KNOW YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your tool until the
missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result
in possible serious personal injury.
SWITCH
Your saw is equipped with a pre-travel safety switch which
reduces the possibility of accidental starting. When you
depress the switch, you will notice the saw will not start until
you reach the pre-travel position. You must depress the
switch fully to activate the saw.
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purpose listed below)
■
Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your circular saw has a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz only. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the
motor will overheat. If your saw does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

The operation of any circular saw can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with
side shields.
