5. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (3) enables
bevel cutting (See E).The base plate (3) must
always be held firmly against the material being
cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or
blade breakage (See F and G).
6. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the base plate bevel lock of two knobs
(7) and rotate the base plate (3) to set the
bevel angle using the base plate angle scale
(18) provided.Then clamp the base plate (3)
position using the lock (7) (See E). Finally,
check the angle and ensure the base plate is
firmly clamped.The angle markings (18) on the
base plate (3) are accurate for most general
purposes but it is recommended for accurate
work to set the angle with a protractor and
make a test cut on other material. Do not use
the depth of cut scale when making bevel cuts
due to possible inaccuracy.
7. CUTTING GUIDE
There is a cutting guide notch (19) on the front
of the base plate (3) for using with a parallel
guide (21). 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 guide scale. Securely
clamp the parallel guide (21). Always make a
trial cut to check the setting.
8. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
Used for making cuts parallel to a workpiece
edge at a chosen distance. Slide the parallel
guide arm through both fixtures to achieve the
required cutting distance and tighten screw to
lock into position (See Fig H). It can be used
from both sides of the base plate (3).The
cutting distance is shown on the scale by the
0° or 45° notch edge (19). Always make a trial
cut to check the setting.
9. DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET
To remove sawdust, connect a suitable
external dust extraction machine (e.g. vacuum
cleaner) to the dust extraction outlet (13)
using the adaptor (20) and a flexible hose
connection. Ensure the hose connection is
secure (See I).

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, pls run
your circular saw 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 workpiece down to ensure
minimun splintering Only use sharp saw
blades of the correct type.
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
proceed with extreme caution.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth
of cut on the saw. Position the saw over the
marked area with the front edge of the base
plate resting on the work surface and cutting
guide aligned with marked line on workpiece
(See J.1 and J.2). Ensure the blade is not
touching but is close to the work surface.The
moving lower guard must be rotated open by
using lever (5). Switch the saw on and gently
swing the blade down into the material but
maintain a pivoting force on the front edge of
the base.The moving lower guard can now be
released for normal action of the guard.

lubrication or maintenance.There are no user
