Mini CiRCulaR Saw with laSeR
interior) of the work piece, through the narrow slot,
you can easily see the cutting mark you draw and the
location where the blade will plunge into the work piece,
based on the blade depth that was selected.
always practice in a scrap work piece to become familiar
with this cutting operation. The selected depth of cut is
now set. When the saw's blade is manually lowered, the
blade will be below the base at the selected depth.
4. uSinG the laSeR
Press down the laser on/off switch (5) to turn on the
laser.
Press down the laser on/off switch again to turn off the
laser. (see fig. i)
note: Clean the laser generator periodically.
waRninG: Never stare directly into the laser
beam and never point the beam at anybody. The
laser beam energy is extremely harmful to human eyes.
waRninG: When not in use, always turn the laser
off to save the battery capacity.
to replace laser batteries (See FiG. J1-J6)
The saw comes with laser batteries well assembled.
When battery capacity runs out, replace batteries as
follows:
Use 1.5V batteries model LR44, typical to calculators,
camera and similar small electronics.
Move the battery storage cover (16) in the direction the
arrow (on the cover) points. Then lift the battery storage
cover (see fig. j1, j2).
you can see one end of a cord. To remove the batteries,
just slowly pull the end of the cord. The two batteries will
be taken out along with the cord (see fig. j3).
To fit new batteries, adjust the position of the cord and
insert two batteries in place. Make sure two batteries are
pressed on the cord (see fig. j4, j5).
Restore the cover (see fig. j6).
note: Pay attention that "+/-" of the batteries are the
same as the illustration on the machine.
5. CuttinG GuiDe (See FiG. K)
The blade alignment indicator (12) in front of the base
plate is used as cutting guide. always guide it along the
cutting mark made on the workpiece for accurate cutting.
note: it is best to carry out a trial cut.
FunCtion
1. MaKinG CRoSS CutS anD RiP CutS (See FiG.
l, M)
waRninG: To avoid sudden kick-back, never start
with the stationary blade in contact with the work.
12
always start the saw before commencing to plunge.
a) aLWays use your saw with your hands positioned
correctly.
waRninG:always maintain proper control of the
saw to make sawing safer and easier. Loss of
control of the saw could cause an accident resulting in
possible serious injury.
b) When making cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut
with the center of the "V" notch located on the front
of the saw's base (see fig. L).
c) since the thickness of blades varies, make a trial cut
in scrap material along the guideline to determine
how much, if any, you should offset the blade from
the guideline to allow for the blade thickness to get
an accurate cut.
MaKinG RiP CutS (See FiG. M)
always use a guide when making long rip cuts with your
saw. you can use any suitable straight edge clamped to
the work or the parallel guide that is included with your
saw.
2. PoCKet CuttinG (SoFt MateRialS onlY) (See
FiG. n)
This operation requires much skill with a saw and must
only be carried out by a qualified person.
waRninG: The blade teeth are exposed during
this operation so proceed 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. hold the saw firmly without any pressure on
base plate. To avoid kickback, you should hold the tool
firmly before switching on the saw. Then switch the saw
on and gently guide the blade down into the material but
maintain a pivoting force on the front edge of the base.
Do not bind the blade in the cut; push the saw blade
forward at a rate where the blade is not laboring.
When the cut is complete, release the trigger safety
release and switch and let the blade come to a complete
stop. Do not ReMove the saw and blade from the
workpiece while the blade is moving. This could damage
your cut (kerf), cause kickback and loss of control,
resulting in injury.
