3. ADJUSTMENT OF THE CUTTING ANGLE
The Sole Plate is adjustable for a cutting
angle from 0
0
to 50
0
to the LH side only.
WARNING: Only adjust the cutting angle with
the battery removed from the machine.
• Loosen the Mitre Adjustment Screw..
• Tilt the saw blade to the required angle (a
protractor scale will be found on the front
of the adjustment quadrant to aid setting).
• Tighten the Mitre Adjustment Screw when
the desired angle has been achieved.
• Check the operation of the blade guard.
• Re-install the battery.
4. LINE OF CUT GUIDE SLOTS
Note: Guide slots are provided
at the front of the saw sole plate.
• The left slot is used to follow a line
when making a 0-degree cut (blade
perpendicular).
• The right slot is used to follow a line when
making a 45-degree cut.
5. LASER CUTTING GUIDE
This Circular Saw is fitted with a Laser
Guide which can be useful when aligning
the machine prior to beginning a cut. Only
switch the Laser Guide on when you are
about to make a straight cut, and switch it
off when the cut has been completed. The
switch is located on the front of the machine
just above the Front Handle. Press the button
once to switch the Laser Guide ‘On’. Press
once more to switch the Laser Guide ‘Off’
WARNING:
Do not look directly into the
Laser beam, or point it at anyone. Do not use
the Laser Guide if the material to be cut is
reflective.
6. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE
A Parallel Edge Guide is supplied. This can
be very useful when Rip cutting. The Guide
slides through the two brackets at the front
of the Sole Plate, and can be locked in the
required position with the locking screw
located in the RH bracket.
Note: We recommend that when not in use
the Parallel Edge Guide and its locking screw
are stored safely ‘off’ the machine.
7. ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH AND
SAFETY LOCK
The Trigger Switch can only be operated
once the Safety Lock has been disengaged.
1. To disengage the Safety Lock press the
Safety Lock slide button on either the RH or
LH side of the handle.
2. Press the Trigger Switch to start the
machine.
Note:
The Safety Lock will automatically reset
to the ‘safe’ position when the Trigger Switch is
released and the machine has stopped.
CUTTING ADVICE
• Carry out routine safety checks each time
you use the machine.
• Check that the safety guard is operating
correctly, and that all adjustment levers/
knobs are tightened securely.
• Check that the blade is secure and installed
correctly. Also check that it is the correct
blade for the material being cut.
• Always clamp the work piece on a rigid
support such as a bench or saw horses
where possible.
• Do not force the tool – let the speed
of the saw blade do the work. Cutting
performance will not improve by applying
more pressure on the tool, and blade life
will be reduced.
