NOTE:
When using the saw at the inclination of 45
degrees, use both the marks of on the bevel plate
and [45] on the inclined gauge of the base (Fig.
14).
What's more, if it is absolutely essential to use the
saw at a precise angle, make adjustment using a
protractor, etc.

(3) 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 finished 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 afloat from the material being cut.
Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
