OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (PICS.2&3)
Keep guards in place and in good working order at all times to
avoid serious accidents.
Support large panels as shown in (Pic.2) to minimize the risk
of blade pinching and kickback. Pic.3 shows the wrong way to
cut large pieces of wood, cutting in this way will cause serious
injury to the operator.
When cutting, the saw should rest on the larger piece of the
material and the smaller piece cut off.
Use a rip fence at all times, this will help to prevent side pressure
being exerted on the blade and will also give a straighter cut.
GUARDING AGAINST KICK BACK (PIC.4)
Kick back occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back
towards the operator. To avoid kick back keep blades sharp and
always support large work pieces correctly. Release the switch
immediately if blade binds or if the circular saw stalls.
Do not remove the saw from a work piece while the blade is
still moving. Never place your hands or fingers behind or in
front of the saw (Pic 4). If kick back occurs, the saw could jump
backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.
Always lower guard with the retaining handle. Before cutting be
sure that the depth and bevel adjustments are tight.
Use only the correct blades for your power tool with the correct
bore size.
Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
Avoid cutting nails by inspecting the work piece, remove all nails
from the work piece before cutting.
Operate with the correct hand and work piece support.
WARNING!
It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the
saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury.
Pic.5 illustrates the correct hand positions to support of the saw
safely.
Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work
piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall
off when the cut is made. If the work piece is short or small,
clamp it to a suitable support.
DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
Pic.6 illustrates the correct way to cut off the end of a board.
Pic.7 shows the wrong way to cut off the end of a board.
Never attempt to saw with the Circular Saw held upside down
in a vice (Pic.8) this is extremely dangerous and can lead to a
serious accident.
Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure
that the lower guard has closed and the blade has come to a
complete stop.
ADJUSTMENTS (PICS. 9 TO 12)
DEPTH OF CUT AT 90° (PIC.9)
The Circular Saw has an adjustable depth of cut. To adjust the
depth of cut slacken the lever located on the side of the machine
(Pic.9). Measure the depth required from the base plate to the
highest point of the blade or use the depth gauge on the fixed
guard. (Pic.10).
ANGLE OF CUT 0-45° (PIC.11)
Located at the front of the machine is the 0-45° locking lever
(Pic.11). Slacken the lever and the base plate assembly will
rotate between 0-45°. Set the desired cutting angle by using
degree scale at the front of the machine and tighten the locking
lever.
At the front of the base plate there are two notches marked 90°
and 45°. These notches are a guide to indicate the position of
the blade in relation to the cut being made in the material.
PARALLEL CUTTING (PIC.12)
This machine is supplied with a parallel cutting guide. This
cutting guide is fitted to the front of the machine and secured
with the locking knob (Pic.12).
CHANGING THE BLADE (PICS. 13 TO 16)
CAUTION: Always ensure that the Circular Saw is disconnected
from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance or
adjustments.
The blade is extremely sharp and care must be observed when
handling.
Caution must be observed as the blade guard is spring loaded
and if released may cause an injury. Rotate the blade guard
into the fully open position and secure it in this position using a
screwdriver or piece of wood.
Depress the spindle lock and using the supplied hex key,
unscrew the hex socket screw in a anti-clockwise direction.
(Pic.13 - 14)
CAUTION: The hex socket screw is a normal right hand
thread.
Remove the hex socket screw and the retaining flange noting
which way round the retaining flange is fitted (Pic.14). You can
now remove the blade.
NOTE: Do not dispose of the blade in house-hold waste, recycle
