Angle adjustment
The sole plate can be set to perform bevel cuts up to 45°.
1. Rotate the bevel angle locking lever counter clockwise (Drawing C).
2. Rotate the sole plate to the desired angle.
NOTES:
a. Align the desired angle on the bevel scale with the alignment mark on the soleplate housing.
b. Always make a test cut on a scrap workpiece and check to make sure the bevel cut is correct.
GENERAL CUTTING
1. Make any adjustments to the saw before plugging it into the power source. Adjustments include
cutting depth, bevel cutting angle and edge guide (if installed).
2. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the position of the cut.
3. Hold a smaller workpiece with a vise. Clamp a larger workpiece to a work bench or table. Any
workpiece that is not adequately clamped in place or properly supported for cutting may come loose
or jamb the blade, causing serious injury. Never hold the workpiece in your hand.
4. Make sure there are no nails, screws, clamps or foreign materials in the path of the saw blade.
5. Place the front edge of the sole plate on the workpiece.
6. While firmly gripping the saw, and with the blade NOT in contact with the surface to be cut, start the
saw by depressing the lock-off button and then the trigger switch.
7. Once the saw has reached full speed, gradually bring the moving blade into contact with the
workpiece at the appropriate location. To align the saw blade with the cutting mark, use the guide
marks on the front of the sole plate (Drawing D). Use the 0° cutting mark (1) for right angle cuts. Use
the 45° mark (2) for 45° bevel cuts. The 45° mark will allow for the extra material needed for the angle
cut. Always make a test cut on a scrap workpiece before cutting the new material.
8. Do not force the circular saw. Use only enough force to keep the blade cutting at full speed. Excessive
pressure on the blade will cause it to slow down and overheat, resulting in poor cut quality and
damage to the motor.
