Clamps
37
are available to secure the guide rail
workpiece
36
(Fig. M). Use of these clamps
guide rail
35
is securely attached to the workpiece
working. Once the guide rail is set to the cut line and securely
fixed to the workpiece, there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTanT: The height scale on the unit is set for using the
saw without a guide rail. When using the saw on the guide rail
the difference in height will be approximately 5.0 mm.
Setting the Circular Saw To the Guide
Rail (Fig. A, N)
The clearance between the circular saw and the guide rail
(Fig. N,
35
) must be very small to achieve best cutting results.
The smaller this clearance the better the straight line finish will
be on the workpiece.
The clearance can be set with the two rail adjusters
(Fig. A) for each channel in the base for 0° cutting
1–45° bevel cutting
20
. The rail adjusters are precision cams
that allow for the reduction of clearance between the unit
and guide rail. Once these adjusters have been set, sideways
movement of the saw during cutting is kept to a minimum
while allowing a smooth cutting action.
nOTE: The adjusters are set to minimum clearance in the
factory and may need adjusting and setting before the unit is
used. Use the following instructions for setting the circular saw
to the guide rail.
REMEMBER: Set the rail adjusters on the saw to the guide rail.
1. Undo the screw inside the rail adjuster to allow for
adjustment between the saw and the guide rail.
2. Retract the lower guard and place the unit on the guide rail,
ensuring the blade is in the highest position.
3. Rotate the adjuster until saw locks on guide rail.
IMPORTanT: Make sure the saw is securely attached to the
rail by trying to push the saw forward. Ensure there is no
movement of the saw.
4. Rotate the adjuster back slightly until saw slides easily along
the rail.
5. Hold the rail adjuster in position and tighten the
screw again.
nOTE: aLWaYS adjust the system for use with other rails.
The rail adjusters are now set up to minimise sideways deviation
when cutting with the saw on the guide rail.
Before using the saw, the anti-splinter guard
rail will need tuning in. Refer to Tuning the Anti-Splinter Guard.
Tuning the Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. N)
The guide rail
35
is equipped with an anti-splinter guard
that has to be tuned to the saw before the first use.
The anti-splinter guard
38
is situated on each edge of the
guide rail (Fig. N). The purpose of this anti-splinter guard is to
provide the user with a visible blade cut line while reducing
the chipping that occurs along the workpiece cut edge
during cutting.
IMPORTanT: aLWaYS read and follow the Setting
the Circular Saw to the Guide Rail before cutting the
splinter guard!

Steps to Tune the Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. O–R)
37
ensure that the
1. Place the guide rail
36
for safe
a minimum length of 100 mm overhanging the workpiece
(Fig. O). Use a clamp to ensure that the guide rail is securely
attached to the workpiece. This will ensure accuracy.
2. Set the unit to a 20 mm depth of cut.
3. Place the front of the saw on the overhang end of the guide
rail, making sure that the blade is positioned in front of the
rail edge (Fig. P).
4. Turn the saw on and slowly cut the splinter guard along the
full length of the rail in one continuous operation. The edge
of the splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting
edge of the blade (Fig. Q).
To tune in the anti-splinter guard on the other side of the guide
rail, remove the saw from the rail and rotate the rail 180°. Repeat
19
,
20
steps 1 through 4.
19
and for
nOTE: If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled to 45°, then
repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows one side of the rail for
cutting parallel cuts and the other side of the rail is tuned in for
45° bevel cuts (Fig. R).
nOTE: If the anti-splinter guard is tuned in for parallel cutting
on both sides, then when the unit is bevelled, the blade will not
run true to the edge of the anti-splinter guard. This is because
the pivot point of the unit bevel is not stationary and the blade
moves out over when the unit is bevelled.
Kerf Indicator (Fig. S–U)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw
along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The kerf
indicator lines up with the left (outer) side of the saw blade,
which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the
right of the indicator. Guide along the penciled cutting line so
that the kerf falls into the waste or surplus material. Fig. T shows
the saw in the parallel cutting position relative to the guide rail.
Fig. U shows the saw in the bevel cutting position relative to the
guide rail.
Prior to Operation
•
Make sure the guards have been mounted correctly. The saw
blade guard must be in closed position.
•
Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of the
arrow on the blade.

Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
