1200W Circular Saw
MODEL No.: PSC1856.A • 02/2021 • 704518
Working hints for your circular saw
If your saw becomes too hot, run your circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut.
The quality of cut will improve as the number of blade teeth increases.
Always ensure the work-piece is rmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Support large panels close to the cut line.
Any movement of the material may aect the quality of the cut. The blade
cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or edges of
your work piece. When cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is nished. Feeding too fast signicantly
reduces the performance of the machine and shortens the life of the
saw blade. Always face the good side of the work-piece down, to ensure
minimum splintering. Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type.
Making a cut
1. Mark the line of cut on your work piece.
2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required per previous
instructions.
3. When making 90° cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the outer
blade guide notch on the base plate (7) of the saw (Fig. H).
4. When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade
guide notch on the base plate (7) of the saw (Fig. H).
5. Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece (Fig. I).
6. Start the motor by depressing the lock o button (13) and squeezing the
on/o trigger (12).
NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds)
before you begin to cut into the work piece.
7. Slowly push the circular saw forward using both hands (Fig. J).
8. When making a cut always use steady, even pressure. Forcing the circular
saw causes rough cuts and could shorten the life of the circular saw or cause
kickback. Allow the blade and the circular saw to do the work.
9. After completing your cut, release the on/o trigger (12) and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
