5. OPERATION
Never saw into a knot or nail.
Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting.
This helps prevent twisting the blade.
Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.
Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.
Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never force a cut.
Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced position so as to resist the
forces if kickback should occur.
WARNING: When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove the
saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set.
Using a dull blade will place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep
extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw down. Remove saw blade from the saw
and use gum and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these accumulations.
Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the
tool.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
Only use DEXTER’s blade diameter(s) in accordance with the chart below.
Diameter Teeth
6-1/2”(165mm) 18
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there for your protection and safety. Do not
alter it for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you have the guard
repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in operating position when using the saw.
DANGER: When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not cover blade on the
underside of work. Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers away
from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with moving blade will result in serious
injury.
