PRECAUTIONS ON USING CIRCULAR SAW

1.  Do not use saw blades which are deformed or cracked.

2.  Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.

3.  Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the 

characteristics specified in these instructions.

4.  Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure on the 

disc.

5.  Always keep the saw blades sharp.

6.  Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly and 

freely.

7.  Never use the circular saw with its lower guard  fixed in 

the open position.

8.  Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard 

system operates correctly.

9.  Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade 

turned upward or to the side.

10. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matter such as 

nails.

APPLICATION

Cutting various types of wood.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

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 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 workbench. (Fig. 1)

Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface 

of the lumber, place the lumber on a workbench when 

cutting. If a square block is utilized as a workbench, 

select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An 

unstable workbench 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.

ADJUSTING THE POWER TOOL PRIOR TO USE

1.  Adjusting the cutting depth

  To adjust cutting depth, loosen the lever (A) and, while 

holding the base with one hand, move the main body up 

and down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth. After 

adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the 

lever (A) securely (

Fig. 2

).

CAUTION

  Should this lever (A) remain loosened, it will create a 

very hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it.

2.  Adjusting the angle of inclination

  By loosening the lever (A) at the scale, the saw blade 

can be inclined up to maximum angle of 45° against the 

base.

  The angle of inclination can also be regulated by 

loosening the lever (A) at the scale (

Fig. 3

).

CAUTION

  It is very hazardous to allow this lever (A) to remain 

loosened.  Always thoroughly clamp it. 

3.  Regulating the guide 

  The cutting position can be regulated by moving the 

guide to the left or right after loosening its wing bolt.

  The guide can be mounted on either the left or the right 

sides (

Fig. 4

).
