Step 4Mounting the saw for the cut
Mount your circular saw to the hardboard panel. You'll notice that you need to release the height mechanism and set the depth for "0."
Clamp the assembly to a structure such as a workbench so that there is nothing beneath the saw blade.
Once you have the assembly clamped in position and verified that you have clearance beneath your saw, turn on your saw and cut through your hardboard until your saw reaches it's maximum depth. This creates a slot for you blade to pass through.
I would recommend using the widest kerf blade you own to make the cut and removing some extra material around the blade with a chisel or a rasp to create a clearance. You do not want to have your blade rubbing against the hardboard when you are making your long cuts.
