WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
a) If your power tool becomes too hot, run your
circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes to cool
the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds.
b) 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.
c) Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
d) Support large panels close to the cut line. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality
of the cut.
e) 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 machine 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.
