FEATURES

KNOW YOUR CIRCULAR SAW

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.

APPLICATIONS

(Use only for the purpose listed below)

■Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood, paneling).

WARNING:

If any parts are missing, do not operate your tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

SWITCH

Your saw is equipped with a pre-travel safety switch which reduces the possibility of accidental starting. When you depress the switch, you will notice the saw will not start until you reach the pre-travel position. You must depress the switch fully to activate the saw.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your circular saw has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz only. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
