Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1.Unthread the Screw holding the Battery Cover in place.
2.Remove the Screw and Battery Cover.
3.Install 2 AAA batteries matching polarity with markings on compartment.
4.Replace the Battery Cover and secure in place with the Screw.
Dust Collector
1.Connect a Dust collection system (sold separately) to the Dust Chute on the Stationary Guard.
SETUP
1.Work piece selection:
a.Work piece must be free of foreign objects and loose knots.
b.Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
c.Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pressure treated lumber all have an increased potential for kickback and should only be cut with a blade designed for cutting that lumber. Wear a NIOSH‑approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
2.Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
3.Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
4.Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
5.Verify that there are no utility lines or hardware in or near the workpiece. This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
General Operating Instructions
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
1.Make all necessary depth and angle adjustments to the Circular Saw.
2.Make sure that all guards are in place in proper working order and that all adjustment knobs are tight before operation.
3.Plug the Power Cord into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
4.Press the Laser Switch to ON (I).
5.Firmly grip the Handle with one hand and the Auxiliary Handle with the other hand. Squeeze and hold the Trigger Lock, then the Trigger to turn on the Circular Saw.
6.Release the Trigger Lock.
7.Allow the Saw Blade to reach full speed before feeding the Saw Blade into the workpiece.
8.Make straight cuts only. Do not attempt to twist the Circular Saw to the right or left while cutting. If this occurs, the Saw Blade will “bind” in the workpiece causing kickback, potential injury, and/ or damage to the workpiece and Circular Saw.
9.Do not force the Circular Saw to cut faster than it is designed to cut. Feed the Saw Blade gradually into the workpiece.
10.Turn off the Circular Saw if the Saw Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut. When turning off the Circular Saw, allow the Saw Blade to fully stop on its own before removing the Circular Saw. Do not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
11.Once the cutting job is completed, release the Trigger and wait until the Saw Blade stops spinning. Turn the Laser Switch OFF (O).
12.To prevent accidents, unplug the Power Cord from its electrical outlet. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
