SPECIFICATIONS
• Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without
notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for performing lengthways and
crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to
Circular Saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
DANGER:
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade
stops before grasping cut material.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to stable
platform.
It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
