Clamps
38
are available to secure the guide rail
36
to the
workpiece
37
(Fig. Q). Use of these clamps
38
ensure that the
guide rail
36
is securely attached to the workpiece
37
for safe
working. Once the guide rail is set to the cut line and securely
fixed to the workpiece, there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTanT:
The height scale on the unit is set for using the
saw without a guide rail. When using the saw on the guide rail
the difference in height will be approximately 5.0 mm.
Setting the Circular Saw To the Guide
Rail (Fig. A, R)
The clearance between the circular saw and the guide rail
(Fig. R,
36
) must be very small to achieve best cutting results.
The smaller this clearance the better the straight line finish will
be on the workpiece.
The clearance can be set with the two rail adjusters
11
,
12
(Fig. A) for each channel in the base for 0° cutting
11
and for
1–45° bevel cutting
12
. The rail adjusters are precision cams
that allow for the reduction of clearance between the unit
and guide rail. Once these adjusters have been set, sideways
movement of the saw during cutting is kept to a minimum
while allowing a smooth cutting action.
nOTE:
The adjusters are set to minimum clearance in the
factory and may need adjusting and setting before the unit is
used. Use the following instructions for setting the circular saw
to the guide rail.
REMEMBER:
Set the rail adjusters on the saw to the guide rail.
1. Undo the screw inside the rail adjuster to allow for
adjustment between the saw and the guide rail.
2. Retract the lower guard and place the unit on the guide rail,
ensuring the blade is in the highest position.
3. Rotate the adjuster until saw locks on guide rail.
IMPORTanT:
Make sure the saw is securely attached to the
rail by trying to push the saw forward. Ensure there is no
movement of the saw.
4. Rotate the adjuster back slightly until saw slides easily along
the rail.
5. Hold the rail adjuster in position and tighten the
screw again.
nOTE:
aLWaYs
adjust the system for use with other rails.
The rail adjusters are now set up to minimise sideways deviation
when cutting with the saw on the guide rail.
Before using the saw, the anti-splinter guard
39
on the guide
rail will need tuning in. Refer to
Tuning the Anti-Splinter Guard
.
Tuning the Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. R)
The guide rail
36
is equipped with an anti-splinter guard
39
that has to be tuned to the saw before the first use.
The anti-splinter guard
39
is situated on each edge of the guide
rail. The purpose of this anti-splinter guard is to provide the user
with a visible blade cut line while reducing the chipping that
occurs along the workpiece cut edge during cutting.
IMPORTanT: aLWaYs
read and follow the
Setting the
Circular Saw to the Guide Rail
before cutting the splinter
guard!
Steps to Tune the Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. S–V)
1. Place the guide rail
36
on a scrap piece of wood
40
with
a minimum length of 100 mm overhanging the workpiece
(Fig. S). Use a clamp to ensure that the guide rail is securely
attached to the workpiece. This will ensure accuracy.
2. Set the unit to a 20 mm depth of cut.
3. Place the front of the saw on the overhang end of the guide
rail, making sure that the blade is positioned in front of the
rail edge (Fig. T).
4. Turn the saw on and slowly cut the splinter guard along the
full length of the rail in one continuous operation. The edge
of the splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting
edge of the blade (Fig. U).
To tune in the anti-splinter guard on the other side of the guide
rail, remove the saw from the rail and rotate the rail 180°. Repeat
steps 1 through 4.
nOTE:
If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled to 45°,
then repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows one side of the rail for
cutting parallel cuts and the other side of the rail is tuned in for
45° bevel cuts (Fig. V).
nOTE:
If the anti-splinter guard is tuned in for parallel cutting
on both sides, then when the unit is bevelled, the blade will not
run true to the edge of the anti-splinter guard. This is because
the pivot point of the unit bevel is not stationary and the blade
moves out over when the unit is bevelled.
Prior to Operation
• Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The saw
blade guard must be in closed position.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the arrow
on the blade.
• Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. J)
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS
use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury,
ALWAYS
hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
30
,
with the other hand on the auxiliary handle
14
.
LED Worklight (Fig. A)
The LED worklight
10
is activated when the trigger switch is
depressed. When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay
illuminated for up to 20 seconds.
nOTE:
The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
