Circular saw

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
We recommend that this tool always be supplied
via a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
1. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. A)
Lift the depth of cut lock lever and raise the saw body
away from the base plate. Set the depth of cut with the
scale and tighten the screw to lock. Always add 3 mm
to your depth of cut so that the blade can cut through
the material.
2. BASE PLATE ANGLE AJUSTMENT
(See Fig.B,C,D)
Loosen the base plate bevel lock knob and rotate the
base plate to set the bevel angle with the angle scale
provided. Then clamp the base plate position with the
bevel lock. Finally, check the angle and ensure that the
base plate is firmly clamped. The angle markings on the
base plate are accurate for most general purposes but it
is recommended to set the angle with a protractor and
make a test cut on other material for accurate work. Do
not use the depth of cut scale when making bevel cuts
due to possible inaccuracy.
3. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig. E)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
Depress lock off button then on/off switch and release
lock off button. Your switch is now on. To switch off, just
release the on/off switch.
4. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT (See Fig.F)
It is used for making cuts parallel to a workpiece edge
at a chosen distance. Slide the parallel guide arm
through both fixtures to achieve the required cutting
distance and tighten the screw to lock into position. The
cutting distance is shown on the scale by the 90° or 45°
notch edge. Always make a trial cut to check the setting.
