LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use right side of notch
in the foot. For 45° bevel cuts, use the left side
(Fig. 9). The cutting guide notch will give an
approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts in
scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut. This
will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum splintering on
the good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT
(Models 5480 & 5485 only)
When you plug your tool into the power
source, the power indicator light will go "ON"
indicating the tool is receiving power (Fig. 1).
When starting the tool,
W RNING
hold it with both hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool "ON", squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
Always be sure either hand
W RNING
does not interfere with the
free movement of the lower guard.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.

After completing a cut and
W RNING
the
released, be aware of the necessary time it
takes for the blade to come to a complete
stop during coast down. Do not allow the
saw to brush against your leg or side,
since the lower guard is retractable, it
could catch on your clothing and expose
the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade
exposures that exist in both the upper and
lower guard areas.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:
squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to
reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
CUTTING MASONRy/METAL
This tool is not designed for use with metal or
masonry cut-off wheels.
Do not use abrasive wheels
W RNING
with circular saws. Abrasive
dust may cause lower guard to fail.
