Adjusting the Saw Prior to Cutting
Step 1)
To adjust the angle of the Saw Blade up to 50° loosen the Bevel Adjustment
Knob (part #50) and move the Shoe (part #53) down paying attention to the
degrees indicated on the angle scale (See Figure 4). Once set, retighten the
Bevel Adjustment Knob (part #50).
Step 2)
To adjust the depth of the cut, loosen the Depth Adjustment Knob (part #7)
(See Figure 4). Move the Shoe (#53) down while observing the amount
of Saw Blade exposed under the Shoe (#53). Once adjusted, tighten the
Depth Adjustment Knob (#7).
Prepare Material Before Cutting
Step 1)
Support large panels to minimize the risk of pinching the Saw Blade and to
reduce the risk of kickback.
Step 2)
Use the Rip Fence (part #49) when ripping material.
Step 3)
Securely clamp the work piece to be cut to the workbench.
Step 4)
Make sure the Saw does not cut into the supports or the workbench.
Note:
Use the appropriate type of Saw Blade for the material you are cutting.
Operation
Before operating your Circular 6-1/2" Saw, it will be helpful to refer to each of the photos and illustrations shown
in this manual, as well as to the Parts List on page 8 and Assembly Diagram on page 9.
Cutting
Step 1)
Position the Rip Fence (part #49) to guide the Saw on a straight path.
Step 2)
With your left hand resting on the front portion of the Body (part #9/13), position your right hand
on the upper portion of the handle portion of the Body (directly above the Trigger/Safety).
Step 3)
Place the front edge of the Shoe (part #53) on the front edge of the material to be cut. Align
the front notch (right notch aligns with the Saw Blade) on the cut line.
Step 4)
Pull the Safety (part #18) back with the middle finger and squeeze the Trigger
(part #20) with the index finger. Do this before the Saw Blade touches the
work piece.
Step 5)
With the Saw at full speed, move it slowly forward to start the cut.
Step 6)
When the cut is complete, release the Trigger (part #20). Do not set the
Saw down until the Saw Blade stops turning.
