� Adjust the cutting depth to the
thickness of the work piece. At least
one full tooth of the disc must be visible
underneath the work piece;
� Before each use, the user must verify
the bottom protection;
The bottom protection is a safety
device that reduces the risk of serious
injuries. Never use the saw if the bottom
protection is missing, is damaged or
wrongly assembled.
- The protection must be totally closed
before start cutting;
- The protection must move freely over
both directions and shall not touch the
blade or any other pieces, in every
angle and cutting depth;
- Check the spring protection. If
the spring and the protection aren't
operating like expected, these must
be repaired before using the saw. The
bottom protection may operate slowly
due to damaged parts, sticky remains
or accumulation of leftovers;
- Never fix or tighten the bottom
protection on open position;
- The bottom protection must only be
manually indented to particular cuts,
such as "deep cuts" and "combined
cuts". Lift the bottom protection
through the retracting lever and, as
the blade cuts the material, the bottom
protection can be released. The bottom
protection shall operate freely on every
other cut;
- Make sure the bottom protection is
covering the disc before placing the
machine over the workbench or on the
floor;
� Do not apply too much pressure on the
work piece with the circular saw. If the
speed decreases abruptly, the pressure
applied must be reduced immediately;
� Do not turn the machine on if the disc
is touching the work piece. Only lean
the disc against the work piece after the
26
maximum rotation speed is reached;
� When resuming the cutting operation,
center the disc over the existing cut
and make sure the disc's teeth aren't
touching the work piece and the disc
reaches the maximum speed. If the
disc is stuck, the work piece can move
forward or backward when the disc
starts rotating;
� Do not use abrasive cutting discs;
� Do not use water or grease during the
sharpening process;
4.1 - CHECKING THE STATUS
OF THE BOTTOM PROTECTION
(FIG. G)
1. Remove the battery (21);
2. Pull the bottom protection retracting
lever (5) until is totally open;
3. Release the lever and it must return
to the closed position;
4.2 - PARALLEL GUIDE
REGULATION (FIG. H)
The parallel guide (17) is used to
ensure the execution of a cut parallel to
the end of the work piece.
1. Untighten the fixing screw of the
parallel guide (14);
2. Adjust the guide according to
desired cutting width. Press the
locking/unlocking button of the "ON/
OFF" switch (9) and verify if the value
on the guide scale (15) is the desired
value;
3. Tighten the fixing screw;
4.3 - CUTTING DEPTH
REGULATION (FIG. I)
The cutting depth can be adjusted
in the depth regulation guide scale
between 0 and 48mm;
1. Untighten the fixing screw (20) of the
cutting depth regulation guide (19);
2. Slide the supporting base (2)
upwards or downwards to select the
desired depth;
3. Tighten the fixing screw. The fixing
screw mark indicates the selected
depth;
4.4 - CUTTING INCLINATION
REGULATION (FIG. J)
The cutting angle can be adjusted
using the regulation guide between 0°
and 45°.
1. Untighten the fixing screw (13)of the
cutting angle regulation guide (12);
2. Adjust the angle (0° - 45°) according
to the desired cutting inclination:
0°- Vertical cut;
45° - Cut at half miter;
1. Tighten the fixing screw;
4.5 - CIRCULAR SAW'S START
AND STOP (FIG. K)
1. Hold the machine with both hands,
one over the main handle (8) and the
other over the auxiliary handle (10);
2. Press the locking/unlocking button
(9) and the "ON/OFF" switch (7)
simultaneously. If the locking/unlocking
button isn't pressed, the "ON/OFF"
switch remains locked;
3. Push the saw towards the cut to be
performed;
4. To turn the machine off, release the
"ON/OFF" switch;
4.6 - CUTTING POSITION
INDICATION (FIG. L)
There are two ways to verify the cutting
position: through the indicator on
the supporting base and through the
cutting position indicator light.
1. The supporting base (2) has a
cutting position indicator (16) for bevel
