5. HAND GRIP POSITION (SEE FIG. E)
Always hold your saw firmly with both hands when
operating.
6. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. F)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
Depress the lock off button (17) then the on/off switch and
release the lock off button. Your switch is now on. To switch
off, just release the on/off switch.
The blade may continue to rotate after switching off. Wait
until the machine comes to a complete stop before setting
down.
7. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. I)
It is used for making cuts parallel to a workpiece edge at a
chosen distance. Slide the parallel guide arm through the
fixture to achieve the required cutting distance then tighten
the lock knob to clamp. It can be used from both sides of
the base plate. For straight cuts, use the 0° guide mark to
align with your parallel guide scale. For a 45° bevel cut, use
the 45° guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale.
Securely clamp the parallel guide.
Note:
It is best to carry out a trial cut.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
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.
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.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Support large panels close to the cut
line. Any movement of the material may affect the quality
of the cut. 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.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
