INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. Make sure the Power Switch (part #67) of the Circular Saw is in its
“OFF” position and that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before per-
forming any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Circular Saw. Check
for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, damaged electrical
wiring, dull or damaged Saw Blade (part #3), and any other condition that may
affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
4. Make sure the workpiece is supported at all times. Whenever possible, secure
the workpiece in a vise or with clamps (not included). If necessary, use a roller
stand (not included) with larger workpieces.
5. Plug the Power Cord (part #65) into the nearest 110 volt, grounded, electrical
outlet.
6. Firmly grip the Handle (parts #60, #68) with one hand and the Auxiliary Handle
(part #46) with the other hand. Then, squeeze the Safety Switch and Power
Switch (part #67) to turn on the Circular Saw. If desired, use the Switch Lock to
run the Saw in its continuous mode. (See Figure I.)
7. Allow the Saw Blade (part #3) to spin up to full speed before feeding the Saw
Blade into the workpiece. (See Figure I.)
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 (part #3) 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 remove material faster than it is designed to cut.
Feed the Saw Blade (part #3) gradually into the workpiece.
10. Turn off the Circular Saw if the Saw Blade (part #3) 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, turn off the Circular Saw and wait until the
Saw Blade (part #3) stops spinning. Then, unplug the Power Cord (part #65)
from its electrical outlet.
