27. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
(Fig. 7)
28. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
29. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the
saw blade.
30. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
31. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use
of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper
guarding of the blade or guard operation which could
result in serious personal injury.
32. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first
removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and
pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use
gasoline.
33. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to
follow the safety rules stated in this instruction
manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move
the blade lower limit stopper to the desired depth on the
scale plate. At the desired depth of cut, tighten the
clamping screw firmly.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper
cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
NOTE:
• Setting the blade lower limit stopper to the desired
depth on the scale plate allows rough depth of cut.
For accurate depth of cut, measure the actual
protrusion of saw blade below the tool base.
Quick stop button for 2 to 3 mm depth of
cut when using guide rail (accessory)
(Fig. 9 & 10)
This tool has the quick stop button for 2 to 3 mm depth of
cut on the gear housing aside the rear handle when using
guide rail. This is used when avoiding splinter on the
workpiece in the cut. Make a pass of the 2 to 3 mm first
cut and then make another pass of usual cut.
To obtain the 2 to 3 mm depth of cut, push in the stop
button toward the saw blade. This is convenient for
avoiding splinter on the workpiece.
To release the depth of cut from this position for free
depth of cut, just pull the button back.
Bevel cutting (Fig. 11)
Tilting to the right (Fig. 12 & 13)
Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points one
of two positions (vertical for 22.5°, horizontal for 45°).
Loosen the clamping screws in front and back. Then, tilt
the tool base until it stops and secure the base with the
clamping screws.
To get 48° bevel angle, move the lever to 48° marking as
far as it will go. Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow
on it points to the horizontal position. Then, tilt the tool
base until it stops and secure the base with the clamping
screws.
Tilting to the left (Fig. 14)
The tool can be tilted to the left 1° bevel angle. To get the
left 1° bevel angle, loosen the clamping screws in front
and back, tilt the tool handle slightly to the right and push
two bevel angle shifting levers at the same time in the
direction of arrow which has a marking -1. And then tilt the
tool handle to the left while pushing these two levers at
the same time. Secure the base with the clamping screws.
NOTE:
• Returning the blade to the right angle makes the
shifting lever return to 0° by itself.
Sighting (Fig. 15)
When using the tool without guide rail (accessory)
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B
position with it.
When using the tool with guide rail (accessory)
For both straight cuts and 45° bevel cuts, always align the
A position on the front of the base with your cutting line.
Switch action (Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, push
in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 17)
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
