Ɣ
Insert parallel guide bar into two holes in the saw base ( 5 ).
Ɣ
Set desired distance (use the scale).
Ɣ
use the parallel guide locking knob to fix the parallel guide ( 4 ).
The parallel guide can also be used for cutting at angles ranging from 0 0 to 45 0 .
Never put hand or fingers behind the working saw. When kick back happens the saw can fall on the
hand, it may be the cause of heavy body injury.
MOVING THE LOWER GUARD
Lower guard ( 9 ) of cutting blade ( 6 ) is pushed away automatically as the blade deepens into the material.
To remove it manually push the lower guard lever ( 3 ).
DUST EXTRACTION
Circular saw is equipped with dust outlet ( 1 ) that allows for extraction of sawdust produced when cutting.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the circular saw. Hold the saw with
both hands when starting up, because engine turning moment may cause uncontrolled turn of the
power tool.
Remember that rotating parts of the saw rotate for some time after the tool has been switched off.
The saw is equipped with the switch lock button ( 14 ) that protects against accidental starting.
Switching on:
Ɣ
Press the switch lock button ( 14 ) ( fig. B ).
Ɣ
Press the switch button ( 13 ).
Switching off:
Ɣ
Release pressure on the switch button ( 13 ).
CUTTING
Ɣ
When starting operation always hold the saw firmly with both hands by two handles.
Ɣ
Switch on the circular saw only when it is away from the material that is to be cut.
Ɣ
Do not press the saw too hard. Pressure should be moderate and continuous.
Ɣ
After the cut is finished allow the cutting blade to stop completely.
Ɣ
If the cutting is aborted before the task is completed, prior to continuation start the saw and allow for
idle operation. Wait until the tool achieves its full rotational speed and then carefully drive the cutting
blade into the kerf in the processed material.
Ɣ
When cutting perpendicular to fibres of material (wood), fibres tend to lift up and tear off (moving the
saw slowly minimizes this effect).
Ɣ
Ensure the lower guard reaches its extreme position.
Ɣ
Before starting to cut always ensure that cutting depth locking lever and knob for base bevel adjustment
are tightened firmly.
Ɣ
With the circular saw use only cutting blades with correct arbour hole and outer diameter.
Ɣ
Processed material must be firmly fixed.
Ɣ
Place wider part of the saw base on the part of the material, which is not cut off.
If the object is small, fix the processed material with F-clamps. If the circular saw base does not move
on the processed material, but is lifted instead, there is danger of kick back.
Properly fixed processed material and firm hold of the tool ensure full control over power tool
operation. This allows to avoid risk of body injury. Do not try to hold short pieces of material with
your hand.
BEVEL CUTTING
Ɣ
Loosen the knob for base bevel adjustment ( 17 ) ( fig. C ).
Ɣ
Use the scale to set the saw base to appropriate angle (from 0
0
to 45
0
).
Ɣ
Tighten the knob for base bevel adjustment ( 17 ).
