saw could result in accidental starting, which
can cause serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Determine the desired depth of cut.
3. Locate the depth-of-cut scale on the right
side of the bracket.
4. Hold the base of the saw flat against the
edge of the workpiece, and then raise or lower
the saw until the indicator aligns with the de-
sired depth-of-cut mark.
5. Adjust the depth of cutting.
STARTING A CUT
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: with one hand operating the
trigger switch and the other on the front assist
handle.
Correct posi-
tion of hands
on circular
saw.
To Help Maintain Control:
Always support the workpiece near the cut.
Always support the workpiece so the cut will
be on your right.
Always clamp the workpiece so it will not
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
workpiece 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 accident
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 thick-
nesses of blades vary,
