•Never leave the circular saw unattended.
•Use this circular saw to saw only wood or wood-like
products.
SAFETY TIPS FOR THE LASER BEAMER
•Never look into the light beam of the laser.
•Never point the light beam of the laser at humans or
animals.
•Do not point the light beam of the laser at strongly
reflecting material. Hazard from reflected light.
•Only have repairs made to the laser beamer by
qualified personnel / professional repair specialists.
•Do not insert any hard objects into the laser optics.
•Clean the laser optics with a soft, dry brush.
USING THE MACHINE:
•Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
•Never remove wood chips and saw dust that is close
to the saw blade with your hands. If there are small
pieces of wood left between the fixed and the
movable parts, the circular saw will have to be
stopped. The plug needs to be removed from the
socket, before any left piece can be removed.
•Check that the blade is suitable for the spindle speed
of the circular saw. Do not attempt to cut before the
circular saw has reached full speed. Make sure the
circular saw runs without load (i.e. is not in contact
with the work) when you switch it on. The circular
saw must have reached its full speed first.
•Never cut wood that is thicker than the depth of the
saw blade.
•When cutting in wooden walls or floors, check there
is no wiring or piping where you intend to cut.
•Switch off the tool and wait until the blade has
stopped completely before moving the saw away
from the work or putting it down. Hearing
protection should be worn when using circular saw.
SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY
WHEN YOU DISCOVER:
•A defective mains plug or mains lead;
•A defective switch.
•Overheating of the circular saw.
•Smoke or odeur caused by scorched insulation.
ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before adjusting the saw, make sure the plug is
removed from the socket.
SETTING THE SAWING ANGLE (BEVEL)
Fig. B.
•Loosen the handle (1) that sets the sawing angle.
•Rotate the soleplate to the correct position (0° -
45°), and retighten the handle. The sawing angle
(bevel) can be read on the protractor (2).
FITTING THE RIP FENCE
Fig. B.
•Loosen the knob (3) that clamps the rip fence.
•Slide the rip fence into the special slot(6) in the sole
plate.
•Set the correct cut width and retighten the knob (3).
SETTING THE CUT DEPTH
Fig. C.
•Loosen the handle (1) that sets the sawing depth.
•Move the soleplate (2) downwards.
•The cutting depth of the saw blade can be read off the
curved scale attached to the upper side of the sole
plate.
•Retighten the handle (1) once the correct depth is set.
EXCHANGING OR CLEANING THE SAW
BLADE
Fig. D.
•Use the shaft locking knob (C3) to prevent the shaft
from rotating.
•Next, loosen the hexagonal bolt (3) in the centre of
the saw blade, using the box spanner.
•Turn the safety guard to the rear, and hold it there
with the aid of the knob (1).
•Remove the outside flange and the saw blade, and
clean the saw blade or replace it with a new one.
•Again place the saw blade back on the shaft. Ensure
that the teeth of the saw blade are pointing in the
same direction as the riving knife (4).
•Allow the safety guard to return over the saw blade
by releasing the knob (1).
•Press the shaft locking knob (C3) back in, refit the
outside flange (5) and tighten the hexagon bolt (3)
firmly, once more.
RENEWING AND REPLACING THE CARBON
BRUSHES
Fig. E.
•Remove the rear protective cover (no. 1) from the
motor casing, after first loosening the two Phillips
screws.
•Loosen the screw of the carbon brush holder.
•Withdraw the carbon brush holder from the casing,
and remove the old carbon brush.
•Fit the new carbon brush into the holder, and return
the holder to its location in the casing.
•Re-tighten the screw in the carbon brush holder.
•Replace both carbon brushes at the same time, and
never mix old and new brushes in this tool.
•Replace the rear protective cover (no. 1) on the
motor casing, and tighten the two Phillips screws.
Frequent use will cause the carbon brushes to wear
down. Regular inspection, after every 30 hours of
use, is essential. If the brushes have worn down to less than 4
mm, replace.
OPERATION
SWITCHING ON/OFF
Fig. E.
•Depress knob (B) with your right-hand thumb and
keep it depressed.
•Depress knob (A) to start the saw.
•Release knob (A) to stop the saw.
OPERATION
•Hold the work using clamps or a vice to have both
hands free to operate the saw.
