Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall
off when the cut is made. As examples,
Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off

way. If the workpiece is short or small,
clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is
extremely dangerous and can lead to seri-

WARNING: Blade coasts to stop after

guard has closed and the blade has come
to a complete stop.
