6. Check for proper operation of the brake. This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. Before using the circular saw, ensure that the electric brake functions properly. If it does not, bring the tool to a JOHN DEERE Authorized Service Center. 7. Prepare a wooden work bench (Fig. 6). Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surfaceof the lumber, place the lumber on a work bench whencutting. If a square block is utilized as a work bench, select level ground to ensure it is properly stabilized. An unstable work bench will result in hazardous operation. (Fig. 6) CAUTION: TO AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENT, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE PORTION OF LUMBER REMAINING AFTER CUTTING IS SECURELY ANCHORED OR HELD IN POSITION. Cordless Circular Saw Operator's Manual Operation PRE-OPERATION: ADJUSTING THE SAW PRIOR TO USE: 1. Adjusting the cutting depth (Fig. 7): WARNING: IF THE WING-NUT IS LOOSE, INJURY CAN RESULT. TIGHTEN IT SECURELY AFTER ADJUSTMENT. To adjust cutting depth, loosen the wing-nut and while holding the base with one hand, move the main body up and (Fig. 7) down to obtain the prescribed cutting depth. After adjusting to the prescribed cutting depth, tighten the wing-nut securely. 2. Adjusting the angle of inclination: WARNING: IF THE WING-NUT IS LOOSE, INJURY CAN RESULT. TIGHTEN IT SECURELY AFTER ADJUSTMENT. As shown in Fig. 8 by loosening the wing-nut on the inclined gauge, the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of45° in relation to the base. Always insure that the wing-nut isthoroughly tightened after making the desired adjustment. (Fig. 8) NOTE: Values of the inclined gauge provided on the base merely serve as a rough guideline. For cutting operation at an inclined posture, use the circular saw after adjusting the angle between the base and the saw blade with a protractor, etc. 3. Adjusting the guide piece: On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine adjustment of the fixing position of the guide piece, where the saw blade and the pre-marked line are to be aligned. When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned with the central position of the saw blade. (Fig. 9) (Fig. 9) Loosen the fixed screw on the guide piece, should the the position. (Fig. 10) NOTE: the pre-marked line become aligned. 4. Regulating the guide (Fig. 11): mounted on either the right or left side of the tool. Cordless Circular Saw Operator's Manual 19 fixing position be wrong, and make necessary adjustment ofFor cutting operation at the inclination of 45 degrees, make adjustment so that the notch on the guide piece andThe cutting position can be regulated by moving the guide tothe left or right after loosening its wing-bolt. The guide may be (Fig. 10)(Fig. 11) Operation OPERATION: WARNING: NEVER TOUCH THE MOVING PARTS. NEVER OPERATE THE CIRCULAR SAW WITH THE SAW BLADE TURNED UPWARD OR TO THE SIDE. DO NOT FIX AND SECURE THE SWITCH LOCK. BESIDES, KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE SWITCH TRIGGER WHEN THE CIRCULAR SAW IS BEING CARRIED AROUND. OTHERWISE, THE MAIN BODY SWITCH CAN BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON, RESULTING IN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENTS. KEEP THE LIGHT ON DURING CUTTING OPERATION ONLY. IF IT IS LIT ON IN OTHER CASES, THE MAIN BODY SWITCH CAN BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON, RESULTING IN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENTS. CAUTION: DON’T REMOVE CIRCULAR SAW FROM WORKPIECE DURING A CUT WHILE THE SAW BLADE IS MOVING. PULL OUT THE BATTERY AFTER COMPLETING OPERATION. NOTE: Take care not to lock the motor. If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or battery may be burnt. 1. Operation of switch (trigger and light switch) (Fig. 12): a. For safe operation of the machine, a “switch lock” is provided on the side of a handle. If the “switch lock” is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the main switch can be turned ON. The “switch lock” is used as the “light switch”. If the “switch lock” is engaged, the light is turned ON. b. After the switch is turned ON, even when you release your hand from the switch lock, the body continues running and the light continues being turned ON as long as you keep on pulling the switch trigger. c. If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF the switch and the “switch lock” returns to the original position automatically and the light turns OFF. 2. Working performance per single charge (Reference data): Cutting capability differs according to the condition of lumber, type of saw blade, ambient temperature, battery characteristics, etc. (Fig. 12) Wood Capacity 2 x 8 (Spruce-Pine-Fir) 80 (cuts) Concrete form plywood (1/2” /12 mm) 100 ft (30 m) To improve working efficiency per single charge, • Minimize operation (no-load operation) other than cutting; • Avoid any unreasonably forced pressure to the motor during cutting operation by twisting or pressing the circular saw forcibly; • Avoid any use of dull saw blade.
