Batteries for Laser
1. Unthread the Screw holding the
Battery Cover in place.
2. Remove the Screw and Battery Cover.
3. Install 2 AAA batteries matching polarity
with markings on compartment.
4. Replace the Battery Cover and secure in place with
the Screw.
Dust Collector
1. Connect a Dust collection system (sold separately)
to the Dust Chute on the Stationary Guard.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Work piece selection:
a. Work piece must be free of foreign
objects and loose knots.
b. Do not use to cut logs, tree
limbs, or uneven lumber.
c. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber,
and pressure treated lumber all have an
increased potential for kickback and should
only be cut with a blade designed for cutting
that lumber. Wear a NIOSH‑approved
respirator and have appropriate ventilation
whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
2. Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
3. Route the power cord along a safe route
to reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the power cord
to possible damage. The power cord must
reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
4. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
5. Verify that there are no utility lines or
hardware in or near the workpiece.
This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
General Operating I nstructions
1. Make all necessary depth and angle
adjustments to the Circular Saw.
2. Make sure that all guards are in place in
proper working order and that all adjustment
knobs are tight before operation.
3. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest
120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
4. Press the Laser Switch to ON (I).
5. Firmly grip the Handle with one hand and
the Auxiliary Handle with the other hand.
Squeeze and hold the Trigger Lock, then
the Trigger to turn on the Circular Saw.
6. Release the Trigger Lock.
7. Allow the Saw Blade to reach full speed before
feeding the Saw Blade into the workpiece.
8. Make straight cuts only. Do not attempt to twist
the Circular Saw to the right or left while cutting.
If this occurs, the Saw Blade will “bind” in the
workpiece causing kickback, potential injury, and/
or damage to the workpiece and Circular Saw.
9. Do not force the Circular Saw to cut faster
than it is designed to cut. Feed the Saw
Blade gradually into the workpiece.
10. Turn off the Circular Saw if the Saw Blade is to be
backed out of an uncompleted cut. When turning
off the Circular Saw, allow the Saw Blade to fully
stop on its own before removing the Circular Saw.
Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
11. Once the cutting job is completed, release the
Trigger and wait until the Saw Blade stops
spinning. Turn the Laser Switch OFF (O).
12. To prevent accidents, unplug the Power Cord
from its electrical outlet. Clean, then store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
