Maintenance
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discolouration, deformation or cracks may result.
If the lower guard is not functioning properly, check if saw dust is accumulated inside
of the upper and lower guards.
If the lower guard is not functioning properly even after removing dust, have your tool
serviced at a Bormann service center.
Cutting operation
CAUTION: Wear dust mask when performing cutting operation.
CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting
the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing
severe injury.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the tool may not work to its full
capacity. At this time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for a while until the
battery cartridge warms up as high as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to
its full capacity.
4. Stopper
1. Rip fence (Guide rule), 2. Clamping screw
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle.
Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the circular saw blade.
Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the circular saw blade making any contact.
Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular saw blade attains full speed.
Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform.
If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line.
Doing so may bind the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.
Release switch, wait for circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw tool.
Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.
Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
NOTICE: Do not cover vents when working, or it may cause over-heating and damage to the tool.
NOTE: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
CAUTION: Make sure that the rip fence is securely installed in the correct position
before use. Improper attachment may cause dangerous kickback.
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip
fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the
clamping screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width
possible.
CAUTION: Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure there is no accumulated saw-dust which may impede the operation of the lower guarding system.
A dirty guarding system may limit the proper operation which could result in serious personal injury.
The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of the guards, be sure the proper eye and breathing
protection is used.
CAUTION: After each use, wipe off the saw dust on the tool. Fine saw dust may come inside the tool and cause malfunction or a fire.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Bormann authorized or factory service
centers, always using Bormann replacement parts.
