NOTE
When using the saw at the inclination of 45 degrees,
use both the marks of on the bevel plate and [45] on
the inclined gauge of the base (Fig. 28).
What’s more, if it is absolutely essential to use the
saw at a precise angle, make adjustment using a
protractor, etc.

(3) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes in contact with the
lumber. The switch is turned ON when the trigger
switch is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger switch
is released. Moving the saw straight at a constant
speed will produce optimum cutting. (Fig. 29)

CAUTION
●
Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade
has reached full speed revolution.
●
When
fi
nished with a job, pull out the battery
from the main body.
●
To avoid abnormal heating of the blade tip or
damage to the saw blade, do not twist or apply
excessive force to the saw blade when cutting.
Let the blade move forward smoothly.
●
In the situation where the circular saw is
continuously operated while replacing the
battery with stocked spare batteries one after
another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore,
whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw
a break for a while.
●
Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base
bottom is a
fl
oat from the material being cut.
Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
6. Ripping
cut
WARNING
To avoid serious accident, make sure that the
guide (rip fence) does not touch the saw blade
before use.
Ripping means to cut wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Therefore, it is
recommended to use the HiKOKI guide (rip fence)
(optional accessory, refer to page 29) to provide the
support and cut boards into the same width. (Fig. 30)

7. Pocket
cutting
WARNING
●
Never secure the lower guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the saw to raise
up o
ff
the work surface which could cause injury.
●
To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is in
the OFF position, and pull out the battery before
any adjustment.
●
Never tie or wedge the lower guard in a raised
position.
