3_BEFORE plugging in the 1ool,BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within
the voltage marked on the tool's data plate, DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with
a DC power supply.
4, AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded
5. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in
wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6 iNSPECT tool cords for damage, Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears
Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep
it well away from the moving blade.
7 DO NOT abuse the cord° NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or pull the
plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts..
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock..
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwrilers Laboratories
(UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting ina loss of
power and overheating of tool.. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of
at least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension cord of 254£ or less in length
Use 12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft, or longer are not
recommended. Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than
a larger number (14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge
wire has more capacity than 14-gauge).. When in doubt use the smaller number
When operating a power tooloutdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Z_ CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it wilt not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool.
z_WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

SERVICE SAFETY
I.. If any part of this saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way;
or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF
the power switch and remove the saw plug from the power source and have
the missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2_.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in
a risk of injury,
3,.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
pads or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
_Keep hands away from cutting area and blade,, Keep your
second hand On the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, the blade cannot cut them°
Z_ CAUTION: Blades coast after saw is switched off.
I,KEEP your body positioned to either side of the saw blade and not in direct
line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See
"Kickback What Causes It and Ways to Help Prevent It" on pages 16 and I7)..
2 DO NOT reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
beneath the workpiece.
_When sawing through a workpiece, the lower blade guard
DOES NOT cover the blade on the underside of the workpiece (Pg. 14 Fig. 2).
ALWAYS keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting area.
3 CHECK lower guard for proper closing BEFORE each use. DO NOT operate the saw
if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard in the open position.. If the saw is accidentalfy dropped, the lower guard may
be benL Raise the lowerguard with tile retracting lever The guard isoperating properly
when it moves freely, does not touchthe blade or any other part in all angles and depths
of cut, and readily returns to the closed position.
4.CHECK the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they MUST BE serviced before use. The lower
guard may operate sluggishly, due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of
debris DO NOT operate your saw until the damage has been repaired or replaced_
5.The lower guard should be retracted manually ONLY for making special cuts, such
as pocket or compound cuts, ALWAYS raise the lower guard by retracting its lever,
As soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard MUST be released. For all
other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically..
6 ALWAYS make sure that the lower guard is covering the blade BEFORE placing the
saw down on a work bench or floor. An unprotected moving blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in itspath. Make note of the time it takes for the blade
to stop spinning after the switch is released
7 NEVER hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs. It is importantto
support the workpiece property in order to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss
of control.
8 HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make the exposed metal partsof the tool"live" and shock the operator..
9..ALWAYS clamp the workpiece securely so it will not move when making the cut.
I0. When ripping, ALWAYS USE a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy ofthe cut and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
tl ALWAYS USE blades that have the correct size and shape (diamond vs, round) arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run erratically and
cause loss of control.
9
SAFETYRULESFORCIRCULARSAWSconL
12, NEVER use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and
bolts were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safely ofoperation.
13 NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one
workpiece on the worktable at a time.
I4. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the blade.
15, NEVER reach into the cutting path of the blade.

Z_ WARNING: A 71/4-inch blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. A
larger than 71t4-inch blade will come in contact with the blade guards_ Also, NEVER
use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer blade washer from engaging
with the flat side of the spindle, Blades that are too large or too thick can result in an
accident causing serious injury,
SAW BLADES
All saw blades need to be kept clean,
sharp and properly set in order to cut
efficiently Using a dull blade places a
heaw load on the saw and increases
the danger of kickback° Keep extra
blades on hand, so sharp blades are
always available. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on the blade slows the saw
down Use gum and pitch remover,
hot water or kerosene to remove
them DO NOT use gasoline
Fig. 3
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM (Fig_ 3)
The lower blade guard, attached to
your circular saw, is there for your
protection and safety. It should
NEVER be altered for any reason.
If it becomes damaged or begins
to return slowly or sluggishly,
DO NOT operate your saw until the damage has been repaired or replaced.
ALWAYS leave the guard in its correct operating position when using the saw,
Lower Blade
Guard level is
in UP position
when making
a cut
Z_ CAUTIO N: NEVER use the saw when the guard is not operating properly° The
guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you drop your saw,
check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth settings before using.
NOTE:The guard is operating properly when it moves freely and then readily returns to
the closed position. If for any reason your lower blade guard and bumper does not close
freely, take the saw to your nearest Sears Repair Center for service before using it.

