INSTALLING THE VACUUM ADAPTER
A workshop vacuum can be attached to the
circular saw to collect much of the dust created
from cutting.
1. Place the small end of the vacuum adaptor
(1) over the vacuum port (2) on the blade
housing (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Rotate the adaptor slightly while
pushing it onto the vacuum port.
2. Attach a standard workshop vacuum to the
large end of the adaptor.
NOTE: Not all of the cutting dust will be
captured by the vacuum as some will be
thrown beyond the vacuum range.
LOCK-OFF BUTTON AND TRIGGER SWITCH
The lock-off button (1) is a safety device
designed to reduce the possibility of accidentally
starting the saw (Fig. 7). This button must be
depressed before the trigger switch (2) can be
depressed.
1. To turn the saw ON, depress the lock-off
button with your thumb.
2. While holding the lock-off button in the
depressed position, squeeze the trigger
switch to start the saw.
3. Once the saw starts, release the lock-off
button. The saw will remain running until the
trigger switch is released.
4. To turn the saw OFF, release the trigger
switch.
NOTE: The lock-off button must be
depressed again to restart the saw.
