Cutting
Fig. 6
Maintain firm contact with the workpiece to
prevent vibration and do not tilt or apply pressure
and when cutting. Use moderate pressure when
working, appropriate to the material that is being
worked on. Do not slow down grinding discs
by applying sideways counter pressure. The
direction in which you want to cut is important.
The machine must always work against the
direction of the cut; so never move the machine
in the other direction! There is the risk that the
machine will catch in the cut causing kickback and
that you will lose control.

Never use the machine to grind
magnesium workpieces.
5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
This machine has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a
soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt
does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with
soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Trouble shooting
Below we have listed a few probable causes and
solutions to which you can refer if your circular
saw does not function properly.
1. Machine fails to operate.
• Power turned off.
• (Extension) cable damaged.
2. The elektromotor hardly reaches
maximum speed.
• The extension cable is too thin and/or too
long.
• The mains voltage is lower than 230 V.
3. Machine overheats.
• Air vents are blocked. Clean them with a dry
cloth.
• The machine has been overloaded. Use the
machine for the purpose it is made for.
4. Excessive sparking or elektromotor runs
irregular.
• There’s dirt inside the motor or the carbon
brushes are worn.
• Replace the carbon brushes or bring the
machine to a specialized repair centre.
