INTRODUCTION
DOUBLE INSULATION
is a concept
in safety, in
electric power tools, which eliminates
the need for
the usual three wire grounded
power cord and
grounded supply system. Wherever there is electric
current in the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts
are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation.

IMPORTANT
-- Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician.
For service we suggest
you
return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair.
Always use original factory replacement
parts when
servicing.

SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they
are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a
dull blade will place a heavy load on your saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on
hand, so that sharp blades are always available.

LUBRICATION -- All of the bearings in this tool are
lubricated
with a sufficient
amount of high grade
lubricant
for the life of the unit under normal
operating conditions,
therefore, no further lubrication is required.

Gum and wood pitch hardened on blade will slow it
down. Use gum and pitch remover Cat. No. 9-49191,
hot water, or kerosene to remove these accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.

reduces the possibility
of accidental
starting. You
must depress the button on top of the handle in
order to be able to pull the trigger switch. The lock
resets each time the trigger is released.

Before attempting
to use your saw, familiarize
yourself with all operating features (See Figure 1)

OPERATION
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard attached to your circular saw
is there for your protection and safety. It should
never be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate your saw until the damage has
been repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in
operating position when using your saw.

LOWER BLADE GUARD
IS IN UP POSITION WHEN
MAKING CUT

When sawing through 'work, lower
blade guard does not cover blade on underside of
work. See Figure 4.
Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep
hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part
of your body coming in contact with moving blade
will result in serious injury. Never use saw when
guard is not operating correctly. Guard should be
checked for correct operation before each use.
NOTE: The guard is operating correctly when it
moves freely and readily returns to the down position. If you drop your saw, check the lower blade
guard for damage to all depth settings before reuse.

TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK:
1. Always keep the correct blade depth setting
the correct blade depth setting for all cuts has one
whole tooth projected below the material to be

blades, only one-half of a
tooth). See Figure 4.
2. Inspect the work for knots or nails before

WHEN USING YOUR SAW ALWAYS STAY ALERT
AND EXERCISE CONTROL. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR

DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct
blade depth setting for all cuts has one whole tooth
projecting
below the material to be cut. (For carbidetipped blades, only one-half of a tooth). More blade
depth will increase the chance of kickback
and
cause the cut to be rough.

Before beginning a cut, draw a guide line along the
desired line of cut. Then place front edge of base on
that part of your work that is solidly supported. See
Figure 10.
NEVER PLACE YOUR SAW ON THAT PART OF THE
WORK THAT WILL FALL OFF WHEN THE CUT IS
MADE. See Figure 11.
Keep the cord away from cutting
area. ALWAYS
place the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the
work while making a cut.
_lf
the cord hangs up on the work during
a cut, release the switch trigger immediately.
Unplug
your saw and reposition
the cord to prevent it from
hanging up again.

WRONG
Fig. 11

_Using
your saw with a damaged cord
could result in serious injury or death. If the cord has
been damaged, have it replaced before using your
saw again.
Hold your saw firmly with both hands. See Figure 10.
Push the lock-off
button down and squeeze the
switch trigger. NOTE: The lock-off button is located
on top of the handle. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE
REACH FULL SPEED, THEN GUIDE YOUR SAW INTO THE WORK.

REMEMBER:
When sawing through work, the lower blade guard
does not cover the blade, exposing it on the underside of work. Keep your hands and fingers away from
cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with the moving blade will result in serious
injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop. DO NOT
REMOVE YOUR SAW FROM WORKPIECE WHILE
THE BLADE IS MOVING.

When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Forcing causes rough cuts, could shorten the life of your
saw and could cause "kickback."

_When
lifting your saw from the work
the blade is exposed on the underside of your saw
until the lower blade guard closes, Make sure lower
blade guard is (}tosed before setting your saw down
on work surface.
Page 9

OPERATION
TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of
cut with the outer edge of the notch in the saw base
as shown in figure 12. Since the thickness of blades
vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a
guideline
to determine
how much,
if any, the
guideline must be offset to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the
guideline
is the amount
you should
offset
the
guideline.

RIP GUIDE
Use a rip guide when making rip cuts up to five
inches wide. It helps prevent the blade from twisting
in a cut. The blade twisting in a cut causes kickback.

TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired setting between zero and 45 degrees. There
is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the
blade with the line of cut. See Figure 15. Align your
line of cut with the inner edge of the notch in the saw
base when making full 45 degree bevel cuts. Since
the thickness of blades vary and different angles require different settings, always make a trial cut in
scrap material along a guideline to determine
how
much you should offset the guideline on the board to
be cut.

GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent
an important
part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced only by a qualified s_rvice technician.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass
boat
sports cars, etc., it has been found that they are sut
ject to accelerated
wear and possible
prematut
failure, as the fiberglass
chips and grindings
a_
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutato
etc. Consequently
it is not recommended
that th
tool be used for extended work on any fibergla_
material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremel
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blov
ing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR
SAFET
GLASSES, DUST MASK, OR EYESHIELDS BEFOR
BEGINNING POWER TOOL OPERATION OR BLOV
ING DUST.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics
are susceptible
to various types of
commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust,
etc.
