NOTICE: For tool specifications refer to the nameplate on your tool.
0740034001 is a circular saw.
When operating this circular saw in cold temperatures, the user may experience slow starting.
If the circular saw speed appears slow on initial startup, allow it to run for 30 seconds before
cutting. If the circular saw does not start immediately in cold temperatures, cycle the Trigger
Switch five times until the blade begins to rotate. Upon starting, continue to run the circular
saw in the ON position for 30 seconds before attempting to cut with the circular saw. If the
circular saw does not start, ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, or bring the circular
saw and battery into a warmer environment before attempting to start again.
WARNING
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
ATTACHING THE BLADE
WARNING
(RPM) or greater. NEVER use a blade that
is so thick that it prevents the outer blade
washer from engaging with the flat side of
the spindle. Using a blade not designed for
the saw may result in serious personal injury
and property damage.
1. Press the shaft-lock button and turn the
wrench until the lock button engages.
The saw shaft is now locked. Continue to
depress button, turn the wrench clockwise
and remove the blade stud and outer
washer (Fig. 2).
2. Make sure that the saw teeth and the
arrow on the blade point in the same
direction as the arrow on the lower guard.
3. Retract the lower guard all the way up
into the upper guard. While retracting the

condition of the lower-guard spring.
4. Slide the blade through the slot in the foot
and mount it against the inner washer on
the shaft. Be sure that the large diameter
of the inner and outer washers lay flush
against the blade.
5. Reinstall OUTER WASHER. First finger
tighten the blade stud, then tighten the
blade stud 1/8 turn (45˚) with the wrench
provided.
Do not use wrenches with longer handles,
since they may lead to over tightening the
blade stud.
Always clean the spindle, upper guard, and
lower guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.
VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH
This clutching action is provided by the
friction of the outer washer against the blade
and permits the blade shaft to turn when
the blade encounters excessive resistance.
When the blade stud is properly tightened (as
described in No. 5 in Attaching the Blade), the
blade will slip when it encounters excessive
resistance, thus reducing saw's tendency to
kickback.
