Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hard board)
 Cross cutting/rip cutting
 Bevel cutting
 Pocket cutting
NOTE: The use of abrasive cut-off wheels is not recom-
mended for this saw.
KICKBACK
See Figures 5 - 8, page 18.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such
as the following:
 Setting blade depth incorrectly
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece
 Twisting the blade while making a cut
 Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade
 Supporting the workpiece incorrectly
 Forcing a cut
 Cutting warped or wet lumber
 Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool

OPERATION

To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
 Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
 Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
 Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.
 Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make
cuts with dull blades.
 Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.
 Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
 Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body
in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback
should occur.
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise con-
trol. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the
blade is moving.
SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not
kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will
place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades
are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw
down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum and
pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these ac-
cumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 9, page 18.
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there
for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason.
If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you
have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in
operating position when using the saw.
DANGER:
When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not
cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is
exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers
away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming
in contact with moving blade will result in serious injury.
