(2) Retract the lower guard into the saw cover.
(3) Insert wood chip in the rear side of the saw blade
base, and mark the position on the base (Fig. 17).
(4) Move the marked wood chip to the front of the base,
and turn the parallelism adjustment screw so that the
marking corresponds to the base side (Fig. 18).
NOTE
After parallelism adjustment, if the saw cover hinge
portion is loose, tighten the M5 U-Nut. Do not over
tighten the nut as this may result in deformation of the
bevel plate.
(5) After adjustment, fasten the mounting screws tightly
in place.
NOTE
Parallelism may be slightly faulty if the cutting depth is
adjusted after parallelism adjustment.
4. Adjusting the guide piece
On the circular saw, it is possible to make fi ne
adjustment of the fi xing position of the guide piece,
where the saw blade and the premarked line are to be
aligned.
When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear
portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned
with the central position of the saw blade (Fig. 19).

OPERATION
WARNING
● Never touch the moving parts.
● Never operate the circular saw with the saw
blade turned upward or to the side.
● Do not fi x and secure the lock-off button.
Besides, keep your fi nger off the switch trigger
when the circular saw is being carried around.
Otherwise, the main body switch can be
inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected
accidents.
● Keep the light ON during cutting operation only.
If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in
unexpected accidents.
● Do not use any abrasive wheels.
● Use only blade diameter specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
CAUTION
● Don't remove circular saw from workpiece during
a cut while the saw blade is moving.
● Pull out the battery after completing operation.
● Do not look directly into the light from the LED
light. Continuous and direct exposure to the light
from the LED light can injure your eyes.
● To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
● Before use, check to see if the lock-off button
moves smoothly.
