ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accesso-
ries, or checking a function on the tool.
WARNING:
7-1/4” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to
allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. An overly thick blade will prevent the blade
bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards. Either
situation could result in a serious accident.

1. Unplug your circular saw.
2. Press down the spindle lock.
3. Using the blade wrench provided, remove the arbor bolt by turning it counterclockwise.
4. Remove the outer flange washer.
5. Lift the lower guard and slide the blade onto the spindle. The saw teeth should point upward towards the front
of the saw.
6. Replace the outer flange washer.
7. Press the spindle lock and replace the arbor bolt.
8. Tighten the arbor bolt securely by turning it clockwise with the wrench

OR
1. Unplug your circular saw.
2. Raise the lower blade guard and place the saw base on the workpiece with the saw blade positioned against the
edge.
3. Hold the saw base down on the work piece surface, then raise or lower the motor housing to obtain the desired
depth of cut using the work piece edge as a reference.

Always maintain the correct blade-depth setting. All cuts should not exceed 1/4" below the material being
cut, as excessive blade depth increases the chance of saw kickback.
