GENERAL CUTTING – cont’d
NOTE: To align the saw blade with the cutting
mark, use the guide marks on the front of the
sole plate (Fig. 10). Use the 0° cutting mark (1)
for right angle cuts. Use only the 45° mark (2)
for 45° cuts. The 45° mark will allow for the extra
material needed for the angle cut. Always make
a test cut on a scrap workpiece before cutting
the new material.
WARNING: Do not force the circular
saw. Use only enough force to keep the
blade cutting at full speed. Excessive
pressure on the blade will cause it to slow
down and overheat, resulting in poor cut
quality and damage to the motor.
RIP GUIDE CUTTING
1. Set the rip guide foot at the required width
(Fig. 7).
NOTE: When starting the cut, make sure the
blade is parallel to the edge of the workpiece
and the rip guide foot is against the edge of the
workpiece.
2. Proceed with the cut as outlined in
"GENERAL CUTTING" above.
NOTE: As you move the saw through the
workpiece, make sure the guide foot stays in
contact with the workpiece.
PLUNGE CUTTING
WARNING: To avoid loss of control,
damage to the blade or damage to the
workpiece, always use extreme caution
when making plunge cuts. It is not
recommended to plunge cut any material
other than wood.
1. To plunge cut inside the edges of a
workpiece, clearly mark the cutting line on
the workpiece.
2. Set the bevel angle to 0° (Fig. 5).
3. Lift the cutting depth locking lever upward
to allow the blade to rise above the bottom
of the sole plate so the blade will NOT
contact the workpiece (Fig. 4). Do NOT
lock the cutting depth locking lever.
4. Set the saw on the workpiece (1) so the
sole plate is flat on the workpiece
(Fig. 11).
5. Open the blade guard by rotating the blade
guard lever (2) forward.
6. Align the saw blade with the cutting line (3)
using the 0° cutting mark on the sole plate.
NOTE: Make sure the saw blade is inside the
area to be cut out.
