20V 6-1/2" CIRCULAR SAW 17
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Blade-guide notch
For a 0° cut, align your line of cut
with the left notch in the foot at the 0°
indicator.
For 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut
with the right notch at the 45° indicator.
The Blade-guide notch will give an
approximate line of cut. Make sample
cuts in scrap lumber to verify the actual
line of cut. This will be helpful because
of the number of different blade types
and thicknesses available. To ensure
minimum splintering on the good side of
the material to be cut, face the good side down.
8. Installing and Using the Vacuum
Adapter
a) The vacuum adapter allows for
connection to a 1-1/4 in. diameter
vacuum hose to help keep the
work area clean. Remove the
battery pack.
b) Align the hole on the upper
blade guard with the vacuum
adapter.
c) Install the srew and tighten it
with a Philips- screwdriver (no
provided)
d) Remove the adapter when cut
without the vacuum.
