CAUTION:
To make sawing easier and safer,
be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.
Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating
the motor and dangerous KICKBACK, possibly causing
severe personal injury.
It's important to understand the correct technique for
operating your saw and to learn what the correct and
incorrect ways for handling your saw.
Equally important to working safely and realizing accurate
cuts is correct preparation of the work piece and work area
prior to making the first cut with the saw.
• Hold the tool firmly with both your hands.
• Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
• Place the work piece with the "good" side down.
• Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move during
the cut.
• Place a clamp near the cut to further support the
workpiece.
• Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before
starting your saw or the cut.
CROSS CUTTING AND RIP CUTTING
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is
called cross cutting and is likely the most common type
of cut done with a circular saw. Cutting wood lengthwise,
or "with" the grain, is called rip cutting. However, it's most
often referred to simply as ripping. Both types of cuts are
performed in the same manner with the exception of the
methods used to support and secure the work piece for
cutting. After you have secured the work piece in position
with clamps or similar devices, prepared the work area,
positioned the cord so it won't be cut or become hung up,
performed the saw set up adjustments, made the necessary
measurements, drawn a straight guideline, and put on your
eye protection, you can begin the cutting operation.
• Hold the tool firmly.
• Set the front portion of the saw's base on the work piece
to be cut without the blade making any contact. Align
the line-of-cut indicator notch on the right side of the
base with your guideline.
• Turn the saw on by depressing the switch trigger and
wait until the blade reaches full speed.
• Ease the tool forward over the work piece surface,
keeping it flat and advancing smoothly while following
your guideline, until sawing is completed.
• Release the switch trigger. Wait for the blade to
completely stop. Check that the lower guard has
returned to position surrounding the blade. Now you can
safely remove the saw from the work piece and set it
down out of the way.
• To achieve clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight
and speed of advance uniform.
• If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line,
do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut
line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous
kickback and possible serious injury. Instead, release
the switch trigger, wait for the blade to stop, and then
remove the tool. Realign saw on a new cut guideline and
APPLICATION
start the cut again.
• Avoid positioning yourself so that you're in the path of
chips and wood dust being ejected from the saw.
BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel cuts are made using the same technique as
crosscuts and ripping described in the previous section.
The difference is that the blade is set at an angle (tilted)
between 0° and 45°.
A bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is
called a compound miter. Some compound cuts may
require you to manually retract the lower guard to allow the
blade to enter into and/or through the cut.
There are tools better suited for bevel and compound cuts
than the hand held circular saw. Although the inner line-
of-cut indicator notch aids the operator in following their
cut guideline, the tilted motor housing, however, obstructs
their ability to see the blade making accurate cuts difficult.
Before taking on a project with numerous compound
or bevel cuts it's suggested that the inexperienced saw
user spend time making practice cuts in scrap lumber to
become familiar with and overcome difficulties associated
with compound/bevel cutting.
POCKET CUTS
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of
the work piece rather than starting from an outside edge
and working inward. Pocket cuts can be very dangerous
for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually
retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is
potentially hazardous.
• Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
• Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
• Swing the lower blade guard up by using the lower
blade guard lever.
NOTE:
lever to avoid serious injury.
• Hold the lower blade guard by the lever.
• Rest the front of the base flat against the work piece
with the rear part of the saw elevated so the blade does
not touch the work piece.
• Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
• Guide the saw down into the work piece and make the
cut.
WARNING:
direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in the reverse
direction could cause the saw to climb up on the work
piece and back toward you.
• Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
• Lift the saw from the work piece.
• Repeat this procedure for the remaining sides, and then
clear the corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
WARNING:
guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed
could lead to serious injury.

Always raise the lower blade guard with the
