to start the saw. Always allow the blade to
reach full speed, then guide the saw into the
workpiece.
6. After completing your cut, release the trig-
ger switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop in the cut. Do not remove the
saw from the workpiece while the blade is
moving. It will damage your bevel cut and
cause kickback.
WARNING: If the blade comes in contact with
the workpiece before it reaches full speed, it
could cause the saw to kickback towards you,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
MAKING POCKET CUTS
WARNING: Always adjust the bevel setting
to zero before making a pocket cut. Attempt-
ing a pocket-cut at any other setting can result
in a loss of control of the saw, which can result
in serious injury.
1. Adjust the bevel setting to zero, set the
blade to the correct blade depth setting, then
use the lower blade guard lever to swing the
guard up.
WARNING: Always use the lever to raise the
lower blade guard to avoid serious injury.
2. While holding the
lower blade guard up
by the lever, firmly
rest the front of the
saw base flat against
the workpiece with
the rear handle raised
so that the blade don't touch the workpiece.
3. Depress the trigger switch to start the saw.
Always allow the blade to reach full speed, and
then slowly lower the blade onto the work-
piece until the base is flat against the work-
piece.
4. You must release the lower blade guard le-
ver as the blade enters the material.
5. After you complete the cut, release the trig-
ger switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop. After the blade has stopped,
remove it from the workpiece.
6. If the corners of your pocket cut are not
completely cut through, use a hand finishing
saw to finish the corners.
WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard
in the raised position. Leaving the blade ex-
posed could result in serious injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability,
all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service center.
WARNING: For your safety, always turn off
the switch and unplug the hypoid circular saw
from the power source before performing any
maintenance or cleaning.
It has been found that electric tools are sub-
ject to accelerated wear and possible prema-
ture failure when they are used to work on
fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abra-
sive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, it is not recommended that
this tool be used for extended work on any
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling com-
pound, or plaster. During use on these materi-
als, it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power-
tool operations, or when blowing dust. If op-
eration is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with
plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken,
or destroy plastic, which may result in serious
personal injury.
Periodic maintenance allows for long life and
trouble-free operation. A cleaning, lubrication
and maintenance schedule should be main-
tained. As a common preventive maintenance
practice, follow these recommended steps:
• When work has been completed, clean the
tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool
over time.
• Use clean, damp cloths to wipe the tool.
• Check the state of all electrical cables.
• Keep the motor's air openings free from oil,
grease, and sawdust or woodchips, and store
the tool in a dry place.
