Ring WARNING: BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury. WARNING: If the ring is needed to mount the blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend to use is installed between the inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of the blade causing blade movement and severe vibration resulting in possible loss of control during operation and in serious personal injury. Blade guard cleaning When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check lower guard operation before each use. OPERATION CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury. NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its full capacity. Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the circular saw blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury. Hook CAUTION: Always remove the batteries when hanging the tool with the hook. CAUTION: Never hook the tool at high locations or on the surfaces where the tool may lose the balance and fall. CAUTION: Do not pull the tool hooked downward. The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily. To use the hook, simply lift up hook until it snaps into the open position. When not in use, always lower hook until it snaps into the closed position. 1 ► 1 . Hook 11 ENGLISH
