• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold
the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-
tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade bind-
ing.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
• To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kick-
back. When cutting operation requires the resting
of the saw on the workpiece, the saw should be
rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece
cut off. (Fig. 2 & 3)
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-
ened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back. 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.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback. For plunge cuts, retract lower guard
using retracting handle.
• ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the
saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump
backwards over your hand, leading to serious per-
sonal injury. (Fig. 4)
• Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can
cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and pos-
sible kickback. Push the saw forward at a speed
so that the blade cuts without slowing.
10. Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open posi-
tion. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut. To check lower guard, open lower
guard by hand, then release and watch guard clo-
sure. Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is
VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious per-
sonal injury.

11. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating prop-
erly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
12. Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts." Raise lower guard by retract-
ing handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released. For
all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
13. Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released. Before setting the tool
down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower
guard has closed and the blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
14. Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade
being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be
thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than
the tooth set of the blade.
15. Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in preventing kickback.
16. Always use the riving knife except when plunge
cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after plunge
cutting. Riving knife causes interference during
plunge cutting and can create kickback.
17. For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
18. Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of
a guard.
19. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth
advancement of tool without decrease in blade
speed.
20. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
21. 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 the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the
WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small,
clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT
PIECES BY HAND! (Fig. 5 & 6)
22. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely danger-
ous and can lead to serious accidents. (Fig. 7)
23. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
24. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the
saw blade.
25. Always use blades recommended in this manual.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
