each use. Do not use the saw when the lower guard does not
move freely and does not close immediately.
Do not fix and
do not leave the lower guard open. When the saw is accidentally
dropped the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the lower guard
with pull-handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch
the blade nor any other part of the tool for any setting of cutting
depth and angle.
q. Check functioning of the lower guard spring. Repair the
guard and its spring before use when they do not work
properly.
Lower guard functioning may be slowed down due to
damaged parts, sticky sediments or building up of layers of wastes.
r. Manual pulling off the lower guard is allowed only when
special cutting is performed, such as “in-depth cutting”
and “compound cutting”. Lift the lower guard with its pull
handle. As soon as the cutting blade sinks in the material
the guard must be released.
For all other cuts it is recommended
that the guard works automatically.
s. Always ensure the lower guard covers cutting blade
before putting the circular saw on the work bench or floor.
Uncovered, rotating blade will move the circular saw back and will
cut everything in its way. Consider time required for stopping the
blade after the saw is switched off.
CAUSES OF KICK BACK AND WAYS TO REDUCE IT
• Kick back is sudden lift and backing of the saw in the line cutting
line towards operator. This is caused by cutting blade being
pinched or incorrectly guided.
• When cutting blade is caught or pinched in material, the blade
stops and motor reaction produces sudden movement of the saw
to the back, towards operator.
• If the cutting blade is warped or positioned incorrectly in the
object being cut, blade teeth may hit the upper surface of the
material when leaving the material. It will cause sudden raise of
the blade and the saw, and kick back towards operator.
Kick back is effect of improper use of circular saw, or wrong
operating procedures or conditions, and can be avoided by
observing applicable, below mentioned precautions:
Precautions
• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.
• Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with the standard EN 847-1.
• Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.
• Use personal protection measures, such as:
– earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,
– eye shield,
– respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts
inhalation,
– gloves for maintenance of cutting blades and other rough and
sharp materials (hold cutting blades by mount hole whenever
possible).
• Connect dust extraction system when cutting wood.
Safe operation
• Match cutting blade with material that you plan to cut.
• Never use the saw for cutting materials other than wood and
wood-like.
• Do not use the saw without guard or when the guard is blocked.
• Floor close to the machine work place must be kept tidy and
without loose materials and protrusions.
• Provide appropriate work place illumination.
• Machine operator must be properly trained for use, operation and
working with the machine.
• Use only sharp cutting blades.
• Observe maximum speed marked on the cutting blade.
• Ensure that parts are used in accordance with the manufacturer
instructions.
• If the saw is equipped with laser, replacement with laser of another
type is forbidden and all repairs must be carried out by the service.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always
a small risk of operational injuries.
CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Circular saw is a hand-held power tool with insulation class II. It is
driven by a single-phase commutator motor. This type of power
tools is widely used for cutting wood and objects made of wood-
like materials that match with the tool size. Do not use the saw for
cutting firewood. Attempts to use the circular saw for purposes
other than specified will be considered an improper use. Use the
circular saw only with appropriate cutting blades with teeth with
sintered carbide tips. Circular saw is designed for light duty works in
service workshops and any individual, amateur activities (tinkering).
Use the power tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions
only.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Cutting depth can be set from the range of 0 to 55 mm.
• Loosen the cutting depth locking lever ( 12 ).
• Set desired cutting depth (use the scale).
• Lock the cutting depth locking lever ( 12 ) ( fig. A ).
INSTALLATION OF GUIDE FOR PARALLEL CUTTING
Use parallel guide when cutting material to narrow pieces. Guide
can be installed on left and right side of the power tool.
• Loosen the parallel guide locking knob ( 4 ).
• Insert parallel guide bar into two holes in the saw base ( 5 ).
• Set desired distance (use the scale).
• use the parallel guide locking knob to fix the parallel guide ( 4 ).
The parallel guide can also be used for cutting at angles ranging
from 0
0 to 45 0 .
Never put hand or fingers behind the working saw. When kick
back happens the saw can fall on the hand, it may be the cause
of heavy body injury.
MOVING THE LOWER GUARD
Lower guard ( 9 ) of cutting blade ( 6 ) is pushed away automatically as
the blade deepens into the material.
To remove it manually push the lower guard lever (
3 ).
DUST EXTRACTION
Circular saw is equipped with dust outlet ( 1 ) that allows for
extraction of sawdust produced when cutting.
