18 Cordless Circular Saw Operator's Manual
Operation
APPLICATIONS:
-Cutting various types of wood.
PRE-OPERATION:
1. Check the work area environment.
Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
2. Check if saw blade is tightened.
While the saw blade is tightened securely for immediate use when it is assembled at the
factory, be sure to check it out again for caution's sake. A bolt can be tightened when it is
turned clockwise. Use the provided box wrench to check it out. For further details, refer to
the MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE SAW BLADE.
3. Check if wing nut is tightened.
If the wing nut to adjust cutting depth (Fig. 7) is loose, injury can result. Make sure that it is
tightened securely.
4. Check performance of safety cover.
WARNING: MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE SAFETY COVER IS NOT FIXED.
ALSO, CHECK AND SEE IF IT CAN MOVE SMOOTHLY. IF THE SAW
BLADE IS KEPT EXPOSED, INJURY CAN RESULT.
The safety cover (refer to Fig. 2) serves to protect your body from coming into contact with
the saw blade. Make absolutely certain that the cover smoothly performs to cover the saw
blade. If the safety cover should not move smoothly, never use it without repairing it. In such
case, get in touch with a JOHN DEERE Authorized Service Center for necessary repair.
5. Check battery insertion.
WARNING: IF THE BATTERY IS INSERTED WHILE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE
"ON" POSITION, THE POWER TOOL WILL START OPERATING
IMMEDIATELY, INVITING SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
CAUTION: BE SURE THE BATTERY LOCKS IN PLACE WITH A LITTLE CLICK, IF
NOT, IT MAY ACCIDENTALLY FALL OUT OF THE TOOL CAUSING
INJURY TO YOU OR SOMEONE AROUND YOU.
6. Check for proper operation of the brake.
This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released.
Before using the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake functions properly. If it does not,
bring the tool to a JOHN DEERE Authorized Service Center.
7. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 6).
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface
of the lumber, place the lumber on a work bench when
cutting. If a square block is utilized as a work bench,
select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized.
An unstable work bench will result in hazardous operation.
CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENT, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE
PORTION OF LUMBER REMAINING AFTER CUTTING IS SECURELY
ANCHORED OR HELD IN POSITION.
