EXTEnSiOn COrDS
grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the
distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-
gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
•
•
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
•
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

SPECiFiC SAFETY rULES FOr CirCULAr SAWS
WArning:
DO nOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to circular saw
safety rules. if you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. DAngEr! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the
saw to jump backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback”)
Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work. Do not attempt to remove
cut material when blade is moving. CAuTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.
2. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely
and close instantly. never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand, then release and watch guard closure. Also check to see that Retracting Lever does not touch
tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VeRY DANGeROuS and can lead to serious personal injury.

3. Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. if the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup
of debris.
4. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts” and “Compound Cuts.”
raise lower guard by retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be released. for all
other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
5. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch
is released.
6. nEVEr hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
7. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
8. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
9. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
10. never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
11. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the
blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
• Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures of conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
12. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KiCKBACK
forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
13. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull
the saw backward while the blade is in motion or KiCKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
14. When restarting a saw in the work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged
into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the work piece as the saw is restarted.
15. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KiCKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
16. Do not use dull or damaged blade. unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding,
and KICKBACK.
17. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts
while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK.
18. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause KICKBACK.

OPErATiOn
WArning:
7-1/4” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer
to fit properly on the spindle. Too thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle.
Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards. Either situation could result in a serious accident.

•
•
Loosen the knob on the depth guide at the back of saw.
Move the base up or down to the desired depth as indicated on the Depth of Cut Scale.
Or
•
Raise the lower blade guard and place the saw base on the work piece to be cut with the saw blade positioned against the edge. Hold the saw
base down on the work piece surface, then raise or lower the motor housing to obtain the desired depth of cut using the work piece edge as
a reference.
•
Secure the base by tightening the knob.
note: Always maintain the correct blade depth setting. For all cuts the blade depth should not exceed 1⁄4” below the
material being cut. Excessive blade depth increases the chance of saw KiCKBACK.

•
•
•
Loosen the clamp knob at the bevel scale plate on the front of the saw base.
Tilt the saw base until the desired graduation on the bevel scale aligns with the indicator line on the stationary bevel bracket.
Tighten the clamp knob securely.
Always make a test cut in scrap lumber and measure the cut angle to confirm the bevel angle is set properly; if necessary, adjust the bevel angle
appropriately before cutting the work piece.

Line-of-Cut Indicators
•
•
•
•
Line-of-cut indicator notches are provided at the front of the saw base.
The right notch is used to follow a line when making a 0° cut.
The left notch is used to follow a line when making a 45° bevel cut.
Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts in scrap material, along a guideline, to determine proper alignment of the guideline
within the notch to obtain an accurate cut.
Installing the Rip Guide
When cutting lumber lengthwise you are usually cutting “with” the wood’s grain rather then across the grain. Cutting “with” the grain of wood is called
“ripping” or a rip cut. Since rip cuts tend to be lengthy it can be difficult to accurately follow the guideline the entire distance of the cut. To assist the
operator to obtain a straight rip cut, a straight edge can be clamped to the work piece or the supplied optional rip guide can be used. To install the
optional rip guide on your saw, perform the following steps.
•
•
•
•
uNPLuG THe SAW fROM THe POWeR SOuRCe.
Insert the rip guide through all three slots in the saw base at the front of the saw, starting with slot in the right side edge of the base.
Slide the guide through the slots until it extends out the left side of the base.
Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and then securely tighten the thumbscrew in the center slot to hold the rip guide in position.
CAUTiOn:
To avoid personal injury and damage to the work piece, extend the rip guide through all slots in the base.
Starting and Stopping the Saw
To start the saw:
•
•
Pull the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed before guiding the saw into the work piece.
WArning:
The blade coming into contact with the work piece before reaching full speed, could cause your saw to KiCKBACK
towards you resulting in serious personal injury.
To stop the saw:
•
•
•
Release the switch trigger.
Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
Do not remove your saw from the work piece while the blade is still moving.
Operating the Saw
CAUTiOn:
To make sawing easier and safer, be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous KiCKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.
It’s important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and incorrect ways for handling your saw.
equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the work piece and work area prior to making the first cut with
the saw.
•
•
•
•
Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the front grip and rear handle.
Avoid placing your hand on the work piece while making a cut.
Place the work piece with the “good” side down.
Set-up and support the work piece so the cut is always on your right so the larger left side of the saw’s base will be on the part that DOeS NOT fall
off when the cut is made.
•
•
•
•
Securely clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut.
Place a clamp near the cut to further support the work piece.
Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before starting your saw or the cut.
Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work piece and you from standing
or tripping on the cord while cutting.
DAngEr:
if, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the work piece or other object during a cut, release the switch
trigger immediately. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.

Cross-Cutting and Rip Cutting
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is called crosscutting and is likely the most common type of cut done with a circular saw.
Cutting wood lengthwise, or “with” the grain, is called rip cutting. However, it’s most often referred to simply as ripping.
Both types of cuts are performed in the same manner with the exception of the methods used to support and secure the work piece for cutting. After
you have secured the work piece in position with clamps or similar devices, prepared the work area, positioned the cord so it won’t be cut or become
hung up, performed the saw set up adjustments, made the necessary measurements, drawn a straight guideline, and put on your eye protection, you
can begin the cutting operation.
•
•
Hold the tool firmly using both the front grip and rear handle. use both gripping areas to best hold and control the saw. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Set the front portion of the saw’s base on the work piece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Align the
line-of-cut indicator notch on the right side of the base with your guideline.
•
•
Turn the saw on by depressing the switch trigger and wait until the blade reaches full speed.
Ease the tool forward over the work piece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly while following your
guideline, until sawing is completed.
•
Release the switch trigger. Wait for the blade to completely stop. Check that the lower guard has returned to
position surrounding the blade. Now you can safely remove the saw from the work piece and set it down out of the way.
To achieve clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and speed of advance uniform.
If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line.
Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Instead, release the switch trigger, wait for the blade to
stop, and then remove the tool. Realign saw on a new cut guideline and start the cut again.
•
•
•
Avoid positioning yourself so that you’re in the path of chips and wood dust being ejected from the saw.
Bevel Cutting
Bevel cuts are made using the same technique as crosscuts and ripping described in the previous section. The difference is that the blade is set at an
angle (tilted) between 0° and 45°.
A bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is called a compound miter. Some compound cuts may require you to manually retract the lower
guard to allow the blade to enter into and/or through the cut.
There are tools better suited for bevel and compound cuts than the hand held circular saw. Although the inner line-of-cut indicator notch aids the
operator in following their cut guideline, the tilted motor housing, however, obstructs their ability to see the blade making accurate cuts difficult. Before
taking on a project with numerous compound or bevel cuts it’s suggested that the inexperienced saw user spend time making practice cuts in scrap
lumber to become familiar with and overcome difficulties associated with compound/bevel cutting.
Pocket Cuts
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the work piece rather than starting from an outside edge and working inward. Pocket cuts
can be very dangerous for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is potentially
hazardous.
•
•
•
Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
Swing the lower blade guard up by using the lower blade guard handle.
nOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury.
•
•
•
•
Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
Rest the front of the base flat against the work piece with the rear handle elevated so the blade does not touch the work piece.
Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
Guide the saw down into the work piece and make the cut.
WArning:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to climb up on the work piece and back
toward you.
•
•
•
Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
Lift the saw from the work piece.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining sides, and then clear the corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
WArning:
never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
