move during the cut. Place the workpiece with
the good side down.
NOTE: The good side of the workpiece is the
side where appearance is important.
2. Before starting a cut, draw a guideline along
the desired line of cut, then place the front
edge of the saw base on that part of the work-
piece that is solidly supported.
Never place the saw on the part of the work-
piece that will fall off when the cut is made.
Always keep the cord away from the cutting
area. Always place the cord so that it does not
hang up on the workpiece when making a cut.
3. Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
WARNING: If the cord hangs up on the work-
piece during a cut, release the trigger switch
immediately. To avoid injury, unplug the saw
and move the cord to prevent it from hanging
up again.
DANGER: Using the saw with a damaged
cord could result in serious injury or death. If
the cord has been damaged, have it replaced
before using the saw again.
4. Depress the trigger switch to start the saw.
5. Always let the blade reach full speed before
you begin the cut into the workpiece.
6. When making a cut, always use steady, even
pressure. Forcing the saw causes rough cuts
and could shorten the life of the saw or cause
Kickback.
7. After completing your cut, release the trig-
ger switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop. Do not remove the saw from
the workpiece while the blade is moving.
DANGER: When sawing through a work-
piece, the lower blade guard does not cover
the blade on the underside of the workpiece.
Always keep your hands and fingers away from
the cutting area. Any part of your body coming
in contact with the moving blade will result in
serious injury.
MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS
WARNING: Always securely clamp and sup-
port the workpiece. Always maintain proper
control of the saw. Failure to clamp and sup-
port the workpiece and loss of control of the
saw could result in serious injury.
WARNING: Always maintain proper control
of the saw to make sawing safer and easier.
Loss of control of the saw could cause an ac-
cident resulting in possibly serious injury.
1. Always use your saw with your hands posi-
tioned correctly.
2. When making cross or rip cuts, align your
line of cut with the left side of the notch by
the 0° indicator.
3. Since the thicknesses of blades vary, make
a trial cut in scrap material along the guide-
line to determine how much, if any, you should
offset the blade from the guideline to allow
for the kerf of the blade and make an accurate
cut.
INTEGRATED CROSSCUT RULER
A ruler for measuring cross cuts is marked
along the front of the saw base.
MAKING RIP CUTS
Always use a guide when making long or wide
rip cuts with your saw. You can use either a
straight edge or use the edge guide that was
included with your saw.
USING A STRAIGHT EDGE
WARNING: Always securely clamp and sup-
port the workpiece. Always maintain proper
control of the saw. Failure to clamp and sup-
port the workpiece, combined with loss of con-
trol of the saw, could result in serious injury.
You can make an efficient rip guide by clamp-
ing a straight edge to your workpiece.
1. Always allow the blade to reach full speed,
and then carefully guide the saw into the
workpiece. Do not bind the blade in the cut.
Correct position of
hands on circular saw.
