7 1/4 Inch Circular Saw Operator's Manual 13
Operation
APPLICATIONS:
Cutting various types of wood.
PRE-OPERATION:
Before using the Electric Power Tool, complete the following
preparations:
1.
Power source:
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to
the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch:
Ensure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position. If
the plug is connected to a power receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will
start operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extension cord:
When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 4):
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface
of the lumber, place the lumber on a work bench when
cutting. If a square block is utilized as a work bench,
select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An
unstable work bench will result in hazardous operation.
CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENT,
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE PORTION
OF LUMBER REMAINING AFTER
CUTTING IS SECURELY ANCHORED
OR HELD IN POSITION.
5. Confirm the power receptacle:
If the power receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the
receptacle must be repaired. Contact the nearest electric
store for repair service. If such a faulty receptacle is
used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious
hazard.
ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE:
1.
Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 5, Fig. 6):
To adjust cutting depth, loosen the clamp lever and, while
holding the base with one hand, move the main unit up
and down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth. Inch
scale on the saw cover and metric scale on the link
provide a general guide to cutting depth. After adjusting
to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the clamp lever
securely.
2. Adjusting the angle on inclination:
As shown in Fig. 7 by loosening the wing-bolt on the
inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to
maximum angle of 45 in relation to the base. Always
insure that the wing-bolt is thoroughly tightened after
making the desired adjustment.
