How does the left side design differ from a regular circular saw?

Skilsaw designed the “Left” side blade saw back in the 1920’s. It was the first commercially successful saw so wouldn’t that make it the “Regular Circular Saw” ??? There is no such thing. Secondly NO the left side design is NOT for left handed users. Third NO it is NOT more dangerous in the event of kickback. This saw EXCELS for multiple reasons. First is it’s blade speed, it’s higher RPM produces cleaner cuts. The left side design is far more accurate to use for right handed users. The Construction Industry has used the Left Side Design as the mainstay in the form of the “Worm Drive” 7 1/4” saw for decades. If you are looking for a Top Quality Saw look NO further. This is the best finish Saw we have ever used and will never switch until they improve this one. I am sorry AZ540 but you are completely and utterly wrong !!!

the base on my cs5 is a 1/4 " off. does anyone know how to fix this?

Bosch has a good warranty and return policy. So does Amazon. If it is that far off, you need to send it back for warranty repair or replacement. If that's not practical or possible, I would really like to help you. I love this saw and use it every day. When you say it's a 1/4" off, you need to be more specific about it. For example, the left edge of the "base" or "shoe" as it's called, is parallel to, and exactly 1.5 inches from the left side of the saw blade. Using that dimension as a reference, in what way is the base of your saw a quarter inch off? Is the blade perpendicular to the bottom of the "base", and is it parallel to both left and right edges. I've dropped my saw many times with no damage or bad effect on the performance, but I suppose a really hard drop could cause that kind of mis-alignment. I am only speculating. It would be helpful if you could describe the problem in more detail.

Does this saw have a safety toggle switch?
