Lower Blade Guard
WARNING: Laceration Hazard. The lower blade
guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of
serious personal injury. Never use the saw if the
lower guard is missing, damaged, mis-assembled
or not working properly. Do not rely on the lower
blade guard to protect you under all circumstances.
Your safety depends on following all warnings and
precautions as well as proper operation of the saw.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use as outlined in Further Safety Instructions
for all Saws. If the lower blade guard is missing or
not working properly, have the saw serviced before
using. To assure product safety and reliability,
repair, maintenance and adjustment should be
performed by an authorized service center or other
qualified service organization, always using identical
@
replacement parts.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as
wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only
operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in
place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before
@
using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, It is
important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could
cause personal injury. Figure L illustrates typical
@
hand support.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, read, understand and follow all important
safety warnings and instructions prior to using tool.

Blade Selection

Your circular saw is designed for use with 190 mm diameter
blades that have a 30 mm diameter bore. Blades must be
rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher). DO NOT use any
abrasive wheels.

General Cuts
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, remove the
battery, and follow all assembly, adjustment and set
up instructions.
Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for
the material to be cut.
● Measure and mark work for cutting.
● Support and secure work properly (refer to Supporting
Large Panels/Securing Workpiece).
● Use appropriate and required safety equipment (refer to
Additional Safety Information).
● Secure and maintain work area (refer to Safety
Instructions for All Saws).

(Original instructions)
● With battery inserted, make sure switch turns saw on
and off.
@
Sawing
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, always hold the tool with both hands.
● Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards. Refer to Further Safety
Instructions for all Saws and Kickback Causes and
Related Warnings.
● Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
● Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
● Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Hints for Optimum Use
● As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
● Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of
the workpiece.

Pocket Cutting (Fig. M)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise up off
the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made when the edge of the material
does not push the lower guard open, but the bottom edge of
the rotating blade cuts into the middle of the material.
1. Adjust the shoe (5) so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut.
3. Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip secondary
handle (4), as shown in Figure M. Position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor, allow saw to come to full speed, and then
gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests flat on the
material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until
cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
