front or back of the motor housing.
WARNING: Disconnect the plug
from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
ATTENTION: When servicing a
tool, ALWAYS use only genuine
replacement parts
1. Locate the plastic motor brush access caps
on either the front or back of the motor
housing.
2. Remove the threaded access cap using a
flat head screwdriver and turn in a counter-
clockwise rotation to loosen. Do not apply
excessive force as this may damage the
access plug.
3. Remove the old motor brush.
4. Insert the new motor brush making sure
that it is completing inserted into the brush
holder.
5. Replace the access cap with the flat-head
screwdriver turning clockwise to tighten.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, run it no
load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. The quality of cut
will improve as the number of blade teeth
increase. Always ensure the work-piece is
firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Support large panels close to the cut line.
Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost
surface or edges of your work piece. When
cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is
a non-visible surface when your work is
finished. Feeding too fast significantly reduces
the performance of the machine and shortens
the life of the saw blade. Always face the
good side of the work piece down to ensure
minimum splintering. Only use sharp saw
blades of the correct type.
Circular saw
For pocket cutting (soft materials only) this
operation requires much skill with a saw and
must only be carried out by a competent
person.
WARNING: The blade teeth are
exposed during this operation, so
operate with extreme caution.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth
of cut on the saw. Position the saw over the
marked area with the front edge of the base
plate resting on the work surface and cutting
guide aligned with marked line on workpiece.
Ensure the blade is not touching but is close
to the work surface. The moving lower guard
must be rotated open by using the lever.
Switch on the saw and gently swing the blade
down into the material but maintain a pivoting
force on the front edge of the base. The
moving lower guard can now be released for
normal action of the guard.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never
use water or chemical cleaners to clean your
power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your power tool in a dry place.
Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Waste electrical products must not be
disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authorities or retailer for
recycling advice.
