Operating Instructions NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. Intended Use This tool is intended for lengthways and crossways cutting of wood with straight cutting lines as well as bevel angles to 45° while resting firmly on the work piece. 1. FITTING / REPLACING A SAW BLADE (SEE FIG A1, A2, A3) Hold the outer flange (b) and rotate the blade bolt (a) in anti-clockwise direction with the allen key. Remove the blade bolt (a) and the outer flange (b).
Operating Instructions 2. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG B) 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. 3. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG C1, C2) Turn the base plate bevel lock in anti-clockwise direction to loosen the angle scale.
Operating Instructions 5. HAND GRIP POSITION (SEE FIG E) Always hold your saw firmly with both hands when operating. 6. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG F) 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.

Working Hints For Your Circular Saw If your power tool becomes too hot, run it 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 increase. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Support large panels close to the cut line. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut.

Technical Data Vibration Information WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
