Note: Upon opening your Package, please identify all parts as detailed on Page 2 of this instruction manual.

The Smart Saw Base can be attached to virtually any standard-size right-blade or left-blade circular saw.

When used for free hand cuts, the features of the base provide for chip-free cuts on both sides of the blade while preventing “kick-back” by way of the fin that keeps the kerf open during the cut. chip free cuts are also achieved when the base is used in conjunction with the optional EZ SMART Guide Rail.

Prior to installing your Smart Saw Base, please ensure that you have read and fully understand these instructions and those provided for any power tools that you may use during this installation. Disconnect your saw from the power supply while completing this installation. When required, use hearing and eye protection. A video detailing these installation procedures is available, please visit our website at Eurekazone.com and navigate to the “Product Assembly Instructions” main page.

Area to be trimmed as needed

Off Rail Flat Anti-Chip Insert (AC-1)

● Raise the saw blade, and slide the Off Rail Flat Anti-Chip Insert (AC-1) into place.

● Place the saw on a thick piece of scrap wood, turn the saw on, and slowly lower the blade in order to cut a kerf in the Anti-Chip Insert. Turn the saw off and then raise the blade.

● In order to allow the saw's blade guard to function fully, enlarge the opening in the Smart Base as needed and trim the Anti-Chip Insert as needed, keeping the first 1/4”-1/2” of the kerf intact to maintain anti-chip function [See Diagram]


A key feature of the Smart Saw Base is the interchangeability of the anti-chip inserts which provide for chip-free surfaces on both sides of the blade . The Off Rail Anti-Chip Flat Insert (AC-1) is used for free hand cuts, acting as a “zero- clearance” for your saw when attached to the Smart Saw Base, and is best used in conjunction with the Fin Insert (SB-L&R) and Fin (SB-F) to provide “anti-kickback”.

When the Smart Saw Base is used in conjunction with the EZ Smart Guide Rail (sold separately), the Off Rail Anti-chip Flat Insert (AC-1) is removed from the Smart Saw Base and replaced with the appropriate On Rail Anti-Chip Insert (SB-AC-2-R or SB-AC-2-L). These inserts provide anti-chip protection on the outside edge of the blade while the anti-chip edge attached to the guide rail provides protection for the inside edge of the blade.

Anti-chip protection is only necessary at the front of the blade, corresponding to the size of the blade teeth.

● Setting the Smart Saw Base on to a section of the optional EZ SMART Guide Rail, follow the previous procedures for these inserts.

● Trim and file the SB-AC-2-R or the SB-AC-2-L as needed so that blade guard can move freely and so the saw base is parallel to the work surface. Note: The raised portion of these inserts are intentionally slightly thicker than the track. This allows for fine tuning for optimal anti-chip protection

The Anti-Kickback Fin is essential in helping to reduce the potential for kickback when using your circular saw for free hand cuts The Anti-Kickback Fin follows the kerf to keep the material from binding. It also assists with guiding the saw to ensure a straight cut.

Slotted Insert allows the removable Fin to be inserted for left or right sided use
