Set the Cutting Depth

The cutting depth of the Saw Blade (A3) can be adjusted up to a 1-1/2” depth when the cutting angle is set to 90°, or up to 1-1/16” when the cutting angle is set to 45°.

The cut should be deep enough to cut all the way through the material but not deep enough to bite into a surface be- neath. Adding about 1/8” cut greater than the thickness of the material is advised. To adjust the cutting depth of the Saw:

1.Loosen the Depth Adjustment Knob (A46).

2.Pivot the Base Plate (A36) to the desired cutting depth, using the measurements on the Depth Guide as a guide.

3.Tighten the Depth Adjustment Knob (A46) to hold the Base Plate (A36) at the desired cutting depth.

Using the Rip Fence

The Rip Fence can be used to make a long uniform cut of a piece of material to the same width, or to make repeated cuts of the same width. To position the Rip Fence for use:

1.Loosen the Rip Fence Knob (A42).

2.Position the Rip Fence (A35) (not shown in Figure A1) so that the top of the “T” shape is facing down.

3.Slide the arm of the Rip Fence through the mounting slots (not shown) at the front of the Base Plate (A36).

4.Adjust the Rip Fence to the desired cut- ting width.

5.Tighten the Rip Fence Knob (A42).

6.To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

Operating the Circular Saw

1.Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.

2.Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.

3.Slide a fully charged Battery Pack (1) into the end of the handle of the Circular Saw, making sure that it clicks into place securely. Be sure the Battery Pack (1) is securely seated into the Saw Handle so it will not fall off during use.

4.Position the Blade near the workpiece, depress the Safety Button (A15) and hold the Trigger (A19-1)down. Release the Safety Button once the tool has power. Allow the Saw to come up to full speed before addressing it to the workpiece.

5.Hold the Circular Saw with both hands and allow it to cut through the workpiece at it’s own pace.

6.When the cut is complete, release the Trigger. Allow the Saw to coast to a stop before setting it down.

7.Remove the Battery Pack (1).

8.Clean then store the Circular Saw in- doors and out of children’s reach.
