WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury Never hold
the piece being cut with your hands or lay it across
your leg (Figure F).
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as shown in
Figure G. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig. G-I)
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness of
the workpiece.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment lever (13) to unlock the saw
shoe (5).
2. Align the saw shoe with the desired depth of cut indicated
on the scale markings on the depth strap.
3. Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth (19) of
the blade projects below the workpiece (20) as shown in
Figure I.
4. Tighten the depth adjustment lever to lock the saw shoe
in place.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. J)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0° and 56°.
1. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (9) to unlock the saw
shoe (5).
2. Move the saw shoe into the desired position
corresponding with the bevel angle markings on the bevel
angle scale (10).
3. Tighten the bevel adjustment lever to lock the saw shoe
in place.
4. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the bevel
angle of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
Shoe Adjustment for 90° Cuts (Fig. K)
The shoe (5) has been set by the factory to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the shoe at 0° bevel setting.
If realignment is needed:
1. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
2. Retract lower blade guard (7).
3. Loosen bevel adjustment lever (9). Place a square against
the blade (6) and shoe (5) to adjust the 90° setting.
4. Turn the calibration screw (22) so that the shoe will stop at
the proper angle.
5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the
squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece of material.
On/Off Switch (Fig. A)
Saw is equipped with a switch lock-off feature to prevent
unintentional operation.
1. To operate the tool, press in on the lock-off button (2) from
either side of the saw and hold it in as you depress the
trigger switch (1).
2. After you have depressed the trigger and the tool is
running, release the lock-off button. The tool will continue
to run as long as the trigger is depressed.
3. To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
NOTE:
This tool has no provision for locking the tool on, and
the switch should never be locked on by any other means.
Automatic Electric Brake
Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which stops
the saw blade within 1–2 seconds of trigger release. This is
automatic and requires no adjustment.
Lower Blade Guard
@
WARNING: Laceration Hazard. The lower blade
guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of
serious personal injury. Never use the saw if the
lower guard is missing, damaged, mis-assembled
or not working properly. Do not rely on the lower
blade guard to protect you under all circumstances.
Your safety depends on following all warnings and
precautions as well as proper operation of the saw.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use as outlined in
Further Safety Instructions
for all Saws
. If the lower blade guard is missing or
not working properly, have the saw serviced before
using. To assure product safety and reliability,
repair, maintenance and adjustment should be
performed by an authorized service center or other
qualified service organization, always using identical
replacement parts.
@
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as
wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only
operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in
place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before
using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
@
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, It is
important to support the work properly and to hold
the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could
cause personal injury. Figure L illustrates typical
hand support.
@
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.
