OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
Before cutting any material, always
ensure that it is firmly clamped into place and
that you will not be cutting through the table or
workbench when adjusting the depth.
NOTE:
You can connect a compatible vacuum to the
Dust Extraction Outlet to decrease the amount of
dust that is being exhausted from the Saw and work
area.
GENERAL CUTTING
Always operate the Circular Saw with one hand on the
Main Handle and the other on the Auxiliary Handle
.
CAUTION:
Never force the Saw; always maintain a
continuous and light pressure. After completing the
cut, always ensure the Saw Blade has come to a stop.
When resuming cutting, always allow the Saw Blade
to reach full speed, then proceed with the cut using
firm pressure.
When cutting across grain, the fibres of the wood
will have a tendency to lift and tear; moving the Saw
slowly can minimise this effect.
POCKET CUTTING
Set the Depth Adjustment to the desired cutting
depth, re-tighten and plug the tool back in.
With the Saw Blade barely above the material to be
cut, power up the tool and allow the Blade to reach
full speed.
Gradually lower the Blade onto the material to be
cut using the front end as a pivot point. Once the
Blade starts to cut, release the Lower Guard
using the
Lower Guard Lever
.
When the Base Plate is resting
flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a
forwards direction for the length of the cut.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the Saw backwards whilst in
use as this will cause the Saw Blade to climb out of
the cut and cause kickback.
WARNING!
Always make sure that the Battery is removed from the Circular Saw before making adjustments or
performing maintenance to the tool.
USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE
The Parallel Guide
(15)
is used when carrying out a
straight cut is required.
Loosen the Parallel Guide Locking Screw
(1) ,
then
slide the Parallel Guide through the two slots located
on the Base Plate and re-tighten the Parallel Guide
Lock to secure into place.
IMPORTANT:
In order to achieve a straight cut,
ensure the Parallel Guide rests against the material
you are cutting for the entire length to be cut.
WARNING!
Always make sure that the Battery is removed from the Circular Saw before making adjustments or
performing maintenance to the tool.
