OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for lengthways
and crossways cutting of wood with straight
cutting lines as well as bevel angles to 51°
while resting firmly on the work piece.
1. DEPTH OF CUT ADjUSTMENT (See Fig
A)
Lift the depth of cut lock lever and raise the
saw body away from the base plate. Set the
depth of cut with the scale and push the lever
down to lock. Always add 3mm to your depth
of cut so that the blade can cut through the
material.
2. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADjUSTMENT
(See Fig B1 &B2)
Turn the base plate bevel lock (6) in anti-
clockwise direction to loosen the angle scale.
Tilt the base plate away from the machine
until the required cutting angle is adjusted on
12
the angle scale (5). Tighten the bevel lock (6)
by turning it in clockwise direction.
USING THE CIRCULAR SAW
1. SAFETy ON/OFF SwITCH (See Fig C)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress the lock off button then the
on/off switch and release the lock off button.
Your switch is now on. To switch off, just
release the on/off switch. You can depress the
lock-off button from either side of the button.
2. PARALLEL GUIDE ADjUSTMENT (See
Fig D)
It is used for making cuts parallel to a
workpiece edge at a chosen distance. Slide
the parallel guide arm through the fixture to
achieve the required cutting distance then
tighten the lock knob to clamp. It can be used
from both sides of the base plate. For straight
cuts, use the 0° guide mark to align with your
parallel guide scale. For a 45° bevel cut, use
the 45° guide mark to align with your parallel
Circular saw with laser
guide scale. Securely clamp the parallel guide.
NOTE: It is best to carry out a trial cut.
3. CHANGING THE SAw BLADE (See Fig
E, F, G)
• Before any work on the machine itself,
pull the mains plug.
• Wear protective gloves when
mounting the saw blade. Danger of
injury when touching the saw blade.
• Only use saw blades that correspond
with the characteristic data given in
the operating instructions.
• Do not under any circumstances use
grinding discs as the cutting tool.
For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place
the machine on the face side of the motor
housing.
REMOVING
Press the spindle lock button (10) and keep it
depressed.
• The spindle lock button (10) may be
actuated only when the saw blade is at a
standstill.
Loosen the blade bolt (15) with the hex key
(20). Remove the outer flange (12). Tilt back the
lower blade guard (13) and hold it firmly with
the lower guard lever (16). Remove the saw
blade (14).
MOUNTING
Clean the saw blade and all the clamping parts
to be assembled. Tilt back the lower blade
guard (13) and hold it firmly with the lower
guard lever (16). Place the saw blade onto the
inner flange (22). Assemble the outer flange
(12) and the blade bolt (15). Use the hex key
(20) to tighten the bolt (15) with 1/4 turn, more
than finger tight.
• Take care that the mounting positions
of the inner flange (22) and outer
flange (12) are correct.
• When mounting: Ensure that the
cutting direction of the teeth
(direction of arrow on saw blade) and
the direction-of-rotation arrow on the
blade guard match.
