General Safety Instructions (continued)... c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
General Safety Instructions (continued)... 4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) 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.
Circular Saw Safety Instructions Cutting Procedures a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the 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. b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
Circular Saw Safety Instructions (continued)... Kickback causes and related warnings (Fig.
Circular Saw Safety Instructions (continued)... d) e) f) g) 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. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
Circular Saw Safety Instructions (continued)... WARNING: Use of the saw can produce and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. WARNING: Always use proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ASI S12.6 (S3.19) when using the saw. WARNING: Always wear safety glasses.

Remove the blade and the outer blade washer. 4. Place the new blade on the spindle. Ensure the rotation direction of the blade matches the rotation direction of the saw. Check the rotation arrow on the saw (indicated on the upper blade guard) and the rotation arrow on the saw blade.
Changing the Blade (continued)...
Bevel Adjustment Bevel Adjustment (Fig. 6) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn the saw off and disconnect it from any power source before installing or changing the blade, making any adjustments to the saw, or making any repairs to the saw. 1. 2. 3. 4. Loosen but do not remove the bevel adjustment screw. Adjust the saw deck to the desired angle. The saw is capable of rotating from 90° to 45°. Once the desired angle is located tighten the bevel adjustment screw. Check the blade depth.
Cutting with the Saw Cutting with the saw (Fig. 7) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, support and stabilize the workpiece properly. Refer to fig. 7 for examples of proper support. Keep hands away from the cutting area including under the materials being cut. Place hands on the saw handles during cutting. Ensure the power cord is clear of the cutting area. Ensure the power cord will not be hung up on the material being cut.
Cutting with the Saw (continued)... If your cut begins to go off-line, release the power switch and allow the saw blade to come to a full stop. Withdraw the saw, reorient the saw to the proper line, and begin the cutting process again. WARNING: If the saw stalls while cutting immediately release the power switch. Check to be sure the material being cut is properly supported and that the cut depth is set properly. Be sure to cut in a straight line. Adjusting the saw mid-cut could result in the saw stalling.
Removing the Collected Dust Removing the Collected Dust (Fig. 8) The Roan™ saw is designed to collect most of the dust produced during cutting. Some dust will still be visible during cutting. The dust will collect in the cyclone chamber. A small amount of dust may also collect in the filter chamber. Clean the dust from the cyclone and filter chambers after every 100 linear feet of cutting or every hour, whichever comes first. The dust should be deposited into a 5 gallon bucket or similar receptacle.
Cleaning the Filter Cleaning the Filter (Fig. 9) The Roan™ saw is equipped with a highly durable HMWP filter that under normal use and with proper care will not need to be replaced. To clean the filter: • • • • • • • Remove the filter from the saw by pulling firmly on the filter knob. Clean the filter by running it under a stream of clean water until no particulate is visible in the water. Allow the filter to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the saw. Do not use the filter when it is wet.
Optimizing Dust Collection The Roan™ saw is designed to collect a large amount of the dust created during cutting. To optimize dust collection: • Operate the saw with the saw deck fully retracted. • Avoid “stack” cutting of fiber cement. • Clean the filter by lightly tapping it against the bucket being used to collect the cut dust. Do this each time the cyclone chamber is emptied. For superior dust collection the Roan saw may be attached to a vacuum. Attach the vacuum hose to the tapered filter exhaust.
