Working Hints For Your Circular Saw
If your power tool becomes too hot, run it 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 tool 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.
For pocket cutting (soft materials only) this operation requires much skill with a saw and
must only be carried out by a competent person.
WARNING:
The blade teeth are exposed during this operation, so operate with
extreme caution.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of cut on the saw. Position the saw over
the marked area with the front edge of the base plate resting on the work surface and
cutting guide aligned with marked line on workpiece. Ensure the blade is not touching but
is close to the work surface. The moving lower guard must be rotated open by using the
lever. Switch on the saw and gently swing the blade down into the material but maintain a
pivoting force on the front edge of the base. The moving lower guard can now be released
for normal action of the guard.
Maintenance
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
