tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.

cause switch breakage.
CAUTION:
The tool starts to brake the cir-
cular saw blade rotation immediately after you

the switch trigger.
Sudden reaction can drop the tool
off your hand and can cause a personal injury.
Automatic speed change function
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque
mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker
cutting operation. When the work load is high, the tool
will run in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting
operation.

If the tool is operated with excessive load, the mode
indicator will blink in green. The mode indicator stops
blinking and then lights up or turns off if you reduce the
load on the tool.

Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
