OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Cutting with the Circular Saw
Refer to the figures in this section to learn the
correct and incorrect ways of handling the saw.
WARNING
• To make sawing easier and safer, always
maintain proper control of the saw. Loss of
control could cause an accident resulting in
serious injury.
• When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the
blade is exposed on the underside of the saw
until the lower blade guard closes. Make sure
that the lower blade guard is closed before
setting the saw down.
To make the safest and best possible cut, follow
these helpful hints:
a. Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
b. Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece
while making a cut (Fig. 8a).
c. Support the workpiece so that the cut is always
to the operator's side and not directly in line
with the operator's body.
d. Support the workpiece near the cut.
e. Clamp the workpiece securely so that the
workpiece will not move during the cut
(Fig. 8b).
f. Always place the saw on the portion of the
workpiece that is supported, and not on the
"cut off" piece (Fig. 8c).
g. Place the workpiece with the "good" side
down.
h. Draw a guideline along the desired cutting line
before beginning the cut.
i. Rest the front edge of the base shoe (V) on
the workpiece without touching the blade to
the workpiece
j. Depress the trigger switch (A) to start the saw.
k. Allow the blade (J) to reach full speed, then
guide the saw into the workpiece and make
the cut.
l. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop.
m. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
NOTICE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
