replacing them with new ones. It is dangerous to connect
the plug of a loose cable to a socket.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable reel always unwind
the reel completely.
BEFORE USING THE CIRCULAR SAW:
•Check the following points:
•Does the voltage of the motor correspond with the
mains voltage (appliances for a mains voltage of 230V.
•Are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good
condition: solid, without any loose ends or damage.
•Is the saw blade missing any teeth or showing
any cracks, it so must be replaced immediately.
•Make sure the blade is secure.
•Use this circular saw to saw only wood, wood-like
products.
•Do not use circular saw blades wich are deformed or
damaged.
•Do not use HSS blades.
•Only use blades meeting the required dimensions, as
well as data and descriptions;
Never apply any blades of which the thickness is
greater than that of the riving knife.
•Do not stop the blade of a circular saw by pressing
the blade from the side.
•Check that the blade guard can freely move and fully
closes.
•Never lock-up the guard in the open position.
•Never put sideward pressure on the blade. This may
cause the blade to break.
•Be careful when cutting wood with knots, nails or
cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these can cause the
blade to get stuck.
•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.
