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 firmly on the work piece.
1. FITTING/CHANGING A SAW BLADE (See Fig. A1, A2,
A3)
Press the spindle lock button (19) and use the hex key to
loosen and remove the blade bolt (11). Remove the washer
(A) and the outer flange (10). Rotate the lower blade guard
clockwise by pushing the guard lever to take out the old
blade (12). Fit a replaced blade. Ensure that the blade bore
is located on the inner flange (B) and the blade direction
arrow points in the same direction as the fixed guard arrow.
Place the outer flange, the washer and the blade bolt onto
the blade bore. Press the spindle lock again and use the hex
key to tighten the bolt with 1/4 turn more than finger tight.
Check if the blade is securely clamped.
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp. For best
cutting results ensure you use a saw blade suited to
the material and cut quality you need.
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. 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.
4. DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET (See Fig. D)
Fasten the vacuum adapter (14) onto the dust extraction
outlet until it latches. Additionally fasten the vacuum adapter
(14) to the fixed guard with the two screws. Directly connect
a suitable vacuum hose to the adapter.
● The vacuum adapter must not be mounted
when no external dust extraction is connected.
Otherwise there is danger of the extraction system
becoming clogged.
Clean the vacuum adapter regularly to ensure
optimum dust extraction. The vacuum cleaner must be
suitable for the material to be worked.

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. 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.
7. CUTTING GUIDE (See Fig. G, H)
There is a cutting guide notch (8) on the front of the base
plate (10) 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.
8. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. I)
It is used for making cuts parallel to a workpiece edge at a
chosen distance. Slide the parallel guide arm through the
fixture to achieve the required cutting distance then tighten
the lock knob to clamp. It can be used from both sides of
the base plate. For straight cuts, use the 0° guide mark to
align with your parallel guide scale. For a 45° bevel cut, use
the 45° guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale.
Securely clamp the parallel guide.
NOTE: It is best to carry out a trial cut.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
If your power tool 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 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. 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 finished. Feeding too fast
significantly 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.
