Intended Use
This circular saw is design for do-it-yourself, wood-
cuttingapplications.

WARNING: Do not cut any metals, masonry, glass,

WARNING: Cutting sap coated wood, and
other materials may cause melted substances to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw
blade, increasing the risk of the blade overheating and
binding whilecutting.
