Operation

• Before using the saw, practise on scrap material. The settings of the machine are crucial
to achieving a good quality finish, and your work could easily be damaged by using an
incorrect setting
Handling your circular saw
• Always hold the saw securely, with both hands, by the handles provided
• Always allow the blade to come to a complete stop before placing the machine down
• Always make sure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate
Making a cut
1. Hold the saw securely and rest the front edge of the Base Plate (14) on the edge of the
GB
workpiece
2. Check the blade is not in contact with the workpiece or any other object
3. Start the machine by pressing in the Lock Off Button (2) and squeezing the On/Off Trigger
(3)
Note: The saw is fitted with two Lock Off Buttons - one on each side of the saw - to allow left
or right-handed operation.
4. Allow the motor to reach full speed and push the saw forwards smoothly across the
workpiece
5. Maintain a steady movement and ensure the Base Plate is kept pressed against the
workpiece
NOTE: The front edge of the Base Plate features an indentation. For normal 0° cutting, align
the left side, 0° Line (18) with the line to be cut, for 45˚ bevel cutting align the right side, 45°
Line (19) with the line to be cut.
6. Allow the blade to pass through the material and release the On/Off Trigger. Alternatively, if
the cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece, release the On/Off Trigger and allow the
blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut
7. Do not place the machine down until the blade has stopped completely
