185MM CIRCULAR SAW ENG
The parallel guide allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet of wood, all at the same width.
1) Loosen the parallel guide locking knob. Slide the parallel guide through the parallel guide slots in the
base plate (See Fig 4).
2) Adjust the parallel guide to the required width and secure it in position with the parallel guide locking
knob.
3) Ensure that the parallel guide rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent
parallel cut.
7. Mounting or replacing the saw blade
Warning:
Always wear sturdy gloves when handling or changing blades as they can be very
sharp. Only use sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked or distorted saw blades must be replaced
immediately.
1) Place the saw on its side on a flat surface. Rotate the saw blade by hand whilst depressing the
spindle lock button until the blade locks. The spindle lock button may be actuated only when the saw
spindle is at a standstill. Otherwise, the power tool can be damaged.
2) Whilst depressing the spindle lock button, unscrew the blade bolt anticlockwise with the hex key
provided (See Fig 5).
3) Remove the outer blade flange and the blade bolt.
4) Raise the lower blade guard using the blade guard lever. Remove the saw blade from the inner
flange and pull it out.
5) Clean the saw blade flanges thoroughly before mounting the new saw blade.
6) Mount the new saw blade onto the spindle and against the inner flange. If bore diameter of saw
blade is
Ф
16mm, before mount the saw blade, take out the bushing on the spindle (See Fig 6).
7) Replace the outer flange and tighten the blade bolt.
Note:
•
The direction in which the blade rotates has to be the same as the direction of the arrow marked on
the upper blade guard. Ensure that the spindle lock button is released. Before using the saw again,
check that the safety devices are in good working order.
•
After replacing the saw blade, make sure that the saw blade runs freely by turning the blade by hand.
Plug the machine into a power socket and run the saw under no load to check that it runs smoothly
before using it to cut any material.
•
Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as the cutting tool.
8. Operation
1) Making a cut
a) Mark the line of cut on the workpiece. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.
b) When making 90° cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the base
of the saw.
c) When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on the base of the
saw.
d) Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Make sure the power cord is out of the way of saw
the blade and not in the line of cut.
e) Start the machine by push the lock-off button and press the on/off switch.
Note:
Always let the blade reach full speed before you begin to cut into the workpiece.
