SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruction, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GERNERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. WORK AREA SAFETY 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed. 2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 3.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. 6. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. 7. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 4. 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. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS 1. Use battery only with charger listed below.

Using a square ruler (available separately), check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of the saw. FIG. 5 Square Ruler Saw Blade Bevel-adjustment Lever The saw is equipped with a 45° stop to quickly set up for 45° bevels. To set a 45-56° bevel, raise the stop. 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
ASSEMBLY LED WORKLIGHT (FIG. 7) HOOK (FIG. 8) The circular saw is equipped with a LED worklight, which will illuminate when the trigger switch is depressed. This provides additional light on the surface of the workpiece for operation in lower-light areas. The light will stay on for 10 seconds after the trigger has been released. Your tool is equipped with a convenient hook for hanging your tool. To use, simply lift up hook until it snaps into the open position.
OPERATION ELECTRIC BRAKE FIG. 10A The circular saw is equipped with an electric brake. When the trigger switch is released, the electric brake engages automatically to quickly stop the blade rotation. CUTTING WITH THE CIRCULAR SAW (FIG. 10A, 10B & 10C) To make the safest and best possible cut, follow these helpful hints: • • • • • • • • Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut (FIG. 10A).
OPERATION CROSS-CUTTING/RIP CUTTING (FIG. 11) RIP CUTTING USING A STRAIGHT EDGE (FIG. 12) When making a cross-cut or a rip cut, align the guideline with the 0° indicator on the base shoe. Blade thicknesses vary, so you should always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much the guideline must be offset from the indicator to produce an accurate cut. 1. 2. NOTICE: Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts. 5. FIG. 11 3. 4. 6. 7.
OPERATION BEVEL CUTTING (FIG. 13) Remove the battery pack from the tool. Adjust the angle of cut to any desired setting, between 0° and 56,° according to the section “ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE”. 3. Replace the battery pack. 4. Align the cutting line with the 45° bladeguide notch on the base shoe when making 45° bevel cuts. 5. Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine the amount to offset the notch on the cutting material. 6. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. 7.
OPERATION POCKET CUTTING (FIG. 14) 1. 2. Remove the battery pack from the tool. Adjust the bevel setting to 0° and tighten the bevel locking knob. 3. Set the blade to the correct blade cutting depth. 4. Replace the battery pack. 5. Use the blade-guard lever to swing the lower blade guard up. 6. Hold the lower blade guard in place with the blade-guard lever. 7.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury. MAINTENANCE The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION The saw does not work. The battery is depleted. Charge the battery. The saw does not work and the tool LED worklight flashes. The tool is overheated. Allow the tool to cool down. The saw does not work and two battery pack LED lights alternately flash. The battery is overheated. Allow the battery to cool down. The saw does not work and the battery pack LED lights flash. The battery is in overloaded protection. Do not force the cut. Cutting is difficult.
