OPERATING THE SAW
It is important to understand the correct
method for operating the saw.
Refer to the figures and instructions in this
section to learn the correct and incorrect
ways for handling the saw.
DANGER:
• When lifting the saw from the workpiece,
the blade is exposed on the underside
of the saw until the lower blade guard
closes. Make sure the lower blade guard
is closed before setting the saw down.
WARNING:
• Allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before setting the circular saw down.
• To make sawing easier and safer, always
maintain proper control of the saw.
Loss of control could cause an accident
resulting in possible serious injury.
• Always clamp and support the
workpiece securely. Always maintain
proper control of the saw. Failure to clamp
and support the workpiece and loss of
control of the saw could result in serious
injury.
TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE
CUT:
1. Always use your saw with your hands,
with one hand on the main handle and
operating the trigger switch and the
other hand on the auxiliary handle. Avoid
placing your hand on the workpiece
while making a cut.
2. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade.
3. Support the workpiece near the cut.
