20V 6-1/2" CIRCULAR SAW 19
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10. Rip Cutting Using a Straight Edge
a) Secure the workpiece.
b) Clamp a straight edge (not
included) to the workpiece using
C-clamps (not included).
NOTICE:
Position the C-clamps so that
they will not interfere with the saw
housing during the cut.
c) Rest the front edge of the foot on
the workpiece without touching
the blade to the workpiece.
d)
Depress the trigger switch to start
the saw.
e) Allow the blade to reach full
speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
f) Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
g) Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
h) Lift the saw from the workpiece.
NOTICE:
Do not bind the blade in the cut.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that neither hand interferes with the free
movement of the lower guard.
CAUTION:
After completing a cut and releasing the trigger, be aware of the
necessary time it takes for the blade to come to a complete stop during coast down.
Do not allow the saw to brush against your leg or side. Since the lower guard is
retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Be aware of the
necessary blade exposures that exist in both the upper and lower guard areas.
11. Bevel Cutting
To make the best possible cut:
a) Remove the battery pack from the
saw.
b) Adjust the angle of cut to any
desired setting between 0° and
52°. Securely tighten the bevel-
adjustment knob.
