of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating  
power tools may result in serious personal injury.  
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long  
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose  
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.  
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the  
switch ON invites accidents.  
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A  
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in  
personal injury.  
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected  
situations.  
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-  
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for  
appropriate conditions.  
TOOLS USE AND CARE  
1. Use clamps or other practical way 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.  
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The  
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that  
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive  
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.  
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are  
easier to control.  
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of  
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If  
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused  
by poorly maintained tools.  
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for  
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become  
hazardous when used on another tool.  
SERVICE  
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.  
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a  
risk of injury.  
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow  
instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of  
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a  
risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS FOR CIRCULAR  
SAWS  
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and 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.  
2. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in  
line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump  
backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Prevention of KICKBACK”).  
3. Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from  
the blade below the work.  
4. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not  
operate 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.  
5. Check the operation and condition 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 buildup of debris.  
6. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such  
as “Pocket Cuts” and “Compound Cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting  
handle. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be  
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.  
7. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before  
placing saw down on bench or floor. 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.  
8. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your Ieg. It is  
important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade  
binding, or loss of control.  
9. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an  
operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own  
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool  
“live” and shock the operator.  
10. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This  
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.  
11. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round)  
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will  
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.  
12. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade  
washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum  
performance and safety of operation.  
13. 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.  
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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or  
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:  
14. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a  
way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be  
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

900004 - 06-07-02.qxd 6/24/02 1:13 PM Page 5  
15. 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.  
16. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the  
kerf and check that 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.  
17. 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.  
18. Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades  
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.  
19. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and  
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will  
cause binding and KICKBACK.  
20. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or  
other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause  
KICKBACK.  
21. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care  
to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.  
Request, and follow, all safety information available from your material supplier.  
22.

MOTOR  
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60  
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on  
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for  
A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper  
voltage and current rating.  
CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage  
is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on  
D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.  
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION  
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to  
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible  
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found  
below. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for  
230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.  
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix  
W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to  
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

TELESCOPING GUARD  
WARNING: The telescoping  
guard (A) Fig. 3, is a safety  
device important to your  
protection. Every time you  
use the saw, see that the  
telescoping guard rotates  
freely and returns quickly and  
completely to its closed  
position. At least once a  
month,  
remove  
any  
accumulated sawdust, pitch,  
etc., from the area around the  
hub (B), of the telescoping  
Fig. 3  
guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film  
lubricated surface that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge  
the telescoping guard in the open position.  
CAUTION: NEVER use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in  
working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding  
exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE  
SERVICE STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair.  
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING  
It is recommended that the depth of cut be adjusted so that the saw blade just  
protrudes through the thickness of material being cut. Adjust depth of cut as  
follows:  
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.  
2. Lift up depth adjustment locking lever (A) Fig. 4, at rear of saw.  
3. Raise or lower saw housing until the blade extends the desired distance  
below base.  
1
NOTE: The upper guard (B) Fig. 4, is marked in /4" increments for  
convenience in setting depth of cut. Align the depth segment mark  
(C) Fig. 4, with the desired depth marking on the guard.  
4. Press depth adjusting locking lever down firmly locking saw in selected  
position.

Fig. 13  
HOW TO USE THE SAW  
For maximum protection of the operator, effective control of this powerful saw  
requires two-handed operation.  
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold  
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal  
injury. Fig. 14 illustrates proper hand support of the saw.  
Clamp work on a rigid support such as a bench or saw horses. See Fig. 14.  
Mark the line of cut on the work. Be sure cut-off line is beyond end of support  
to the left only enough to allow proper operation of the telescoping guard.  
Place front edge of saw squarely on work before starting motor. Sight the  
cutting line with the line-of-cut indicator Fig. 9. Back saw up slightly and start  
motor. Move saw forward keeping the edge of line indicator parallel to line of  
cut.  
CAUTION: Keep the cord away from cutting area, so it does not get  
hung up in the work being cut. See Fig. 14.  
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at the rate of speed permitted  
by the type of cut and the material being cut. When the cut is completed,  
release the switch and allow the blade to stop before lifting the saw from the  
work. On through-cuts, be sure the lower blade guard is closed, before setting  
the saw down.

