CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions and the warning labels. CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY 1. Work environment. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. When operating the tool from an elevated position, be aware of people or things beneath you.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions and the warning labels. CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY 9. During the cut. Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The blade guard cannot protect you from the blade protruding from the underside of the workpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut material when the blade is moving. 10. Reducing kickback.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION (CHARGER) DOUBLE-INSULATED CHARGER The charger’s electrical system is double-insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double-insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal components with protecting insulation.
BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS Despite all of the safety precautions, caution must always be taken when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause cell damage. • Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS ABOUT THE BATTERY 1. The battery pack has to be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time. 2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently. 3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
UNPACKING & PACKING LIST UNPACKING Carefully remove the circular saw from the packaging and place it on a sturdy, flat surface. Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until everything is removed. Check the packing list below to make sure you have all of the parts and accessories.

KNOW YOUR CIRCULAR SAW TOOL PURPOSE Easily make miter cuts and rough cuts on large sheets of material with your WEN Circular Saw. Refer to the following diagrams to become familiarized with all the parts and controls of your circular saw. The components will be referred to later in the manual for assembly and operation instructions. Rear Handle 4.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before inspecting the unit, making adjustments, or changing accessories. SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT Before making a cut, it is important to set the correct blade depth. The saw’s maximum cutting depth at the 90° setting is 2-1/6 inches (55mm) and 1-3/5 inches (40mm) at the 45° setting.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS LINE-OF-CUT INDICATORS Fig. 4 A line-of-cut indicator notch (Fig. 4 - 1) can be found at the front of the saw base. This notch helps provide indication of where the cut will be occurring. NOTE: Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts along a guideline in scrap material to determine the proper alignment of the guideline within the notch. This will help to obtain an accurate cut with blades of various thicknesses.
OPERATION WARNING! To prevent serious injury, make sure all the instructions have been read and understood before operating this tool. Before connecting the tool to its power source, always check to see that the tool is turned OFF. Accidently starting the saw could result in injury. TYPES OF CUTS • Cross-Cutting And Rip Cutting Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is called “cross-cutting” and is likely the most common type of cut done with a circular saw.
OPERATION OPERATING THE SAW 1. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the front handle and rear handle. Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. 2. Make sure that you are not in the path of chips and wood dust being ejected from the saw. 3. Set the front portion of the saw’s base on the workpiece to be cut without letting the blade contact the workpiece.
OPERATION MAKING PLUNGE CUTS/POCKET CUTS A plunge cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the workpiece rather than starting from an outside edge and working inward. Plunge cuts can be very dangerous for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is potentially hazardous.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before inspecting the unit, making adjustments or changing accessories. REPLACING THE SAW BLADE The quality of the cut depends on the condition of the saw blade. Never use a dull, rusty, or damaged blade. Before operation, check the blade and replace if the blade is worn-out or damaged. Use circular saw blades with 6-1/2-inch diameter and 20mm arbor size.
MAINTENANCE WARNING! To avoid accidents, turn OFF and remove the battery pack from the charger and the charger from the outlet before cleaning, adjusting, or performing any maintenance work. WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts. Use of other parts may be hazardous or induce product failure.
