Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

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.

3.Position the Saw Blade (20) about 1/2” from the beginning cut line on the workpiece. Do not allow the Saw Blade to come in contact with the workpiece.

4.Turn the Laser Switch (74) to its “ON” position, and align the laser beam with the cut line on the workpiece. Note: Kerf will be centered on laser beam.

5.Depress the Safety Button and then squeeze the Trigger (67) to turn on the Circular Saw.

6.Allow the Saw Blade (20) to rotate at full speed before slowly feeding it into the workpiece.

7.Make sure to hold the Circular Saw firmly with both hands to avoid kickback. Then, finish making the cut.

8.When finished, release the Trigger (67) to stop the Circular Saw. Wait until the Saw Blade (20) stops completely.

Turn the Laser Switch (74) to its “OFF” position. Then, remove the Circular Saw from the workpiece.

9.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.
