TROUBLESHOOTING
• Keep ventilation slots of the circular saw clean at all times to ensure efficient
operation.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust,
dirt, etc. Build up of dust, dirt particles may cause the tool to overheat and shorten
the life of the tool.
• If the housing of the circular saw requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth or soft brush only.
• Never let any liquid get inside the tool, never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
• No lubrication is necessary as the tool has sealed bearings.
• When not in use, the circular saw should be stored in a dry, frost free location not
within the reach of children.
WARNING!
ALWAYS ENSURE THE TOOL HAS
COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE BATTERY IS
REMOVED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to ensure a long service
life.
The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool and/or battery are
placed under the following situations:
• When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of overload, then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low:
Recharge the battery pack.
Note:
The battery protection system does not in any way damage the tool.
Note:
The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during use or immediately
after using the tool.
LED lights do not illuminate on charger
Check the charging adaptor is securely plugged into the wall out let.
Check the battery is firmly connected to the charging cradle.
Check that the charging jack is securely connected to the charging cradle.
The battery has a short run time
Ensure the battery is properly charged. It will take 4-5 charging cycles before the battery
reaches optimum charge and run time. On the initial charge, the battery requires 5 hours
of charging. Subsequent charging only requires 3-5 hours.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight is not turning on
The worklight only turns on once the lock-off lever is pressed towards either side of the
handle.
Ensure the light source is not covered in dust. Use a dry cloth to wipe away dust.
Circular Saw Tips
Always hold the soft grip handle with one hand and the front handle with the other.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the on/off switch with a positive action.
Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress the lock-off button and squeeze
the on/off switch and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibres of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
mitre blade is recommended.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the circular saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling
of the circular saw.
