigger.
•  Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece.

 

 

WArninG:

The blade coming into contact with the work piece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KiCKBACK 
towards you resulting in serious personal injury.

To stop the saw:
•  Release the switch trigger.
•  Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
•  Do not remove your saw from the work piece while the blade is still moving.

Using the Laser Feature:

 

WArninG:

Laser light can cause severe eye damage: Never look directly into the laser beam. Do not point the laser beam at other people or animals, either directly 
or through refective surfaces.
The laser feature on your circular saw is powered by two AAA Batteries (included). To make the Laser feature operational, insert the batteries into the 
Battery Compartment. The Laser feature clearly shows you an extended cut-line, even over debris on the workpiece. Turn it on with the laser light on/off 
switch right before cutting. Turn it off immediately after use to conserve battery and laser life.

Operating the Saw

 

 

CAUTiOn:

 

To make sawing easier and safer, be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.  Forcing or twisting the tool 
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous KiCKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.

It’s important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and incorrect ways for handling your saw.  
equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the work piece and work area prior to making the first cut with 
the saw.
•  Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the front grip and rear handle.
•  Avoid placing your hand on the work piece while making a cut.
•  Place the work piece with the “good” side down.
•  Set-up and support the work piece so the cut is always on your right so the larger left side of the saw’s base will be on the part that DOeS NOT fall  
 

off when the cut is made.

•  Securely clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.
•  Place a clamp near the cut to further support the work piece.
•  Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before starting your saw or the cut.
•  Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area.  Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work piece and you from standing  
 

or tripping on the cord while cutting.
