Important:
The No Load Speed of the saw is
4800 RPM. The saw blade to be fitted must be
rated higher than 4800 RPM.
Replacement blades are available from
Black & Decker.
Operating the Circular Saw
To operate the circular saw, ensure the plug is
connected to a standard electrical outlet with
the switch turned on.
To turn the saw “On”, depress the small lock
off button on the side of the handle and then
squeeze the On/Off trigger .
To stop the saw, release the trigger switch.
Holding the Circular Saw
It is important when operating the circular saw
that the operator is always in complete control.
The saw is fitted with two handles, one at
the rear and one at the front. It is always
recommended to use both handles when using
the saw.
The front handle is positioned to guide the saw
along the path to be cut.
Workpiece Support
The above diagram shows proper sawing
position. Note that the hands are kept away
from the cutting area.
Warning!
It is important to support the
work properly and to hold the saw firmly to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
Place the work with the good side, the one on
which appearance is most important – down.
The saw cuts upward, so any splintering will
be on the work face that is up when you saw it.
Improper Support
A. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off
piece will cause pinching of the blade.
B. Cutting through material supported at the
outer ends only. As the material weakens
it sags, closing the kerf and pinching the
blade.
