Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the work piece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made. As examples, Fig. 11 illustrates the RIGHT
way to cut off the end of board, and Fig. 12 the
WRONG way. If the work piece is short or small,
clamp it down.
DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

CUTTING PROCEDURES
WARNING:
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Never touch the moving parts.
As shown in Fig. 8, be sure to hold the round
handle securely with both hands when cutting.
Contact with "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator. In addition, make sure to secure the
work piece with a clamp when cutting.
Should the saw blade be stopped or make an
abnormol noise during operation, turn off the
switch immediately.
Don't remove circular saw from work piece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut
and near the edge of the panel as shown in Fig. 9.
To minimize the risk of blade pinching and
kickback. When cutting operation requires the
resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall
be rested on the larger portion and the smaller
piece cut off.
