IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. Read
carefully and understand all ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS before operating. Failure to
follow the safety rules and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
1
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs
with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT
use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety
equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing
protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specic hazards in the work area.
DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle,
or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
DO NOT reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should
be visible below the workpiece.
NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It
is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ″live″ wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
ALWAYS use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
NEVER use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Causes and Operator prevention of Kickback: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into
the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
A. Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw
to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
B. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
C. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as
the saw is restarted.
D. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
E. DO NOT use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
F. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
G. use extra caution when making a ″plunge cut″ into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. DO NOT operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as ″plunge cuts″ and ″compound
cuts.″ Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
ALWAYS observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or oor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pressure treated lumber all have an increased potential
for kickback and should only be cut with a blade for cutting that lumber type. Wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
DO NOT use blades made from high-speed steel, abrasive blades, metal-cutting blades or masonry-
cutting blades. The guards of this saw are not designed to protect against the failure of such blades.
Place the larger portion of the saw base on the larger, supported part of the workpiece. This will help
maintain balance and control while the cut is completed.

SAVE THESE WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Blades must be rated to at least the maximum speed marked on the tool.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information.
Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
DO NOT lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and
pull the tool out of your control.
When using a handheld power tool, maintain a rm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting
torque.
DO NOT leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug
it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
Verify that there are no utility lines or hardware in or near the workpiece. This is especially critical for
plunge cuts.
DO NOT depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• DO NOT use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical
shock.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Vibration Safety: this tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk
of vibration-related injury: anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should rst
be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue

OPERATION
ATTACHING/REPLACING THE SAW BLADE:
1. To remove or replace the saw blade (16), you will rst
need to remove the anchor screw (3) and the outer ange
(4).
2. To do this, you will need to hold the spindle lock (9) and
use the hex key (13) to loosen the arbor screw (3) (clockwise
thread) and outer ange (4).
3. Raise the lower guard (11) by raising the lower guard lever
(5), then remove the saw blade and place the new blade
over the spindle if replacing.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the teeth and arrow printed on the
saw blade are facing the same direction as that of the arrow
on the Circular Saw.
The Guide Fence (15) is used when a straight cut is
required. Loosen the Lock Screw for Guide Fence
(2),then slide the Guide Fence through the two slots located
on the Base Plate(1) and re-tighten the Lock Screw for Guide
Fence (2) to secure into place.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the saw blade spins freely by cautiously
spinning it with one hand.
USING THE GUIDE FENCE
WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE CIRCULAR SAW IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE OUTLET
BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE TO THE TOOL.
IMPORTANT: In order to achieve a straight cut, ensure the
Guide Fence rests against the material you are cutting for
the entire length to be cut.

7
OPERATION
To adjust the angle of the cut, loosen the Angle Locking
Lever (12), then slide to the degree of tilt you require and
tighten to secure.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Once you have adjusted the
angle, ensure you have securely re-tightened
the Angle Locking Lever (12) before using the
tool in order to avoid damage to the tool and injury to the
user.
To achieve the required depth of cut, loosen the Depth
Locking Lever (10) and slide to the desired depth using
the Depth Adjustment Scale (17) as a guide. Once the
desired depth has been set, re-tighten the Depth Locking
Lever (10) and make sure it is secure.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Before using the saw, rst ensure all screws and bolts are tightened and that all the correct
adjustments have been made.
POWERING ON/OFF
Plug the saw into a suitable outlet. To power on the
saw, press the safety switch (6), then simultaneously
squeeze the ON/OFF trigger (7).
NOTE: When the ON/OFF trigger (7) is released, the
saw will stop immediately due to a brake mechanism.
This prevents the saw blade from spinning after you
have released the trigger. To power the tool back on,
you will need to follow the above stops again.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Before cutting any material, always ensure that it is rmly clamped into place and that you will
not be cutting through the table or workbench when adjusting the depth.
NOTE: You can connect a compatible vacuum to the dust extraction outlet (18) to decrease the amount of
dust that is being exhausted from the saw and work area.
GENERAL CUTTING: Never force the saw, always maintain a continuous an light pressure. After completing
cutting cut, always ensure the saw blade has come to cut. When resuming cutting, always allow the saw
blade to reach full speed, then proceed with the cut using rm pressure. When cutting across grain, the
vibration of the wood will have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the saw slowly can minimize the effect.
CAUTION: DO NOT pull the saw backwards

8
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
POCKET CUTTING: Set the depth adjustment scale (17) to the desired cutting depth, re-tighten and plug
the tool back in. With the saw blade barely above the material to be cut, power up the saw and allow the tool
to reach full speed. Gradually lower the blade onto the material to be cut using the front end as a pivot point.
Once the blade begins to cut, release the lower guard (11) using the lower guard lever (5). When the base
plate (1) is resting at on the surface on the surface being cut, proceed to stop in a forward direction for the
length of the cut.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always make sure that the Circular Saw is unplugged from the outlet before making adjustments
or performing maintenance to the tool.
To clean the Circular Saw effectively, it is recommended use compressed air. If unavailable, use a brush to
remove dust and chips from the Saw.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to clean the ventilation outlets regularly so as to prevent the Saw from overheating.
CAUTION: Never use any caustic agents such as gasoline, carbon brush, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household cleaners containing ammonia - to clean the body of the tool. Always check the tool
for damage or wear before each use. In particular, inspect the Saw Blade for wear and clean the exterior body
of the tool with a soft damp cloth using mild detergent to remove dust. Always store in a dry, frost-free place
away from children.
