Same problem with mine but I.found a guy's blog on google and he had identical problem and found the "pre travel switch," that they saw fit to put in the saw was the culprit. It's not a typical switch and has issues making contact often times (Ryobi are you listening?) He was able to take it apart and make a adj/repair (instructions he provides on blog) but who knows how long it will last? Here's the link:)-> http://www.woodtalkonline.com/topic/9508-ryobi-circular-saw-broken-and-fixed/
Probably something jammed up inside the body of the saw where the guard retracts, like a chip of wood. I once had the same problem with my circular saw guard not retracting. Turned out there was a screw that had somehow gotten trapped in there and once that was removed, guard functions perfectly now. Definitely sort it out as soon as possible because this is very dangerous--you could make a cut, rest the saw on your leg and... earn a quick trip to the emergency room.

Clean the armature and install new brushes, the armature is burned with carbon and loses its ability to conduct electricity properly. Make sure to in between every copper rib on the armature so it doesn't ground itself back out.
1. immediatelly switch off saw 2. remove cord from the plug 3. remove blade from machine 4. reverse blade 180degree and install it in direction of the rotation! if you look at saw from the blade side, rotation is clockwise!!! and cutting edge of teh teeth should point clockwise! 5. install and tighten the blade 6. plug in and switch in short burst only, check if it is rotating in proper direction and blade have teeth in proper direction 7. make test cut
Do not forget that this is not a toy, blade on circular saw cut through wood, metal and your fingers... always wear googles or eye/face protection shield, you have only two eyes and no spares...
Enjoy your woodworking experience! Always observe safety and machine rules.
Hope this allow you to fix the problem. Please leave note how did you go.
saws draw a lot of amps at start up and will normally blow any GFi circuit, if it does the same in a normal outlet,, you might have to disassemble your saw for a good cleaning and lube,,
There is no such stepp to operate a circular saw.The only not ready to operate it is the setings of the angle,thickness,width and Guides for cutting.,and none with the electrical system.Becoz when you plug in & switch it will automatically turn the blades absolutely..
GET RID TO THE INPUT VOLTAGE! be careful .are you here in philippines?if that so,we have a 220-240 volts supply of power here.Read the voltage input of the unit written on the body of the unit itself.If it is 100 0r 110 volts then DONOT plug-in and switch it.you need a transformer.
