140mm Circular Saw
• When starting a cut, sight the cutting line
with the line of cut guide, taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly,
so as not to damage its teeth. Gently move
the saw forward through the work piece.
• When a cut has been completed release
the ON/OFF Trigger Switch and allow the
blade to come to a complete halt. Do not
stop the blade by applying lateral pressure
on the disc.
MAKING A CUT
1. With the machine switched OFF, offer
the saw up to the workpiece, using the line
of sight guides to position the saw blade
accurately. The Laser Guide can also be
switched if the material to be cut is non-
reflective. The lower blade guard should not
be touching the workpiece.
2. When satisfied that the saw is correctly
positioned, switch the saw ON and allow the
blade to reach its full operational speed.
3. Gently feed the saw into the workpiece,
allowing the lower blade guard to retract
automatically.
4. Push the saw gently through the workpiece
using the machines two (2) handles.
5. When the cut is completed, release the
Trigger Switch.
6. Allow the blade to come to a complete
halt, before removing the machine from the
workpiece or taking ones hand from the
machine. The lower blade guard will deploy
automatically to the covered position as the
machine is removed from the workpiece.
7. Store the machine safely for future use in
a locked, dry childproof cabinet. If storing
for any length of time remove the battery and
store the battery as recommended in the
Battery Instruction Manual.
MAINTENANCE
Installing / Removing TCT Saw Blades
WARNING:
The battery must be removed
from this machine before commencing this
procedure. Use only saw blades that are
specifically designed for use in this machine.

The machines safety guard may have to be
retracted manually using its integral handle
to provide clearance to manoeuvre the blade
from the machine.
3. Place the replacement blade onto the inner
drive flange making sure that the arrow for
the direction of rotation of the blade matches
that found on the
machine guard.
4. Replace the outer blade flange and then
insert the socket headed screw into the arbor
and tighten securely.
5. Check that the arbor lock is fully released
by manually rotating the blade.
6. Check the operation of the safety guard.
Note:
It is recommended that the operator
considers wearing protective gloves when
handling the blade during installation or when
changing the machines blade.
