OPERATING PROCEDURES
BLADES
Your Circular Saw is designed to accept standard 7-1/4" (185 mm) saw blades with
5/8" (16 mm) arbor.
INSTALLING A SAW BLADE
IMPORTANT: Unplug the saw.
1. Turn the blade stud counter-clockwise with the wrench provided and remove
the blade stud and outer washer. If the shaft moves while attempting to loosen
the blade stud, strike the wrench counter-clockwise to jar loose.
2. Retract the lower guard all the way up into the upper guard. While retracting
the lower guard, check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring.
3. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the blade point in the same direction as
the arrow on the lower guard.
4. Slide the blade through the slot in the shoe and mount it against the inner
washer on the shaft. Be sure the large diameter of the inner and outer washer
lay flush against the blade.
5. Reinstall the outer washer and tighten the blade stud finger tight. Place the
balde on a piece of scrap wood and hold the saw securely by the upper guard
(teeth imbedded in the wood) and tighten the blade stud until snug with the
wrench provided.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF CUT
IMPORTANT: Unplug the saw.
1. See the angle scale on the front of the saw
2. Loosen the angle screw.
3. Hold the saw by the handle in one hand.
4. With the other hand grasp the base plate and tilt it to the desired angle accord-
ing to the angle scale.
5. Tighten the angle screw to lock the angle. You may want to make a test cut on
scrap material to verify the angle before proceeding.
