CIRCULAR SAW
Gradually lower the blade on to the material to be cut using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point.
When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being
cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut.
Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it from the cut.
Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur.
Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to
finish the cut in the corners, if required.
Cutting Large Sheets
Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without leveling and
properly supporting the work piece,the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut
through the material without cutting into the table or workbench.
Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is too large for the
workbench, use the floor with the two-by fours supporting the wood.
Care & Maintenance
To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from the power source before cleaning or performing any
maintenance the saw may be cleaned most effectively using compressed air. Always wear safety goggles
when using compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and chips from
the saw.
Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt
to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts. Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household cleaners containing ammonia. Do not use any of these to clean
the saw.
Have an authorized service center examine and/or replace the worn carbon brushes in the event of
excessive parking.
Blades become dull even when cutting regular lumber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to force the
saw forward instead of guiding it while making a cut. Take the blade to a service center for sharpening.
Keep the machine clean all the time.
Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards .In order to
maintain battery capacity ,we recommend the battery to be completely discharged every one month and
fully recharged again .Only store with a fully charged battery and top-up the charge from time to time if
stored for a long time. Store in a dry and frost-free place, the ambient temperature should not exceed
400C.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a similar cord available through
the service organization or a qualified authoritative technician.
For safety reasons, the machine automatically switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out that they
no longer have contact with the motor. In that case, the carbon brushes must be replaced by a pair similar
carbon brush available through the after-sales service organization or qualified professional person.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before removing any electrical covers.
