POCKET CUTTING
If the blade binds, release the trigger immediately. Do
not move the saw until the blade comes to a complete stop. Find the cause of
the binding before starting the saw again.
If the blade becomes pinched, twisted, misaligned or
bound, it will stall and lift up out of the work piece, suddenly jerking back
toward the operator. This reaction is referred to as KICKBACK.

continuous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire
or personal injury.

This button can be pressed from either side.
OPERATING THE TRIGGER SWITCH
THIS TOOL IS CONTROLLED BY A
TRIGGER SWITCH:
• Press the lock-off button, then pull
the “ON/OFF” trigger to turn the
Circular Saw “ON”. To turn the
Circular Saw “OFF”, release the

GENERAL CUTTING
Always hold the saw in front of you and away from your body. Keep your
hands and feet well away from the work piece.
Never feed the blade into the work piece until the blade is at full speed.
If the blade is not at full speed, the saw may kick back causing serious
personal injury.
Do not force the saw. Excessive force may result in a
broken blade. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw moving through the
work piece.
