OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for lengthways
and crossways cutting of wood with
straight cutting lines as well as bevel angles
to 45° while resting rmly on the work
piece.
ADJUSTMENT
With this saw there are two things you can
adjust: the blade cutting depth and the
bevel cutting angle.
1. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 1)
Lift the depth of cut lock lever and raise the
saw body away from the base plate. Set
the depth of cut with the scale and push
the lever down to lock. Always add 3mm to
your depth of cut so that the blade can cut
through the material.
2. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 2)
Turn the base plate bevel lock in anti-
clockwise direction to loosen the angle
scale. Tilt the base plate away from the
machine until the required cutting angle
is adjusted on the angle scale. Tighten
the bevel lock by turning it in clockwise
direction. Do not use the depth of cut scale
when making bevel cuts due to possible
inaccuracy.
USING THE CIRCULAR SAW
1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig. 3)
Your switch is locked off to prevent
accidental starting. Depress the lock off
button then the on/off switch and release
the lock off button. Your switch is now on.
To switch off, just release the on/off switch.
The blade may continue to rotate after
switching off. Wait until the machine comes
to a complete stop before setting down.
2. CUTTING GUIDE (See Fig. 4, 5)
There is a cutting guide notch on the front
of the base plate for use with a parallel
guide. For straight cuts, use the 0º guide
mark to align with your parallel guide scale.
For a 45º bevel cut, use the 45º guide
mark to align with your parallel guide scale.
Securely clamp the parallel guide. Always
make a trial cut to check the setting.
3. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. 6)
The parallel guide enables exact cuts along
a workpiece edge and cutting strips of the
same dimension. It can be used from both
sides of the base plate.
4. CUTTING OPERATION
Set the required base plate angle and
cutting depth. Place front of the base plate
on the workpiece (do not allow the blade to
touch the workpiece at this time).
Start the saw. When the saw reaches the
maximum speed, push it forward slowly.
Always hold your saw rmly with both
hands when operating.
5. FITTING / REPLACING A SAW
BLADE (See Fig. 7, 8)
Press the spindle lock button and use the
hex key to loosen and remove the blade
bolt(A). Remove the blade bolt (A), the
washer (B) and the outer ange (C). Rotate
the lower blade guard clockwise by pushing
the guard lever to take out the old blade
(11). Fit a replaced blade. Ensure that the
blade bore is located on the inner ange
(D) and the blade direction arrow points
in the same direction as the lower blade
guard arrow. Place the outer ange (C), the
washer (B) and the blade bolt (A) onto the
blade bore. Tighten the bolt with 1/4 turn
more than nger tight. Check if the blade is
securely clamped.
