SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
1. Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
if lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If the
saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
2. Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
3. The lower guard may be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”.
Raise the lower guard by the retracting
handle and as soon as the blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
4. Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of
the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
DANGER:
People with electronic
devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference or failure of the
pacemaker.

2. Wear personal protective equipments.
Depending on application, use dust mask,
safety goggles or safety glasses for eye
protection. Wear hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping
small metal chips or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The gloves, workshop apron and
clothing must be fire resistant. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss. Using protective equipments
will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
3. Do not handle workpiece without
wearing gloves. The sharp edge of
workpiece may cause a laceration hazard.
4. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
5. Do not use dull blade. Additional sparks
generated by using dull blade increase the
risk of a fire hazard.
6. Do not use with any abrasive wheels,
just only use with 7-1/4” wood blade.
7. Do not use cutting oil. The use of cutting
oil may cause a fire.
8. Do not use tool near flammable
material.
9. This circular saw should not be
mounted to a table and converted to a
table saw. Circular saws are not designed
or intended to be used as table saws.
10. The blade washers and the bolt on
your saw have been designed to work
as a clutch to reduce the intensity of a
kickback. Understand the operation and
settings of the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH. The
proper setting of the clutch, combined with
firm handling of the saw will allow you to
control kickback.
11. Do not run the tool while carrying it
at your side. Lower guard may be opened
by a contact with your clothing. Accidental
