WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, read, understand and follow all
important safety warnings and instructions prior
to using tool.
Blade Selection
Your circular saw is designed for use with 185mm diameter
blades .Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or
higher). DO NOT use any abrasive wheels.
General Cuts
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, remove
the battery, and follow all assembly, adjustment
and set up instructions.
Make sure lower guard operates. Select the proper blade for
the material to be cut.
● Measure and mark work for cutting.
● Support and secure work properly (refer to
Supporting
Large Panels/Securing Workpiece
).
● Use appropriate and required safety equipment (refer to
Additional Safety Information
).
● Secure and maintain work area (refer to
Safety
Instructions for All Saws
).
● With battery inserted, make sure switch turns saw on
and off.
Sawing
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, always hold the tool with both hands.
● Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards. Refer to
Further Safety
Instructions for all Saws
and
Kickback Causes and
Related Warnings
.
● Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
● Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
● Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Hints for Optimum Use
● As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
● Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of
the workpiece.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. M)
WARNING: Never tie the blade guard in a raised
position. Never move the saw backwards when
pocket cutting. This may cause the unit to raise
up off the work surface which could cause injury.
A pocket cut is one that is made when the edge of the material
does not push the lower guard open, but the bottom edge of
the rotating blade cuts into the middle of the material.
1. Adjust the shoe (5) so the blade cuts at desired depth.
2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on material
to be cut.
3. Using the retracting lever, retract lower blade guard to
an upward position. Lower rear of shoe until blade teeth
almost touch cutting line.
4. Release the blade guard (its contact with the work will
keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut).
Remove hand from guard lever and firmly grip secondary
handle (4), as shown in Figure M. Position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback if it occurs.
5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface
before starting saw.
6. Start the motor, allow saw to come to full speed, and then
gradually lower the saw until its shoe rests flat on the
material to be cut. Advance saw along the cutting line until
cut is completed.
7. Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade from the material.
8. When starting each new cut, repeat as above.
Ripping
A rip fence is supplied with your tool.
Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower
strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more
difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a rip fence
is recommended.
Dust Extraction
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce
the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS wear an
approved dust mask.
Warning: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor
designed in compliance with the applicable
directives regarding dust emission when
sawing wood. Vacuum hoses of most common
vacuum cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extraction outlet.
A dust extraction port (18) is supplied with your tool. The dust
extraction port allows you to connect the tool to an external
dust extractor.
