SWITCH (FIG. 11)
WARNING
When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool “ON”, press and hold the lock-
off button with your thumb, then squeeze the
trigger switch with your nger. Release the
lock-off button and continue to squeeze the
trigger for continued operation.
To turn the tool “OFF”, release the trigger
switch, which is spring loaded and will return
to the off position automatically.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw by the main handle with
one hand and the auxiliary handle with the
other. Maintain a rm grip with both hands
on the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
Position the dust outlet so that it faces away
from the operator.
WARNING
Use only 7-1/4’’ saw
blades rated 5800/min
(RPM) or greater. NEVER use a blade that
is so thick that it prevents the outer blade
washer from engaging with the at side of
the spindle. Using a blade not designed for
the saw may result in serious personal injury
and property damage.
WARNING
Always be sure that
neither hand interferes
with the free movement of the lower
guard.
Maintain a rm grip and operate the switch
with a decisive action. Never force the saw.
Use light and continuous pressure.
WARNING
After completing a cut
and releasing the trigger,
Fig. 11
Trigger Switch
Lock-Off Button
be aware of the necessary time it takes for
the blade to come to a complete stop
during coast down. Do not allow the saw
to brush against your leg or side; since
the lower guard is retractable, it could
catch on your clothing and expose the
blade. Be aware of the necessary blade
exposures that exist in both the upper
and lower guard areas.
To resume cutting when cutting is interrupted,
release the lock-off button, squeeze the
trigger, and allow the blade to reach full speed,
re-enter the cut slowly, and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the bers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a nished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
NOT FOR CUTTING MASONRY/METAL
This tool is only designed for wood-cutting; it
isnot designed for use with metal or masonry
cut-off wheels.
WARNING
Do not use abrasive
wheels with circular
saws. Abrasive dust may cause lower
guard to not operate properly.
