RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION 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 safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures. SYMBOL MEANING SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger, warning, or caution. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.

FEATURES KNOW YOUR CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW SWITCH See Figure 1. Before attempting to use any tool, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. Your saw is equipped with a lock-off button which reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger. You must depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released.
FEATURES IMPORTANT CHARGER INFORMATION The battery pack for your Circular Saw can be charged with charger part number 1400667 or 1400677. As shown below in figures 2 and 3, the difference in these chargers is the LED function. Before using your charger to charge battery pack, it is extremely important that you determine the part number of your charger. Then familarize yourself with the LED function of the charger you have. The part number will be found on a plate located on the bottom of your charger.
OPERATION WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING: fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a completely discharged tool. ■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. ■ Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or cold.
OPERATION CHARGING BATTERY PACK WITH CHARGER PART NUMBER 1400677 The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it prior to use. NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (cutting followed by recharging) for them to fully charge. TO CHARGE ■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided. ■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
OPERATION WARNING: DEPRESS LATCHES TO RELEASE BATTERY PACK Always remove battery pack from your saw when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or removing blades, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury. 3 2 0 2 LATCHES BATTERY PACK 1 2 3 WARNING: 50 45 TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK ■ Locate latches on end of battery pack and depress to release battery pack from your saw. See Figure 4.
OPERATION ■ Fit saw blade inside lower blade guard and onto spindle. NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of saw as shown in figure 5. ■ Replace outer blade washer. ■ Depress spindle lock button, then replace blade screw. Tighten blade screw securely. NOTE: Turn blade screw counterclockwise to tighten. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON ■ Return blade wrench to storage area. REMEMBER: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
OPERATION KICKBACK See Figure 8. The best guard against kickback is to avoid dangerous practices. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any action which pinches the blade in the wood. KICKBACK DANGER: BLADE SET TOO DEEP Fig. 8 Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Kickback could cause you to lose control of your saw. Loss of control can lead to serious injury.
OPERATION ■ When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts. ■ Do not cut warped or wet lumber. ■ Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces of kickback should it occur. When using your saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do not remove your saw from workpiece while the blade is moving. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT Always keep correct blade depth setting.
OPERATION TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL: ■ Always support your workpiece near the cut. ■ Support your workpiece so the cut will be on your left. ■ Clamp your workpiece so it will not move during the cut. 3 2 0 2 50 45 Place your workpiece with its good side down. NOTE: The good side is the side on which appearance is important. Before beginning a cut, draw a guideline along the desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on that part of your workpiece that is solidly supported. See Figure 13.
OPERATION TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT TOP VIEW OF SAW When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the saw base as shown in figure 17. GUIDELINE FRONT OF SAW 1 Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, the guideline must be offset to produce an accurate cut. NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is the amount you should offset the guideline.
OPERATION TO BEVEL CUT BEVEL SCALE 4 0 5 4 1 2 3 0 BLADE GUIDE NOTCH 4 1 0 45 1 2 3 The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause saw to "kickback" toward you resulting in serious injury. 15 1 WARNING: BEVEL ADJUSTMENT KNOB 50 45 The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 50°. NOTE: When making cuts at 50°, blade should be set at full depth of cut.
OPERATION POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP See Figure 21. Your saw has a positive 0° bevel stop, that has been factory adjusted to assure 0° angle of your saw blade when making 90° cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping. BLADE CARPENTER'S SQUARE TO CHECK ■ Remove battery pack from saw. WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. ADJUSTMENT SCREW ■ Place your saw in an upside down position on workbench.
OPERATION TO RIP CUT STRAIGHT EDGE 3 2 0 2 50 45 OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE) See Figure 23. Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. An optional rip guide with a five inch scale is available or you can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge to your workpiece. Secure the workpiece. Using C-clamps, firmly clamp a straight edge to the workpiece and guide the saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut. Do not bind the blade in the cut.
MAINTENANCE DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage tool as well as workpiece. WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
