INTRODUCTION Thank You for Purchasing a PowerSmart® Product. This manual provides information regarding the safe operation and maintenance of this product. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this manual. PowerSmart® reserves the right to change this product and specifications at any time without prior notice. Please keep this manual available to all users during the entire life of the power tool.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your power tool works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA SAFETY Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ELECTRIC MINI CIRCULAR SAW Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Cutting Procedures WARNING: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Lower Guard Function Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. Check the operation of the lower guard spring.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION WARNING: Do not use this product if any parts on the packing list are already assembled to your product when you unpack it. Parts on this list are not assembled to the product by the manufacturer and require customer installation.

INSTALL THE RIP GUIDE To install the rip guide on the machine, perform the following steps. Unplug your circular saw. Insert the rip guide (7) through all three slots on the base plate (3) at the front of the saw, starting with slot in the left side edge of the base. Slide the left guide (7) through the slots until it extends out the right side of the base plate(3). Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and then securely tighten the rip guide locking screw (12).
Angle Adjustment Loosen the bevel scale bracket (10) for angle adjustment. Adjust the base plate (3) to the desired angle between 0°to45° Tighten the bevel scale bracket(10). CUTTING METHODS Parallel Cut Adjustment Loosen the lock knob of edge guide. Slide the edge guide through the slots in the shoe to the desired width. Tighten the lock bolt to secure it in the position. Ensure that the edge guide rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent parallel cuts.
LASER FUNCTION WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam, do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s. When you make the line of the cut on the work piece, the laser line generator can help you get better alignment. The laser generator switch is located at the front of the safety lock button for the mechanical plunge stop. Turn on: Press the laser generator switch to “I” position, the laser generator (1) works.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the tool, as an excessive buildup of dust will prevent the tool from operating correctly. The dust extraction port (5) may block and require cleaning occasionally, especially if damp wood is being cut. 1.