Fig. 14  
CROSSCUTTING  
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called crosscutting.  
Fig. 14 illustrates a crosscut operation. Position the work so that the cut will  
be on the left, as shown.  
RIPPING  
Cutting wood lengthwise is referred to as ripping. This operation is performed  
in the same manner as crosscutting with the exception of supporting the  
material to be cut. If material is supported on a large table, bench or floor,  
several pieces of scrap stock approximately one inch thick should be placed  
beneath the material to allow clearance for the portion of the saw blade that  
extends through the material. Large sheets of paneling or thin plywood  
supported on saw horses should have 2 x 4’s placed lengthwise between the  
horses and the material, to prevent it from sagging in the center.  
For narrow rip cuts, the rip guide, available as an accessory can be used. The  
saw is guided by keeping the inner face of the rip guide, Fig. 13, tight against  
the edge of the board.  
For making wider cuts, such as might be made in plywood and wide sheets,  
a wooden guide strip or a commercial cutting guide can be tacked or clamped  
to the work. The left edge of the saw base can then be guided, as shown in  
Fig. 15. NOTE: The line of the cut must be adjusted to allow for the width of  
the guide.

BEVEL CUTTING  
Bevel cuts are made in the same manner as crosscuts and rip cuts. The only  
difference is that the blade is set at an angle between 0° and 45°, as shown in  
Fig. 16.  
The bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is called a compound  
cut. There are certain compound cuts, on which it may be necessary to  
manually retract the telescoping guard to allow the blade to enter into and/or  
through the cut.  
CAUTION: Use the lever (A) Fig. 14, provided on the telescoping  
guard when you have to retract the telescoping guard manually.  
Fig. 16  
POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING)  
A pocket cut is one which must be made inside the area of the material and  
not starting from the edge. Mark the area clearly with lines on all sides. Start  
near the corner of one side and place front edge of saw base firmly on the  
work. Hold saw up so blade clears the material. Be sure you have adjusted the  
blade properly for depth of cut. Push the telescoping guard lever all the way  
back so the blade is exposed as shown in Fig. 17. Start the motor and lower  
the blade into the work. After the blade has cut through, and the base rests  
flat on the work, follow the line right up to the corner. Use a keyhole or bayonet  
saw to cut the corners out clean.

MAINTENANCE  
KEEP TOOL CLEAN  
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts  
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean  
plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.  
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.  
FAILURE TO START  
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug  
are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open  
circuit breakers in the line.  
LUBRICATION  
Your machine is lubricated at the factory with sufficient lubricant to last for  
approximately 100 hours of operation. To add lubricant, it is necessary to  
dismantle the tool. This operation should always be handled by the nearest  
PORTER-CABLE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. All repairs and servicing  
made by these centers are fully guaranteed against defective materials and  
workmanship.  
BRUSH INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION  
For your continued safety and electrical protection, brush inspection and  
replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by an AUTHORIZED  
PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER-CABLEDELTA FACTORY  
SERVICE CENTER.  
At approximately 100 hours of use, take or send your tool to your nearest  
authorized Porter-Cable Service Station to be thoroughly cleaned and  
inspected. Have worn parts replaced and lubricate with fresh lubricant. Have  
new brushes installed, and test the tool for performance.  
Any loss of power before the above maintenance check may indicate the need  
for immediate servicing of your tool. DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE TOOL  
UNDER THIS CONDITION. If proper operating voltage is present, return your  
tool to the service station for immediate service.  
SERVICE AND REPAIRS  
All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to  
wear from normal use. These operations, including brush inspection and  
replacement, should ONLY be performed by either an AUTHORIZED  
PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER-CABLEDELTA FACTORY  
SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully guaranteed  
against defective material and workmanship. We cannot guarantee repairs  
made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies.  
Should you have any questions about your tool, feel free to write us at any  
time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the  
nameplate of your tool (model number, type, serial number, etc.).