wood, This causes the blade to climb out
of the ken and jump back towardsthe operator
4, Sawing into knots or nails inthe workpiece
can cause Kickback,
5. Sawing into wet or warped lumber can
cause Kickback (see Fig 5a),,
6, Forcing a cut, or not supporting the workpiece
correctly can cause Kickback (see Fig. 5a).
7. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions,
itcan be avoided by taking the proper
precautions, on page I7

Ways to Help Prevent Kickback
_ ALWAYS release trigger switch immediately if the blade binds
or the saw stalls. Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss of control
can lead to serious lnjury_
1.ALWAYS maintain afirm grip with
both (see Fig, 6) hands on the saw
and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist Kickback forces,
Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if the proper precautions
are taken,
2, If the blade is binding, or when
you are interrupting a cut for any
reason, ALWAYS release the trigger
and hold the saw motionless in the
material until the blade comes to a
complete stop, NEVER atlempt
1oremove the saw from the work
or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion, or Kickback may
occur. CHECK and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of blade binding,,
3 Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting Never saw into a knot or nail.
4 DO NOT cut warped or wet lumber (see Fig 5a)
5 ALWAYS support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and Kickback, Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight(see Fig, 5a) Supports MUST be placed under
the panel, one near the line of cut and one near the edge of the panel (see Fig. 5)_
6. When restarting the saw in the workpiece, CENTER the blade in the kerr and check to be
sure that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material if the saw blade is binding, it may
walk up or Kickback from the workpiece when the saw is restarted,
7. DO NOT use a dul! or damaged blade, Unsharpened, improperly set, or gummed-up blades
produce narrow kerr which causes excessive friction, blade binding and Kickback°
8, KEEP the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth setting should not exceed 1/4-inch
below the material being cut (see Fig. 4).BE SURE that the blade depth and adjusting
locking levers are tight and secure BEFORE making a cut:,If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting it may cause binding and Kickback,
9 USE EXTRA CAUTION when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause Kickback,
17
MAKING DEPTH-OF-CUT ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 7)
ALWAYS use the correct blade depth setting The correct blade depth setting for al!cuts
should not be more than 1/4-inch below the material being cui (see Fig, 4), Allowing more
depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough, Your saw is
equipped with a depth-of-cut scale that provides increased depth-of-cut accuracy,
The depth-of-cut scale is located on the inside back of the upper blade guard

STARTING A CUT (Fig. 10)
Z_ WARNING: ALWAYS clamp and support workpiece securely° ALWAYS
maintain proper control of saw, Failure to clamp and support workpiece and loss of
control of saw could result in serious injury°
1, ALWAYS use your saw with your hands positioned correctly, with one hand operating
the trigger switch and the other on the front assist handle (see Fig. 10),
Z_ WARNING: ALWAYS maintain proper control of the saw to make sawing safer
and easier_ Loss of control of the saw could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious injury_
2 NEVER use the saw with your
hands positioned as shown in Fig. 11
To Help Maintain Control:
3. ALWAYS support the workpiece
near the cuL
4. ALWAYS support the workpiece
so the cut wilt be on your right,
5, ALWAYS clamp the workpiece
so it will not move during the cuL
Place the workpiece with the Fi
good side down,
I NOTE:The side of the is the side where is
good workpiece appearance
important.
6, Before starting a cut, draw a guideline along
the desired line of cut, then place the front
edge of the saw base on that part of the
workpiece that is solidly supported (see Fig, 10)_
7 NEVER place the saw on the part of the
workpiece that will fall off when the cut
is made (see Fig_II)
8, ALWAYS keep the cord away from the
cutting area,, ALWAYS place the cord so it
does not hang up on the workpiece when
making a cuL
9 Hold the saw firmly with
both hands (see Fig 10),
Fig. 11
Z_ WARNING: tf the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut, release the
trigger switch immediately.To avoid injury, unplug the saw and move the cord to

2O
TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL cont.:
10. Squeeze the trigger switch to start the saw. ALWAYS let the blade reach full speed
before you begin the cut into the workpiece.
11 When making a cut, ALWAYS use steady, even pressure. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause Kickback.
I2. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to
a complete stop DO NOT remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade
ismoving.
_When sawing through a workpiece, the lower blade guard DOES
NOT cover the blade on the underside of the workpiece (see Fig. 3, page 15)=ALWAYS
keep your hands and fingers away from the cutting area, Any part of your body
coming in contact with the moving blade will result in serious injury,
