Power Craft 88601 Manual De Uso página 28

Never use buckled blades or blades with
missing teeth.
Never use blades that are too big or too
small.
Never use blades with a maximum speed
that is less than the tool's maximum speed.
Check that the blade's direction of rotation
is the same as the motor's.
Never use the saw on stone, metal,
fi breglass or materials that are hazardous to
health.
Always use protective gloves when
GB
handling the blade. Never put your hand
under the saw, or try to remove material
from the working area while the blade is
rotating. Never place your hand or fi ngers
on the workpiece in front of, behind or
underneath the saw while it is running.
Always keep the spindle and blade-
mounting collars properly cleaned.
Never use the saw if the blade guard is not
working correctly. The blade guard must
close automatically when the saw is not in
use, and it must NOT be locked in an open
position.
Never allow the blade to be in contact with
the workpiece (or any other objects) when
starting the saw.
Check that the workpiece does not contain
any nails, screws or any other objects that
could damage the blade, and that the
material on which the workpiece is resting
does not contain any such obstacles.
Never fasten the circular saw in a vice or
such like with the blade pointing upwards
in order to saw objects in this way. This
could result in very serious accidents.
Never remove the saw from the workpiece
unless the blade is still rotating, and do not
put the saw down until the blade has fully
28
stopped and the blade guard is fully closed.
Laser beams can cause permanent eye
damage and must therefore be used with
care.
Do not direct the laser beam at refl ective
objects, e.g. mirrors or shiny surfaces.
Never look directly into the laser beam.
Never direct the laser beam at other people
or animals.
Preparation and adjustment
Adjusting the parallel guide
Adjust the parallel guide (19) to the desired
distance from the blade (10) and tighten the
wing screw (8).
Adjusting the mitre angle
Release the baseplate angle adjustment
knobs (6 and 7), and rotate the upper part
of the saw to the desired angle (0-45° from
vertical). The angle can be read off the
angle gauge (5). Re-tighten the baseplate
adjustment knob.
Adjusting cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted by
loosening the depth adjustment screw (14)
and angling the upper part of the circular
saw until the blade (10) is at the desired
cutting depth relative to the baseplate.
Re-tighten the depth adjustment screw.
The cutting depth can be read off from
the depth gauge (15) and this must be at
least 3 mm more than the thickness of the
workpiece.
NB: The cutting depth cannot be reduced if
the saw is set up for beveling!
