Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can cause
uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and possible
kickback. Push the saw forward at a speed so that
the blade cuts without slowing.
12. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
13. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth
advancement of tool without decrease in blade
speed.
14. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and
bevel adjustments are tight.
15. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
16. The tool is provided with a front grip (motor
housing) and rear handle for two hand operation.
Operate with proper hand support and proper
workpiece support.
WARNING: It is important to support the work-
piece properly and to hold the saw firmly to pre-
vent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of
the saw.
17. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made. As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT
way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the
WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small,
clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT
PIECES BY HAND!
18. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely danger-
ous and can lead to serious accidents.
19. WARNING: Blade coasts to stop after switch is
released. Contact with coasting blade can cause
serious injury. Before setting the tool down after
completing a cut, be sure that the lower (tele-
scoping) guard has closed and the blade has
come to a complete stop.
20. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
