(1) Place the base on the material, then align
the premarked line and the sawblade with
the notch at the front of the base (Fig. 21).
When the base is not slanted, use the
large cutout as the guide (Fig. 21,
Fig. 22).
If the base is slanted (45 degrees), use
the small front scale as the guide (Fig. 21,
Fig. 23).

(2) Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position before the saw blade
comes in contact with the lumber. The switch is turned ON when the
trigger is squeezed; and OFF when the trigger is released.
Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will produce optimum
cutting.
CAUTION
○ Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade has reached full
speed revolution.
○ Should the saw blade be stopped or made an abnormal noise
during operation, turn off the switch immediately.
○ When fi nished with a job, pull out the battery from the main body.
○ Twisting and forcibly pressing the saw during cutting can result in
unreasonable pressure on the motor, so try to go straight quietly.
○ In the situation where the circular saw is continuously operated
while replacing the battery with stocked spare batteries one after
another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore, whenever the
housing becomes hot, give the saw a break for a while.
○ Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base bottom is afl oat
from the material being cut. Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
