OPERATION
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 10.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw
into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece
before it reaches full speed could cause your saw to
“kickback” towards you resulting in serious injury.
To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from
the workpiece while the blade is moving.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 11.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) below the material being cut. More blade
depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the
cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy, a scale
is located on the upper blade guard.
Follow these directions to adjust the blade depth.
■ UNPLUG YOUR CIRCULAR SAW.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
■ Loosen depth adjustment knob.
■ Determine the desired depth of cut.
■ Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade
guard.
■ Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or
lower saw until the indicator mark on bracket aligns
with notch on blade guard.
■ Tighten depth adjustment knob securely.
