OPERATING THE TRIGGER SWITCH
Never tape the trigger switch down to provide
continuous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire
or personal injury.
The lock-off button helps prevent accidental starting.
This button can be pressed from either side.
THIS TOOL IS CONTROLLED BY
A TRIGGER SWITCH:
• The speed of the Circular Saw
depends on the amount of
pressure applied on the trigger.
The further the trigger
is pressed, the faster the tool
will go.
• 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 trigger
switch. The lock-off button will automatically reset.
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.
• Put on eye protection.
• Clear the saw of any foreign material.
• Make sure the work piece is held securely in place. Hold smaller pieces in a vise
or attach to the workbench with clamps.
• Mark out the line to be cut so it is easily visible.
• Check the lower guard for damage. If damaged, do not use tool.
• Always use the right blade for the material.
• Make sure all bolts, screws and locking levers are secure before starting tool.
• Pull the trigger to start the saw.
• Set the shoe against the work piece.
• When the blade reaches full speed, slowly feed the blade into the work piece.
When the blade starts cutting, release the blade guard.
To reduce risk of damage to the tool or blade, do not exceed the feed rate
and maximum cut time for materials thicker than 1/4".
Cutting too fast or too long in heavy material will damage the tool if the tool
if the tool is not allowed to cool.
Cutting too slowly will cause excessive wear on the blade.
