2. Adjusting the angle of inclination

WARNING: If the wing bolt (A) is loose, injury can result. Tighten it securely after adjustment.

As shown in Fig. 15 by loosening the wing bolt (A) on the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of 45° in relation to the base. Always insure that the wing bolt (A) is thoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment.

NOTE: Values of the inclined gauge pro- vided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjust- ing the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protrac- tor, etc.

OPERATION

WARNING:

Never touch the moving parts.

Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned upward or to the side.

Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep your finger off the switch trigger when the circular saw is being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.

Keep the light ON during cutting operation only. If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.
