cutting distance then tighten the lock knob (18) to
clamp.
CUTTING GUIDE
For WX425 (See Fig. D2)
The Beveltrac
(3) fixed in front of the base plate is
TM
used as cutting guide.
3. HAND GRIP POSITION (See Fig. E)
Always hold your saw firmly with both hands when
operating.
4. FITTING / REPLACING A SAW BLADE (See Fig.
F, G, H)
Press the spindle lock button and use the hex key
to loosen and remove the blade bolt (13). Remove
the washer (B) and the outer flange (C). Rotate the
lower blade guard clockwise by pushing the guard
lever to take out the old blade (12). Fit a replaced
blade. Ensure that the blade bore is located on
the inner flange (D) and the blade direction arrow
points in the same direction as the lower blade
guard arrow. Place the outer flange, the washer
and the blade bolt onto the blade bore. Press the
spindle lock again and use the hex key to tighten
the bolt with 1/4 turn more than finger tight. Check
if the blade is securely clamped.
WARNING: Blade teeth are very sharp.
For best cutting results ensure you use a
saw blade suited to the material and cut quality you
need.
5. DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET (See Fig. I)
To remove sawdust, connect a suitable external
dust extraction machine (e.g. vacuum cleaner) to
the dust extraction outlet with the vacuum adaptor
and a flexible hose connection. Ensure the hose
connection is secure.
6. HEX KEY STORAGE (See Fig. J)
The hex key provided with the saw can be placed in
the storage area located at back of the base plate.
7. ACCESSIBLE MOTOR BRUSH REPLACEMENT
(SEE K)
There are two replaceable motor brushes which
can be easily accessed on either the front or back
of the motor housing.
WARNING: Disconnect the plug from
the power source before making any
Circular saw
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.
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
