To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten
the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex
wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the inner flange is removed,
be sure to install it on the spindle. When
installing, choose a correct side on which
protrusion fits into the circular saw blade hole
perfectly.
Mounting the circular saw blade on the
wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower guards of accumulated
metal chips as discussed in the Maintenance section.
Such efforts do not replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection or
goggle before operation.
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently.
Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly
causing
severe
injury.
CAUTION:
Never twist or force the tool in the
cut.
This
may
cause
motor
overload
and/or
a
dangerous kickback, resulting
in
serious
injury
to
the
operator.
CAUTION:
Always use the circular saw blades
appropriate for your job.
The use of inappropriate
circular
saw
blades
may
cause
a
poor
cutting
performance
and/or
present
a
risk
of
personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use a deformed or cracked
circular saw blade. Replace it with a new one.

Hold
the
tool
firmly.
The
tool
is
provided
with
both
a
front
grip and
rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both
hands
are
holding
the
tool,
they
cannot
be
cut
by
the circular saw
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to
be
cut
without
the
circular
saw
blade
making
any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until
the circular saw
blade
attains
full
speed.
Now
simply
move
the
tool
forward
over
the
workpiece surface,
keeping
it
flat
and
advancing smoothly until
the
cutting
is
completed. To
get
clean
cuts,
keep
your
cutting
line
straight
and
your
speed
of
advance
uniform.
If
the
cut
fails
to
properly
follow
your
intended
cut
line,
do
not
attempt
to turn or force the tool back to the cut line.
Doing so may
bind
the
circular
saw
blade
and
lead
to
dangerous kickback
and
possible
serious
injury.
Release
switch,
wait for the circular saw blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning
which exposes operator to chips and
particles
being
ejected
from
the
tool.
Use
eye
protection to
help
avoid
injury.
The
sight
grooves
in
the
base
makes
it
easy
to
check
the distance
between the front edge of the circular saw blade and
the workpiece whenever the circular saw blade is set
to the maximum depth of cut.

CAUTION:
Do not stack materials when cutting
them.
CAUTION:
Do not cut hardened steel, wood,
plastics, concrete, tile, etc. Cut only mild steel,
aluminum and stainless steel with a suitable
circular saw blade.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the circular saw
blade, workpiece or cutting chips with bare hands
immediately after cutting.
They
may
be
extremely hot
and
could
burn
your
skin.
CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
