A circular saw is used for quick and precise straight cuts through wood
and its by-products. It is essential for cutting a plank lengthways or for
cutting up a number of panels. For example, it is ideal for cutting up
melamine planks to make shelving or for cutting the work surface in a
fitted kitchen.
The more teeth the blade has, the finer the cut.
To increase efficiency, always adjust the depth of the cut in order that the blade ex-
tends beyond the thickness of the material by the height of one tooth.
The laser, if your machine has one, produces a beam of light which shows you where
the blade will go.
The lighting function, if your machine has one, makes it more comfortable to work
with in dark environments.
The splitting knife set at the back of the blade prevents the score line does not tighten
back up once the blade has gone past.
The tungsten carbide insert blades cut better and remain sharp for longer. Always use
a suitable blade that is in good condition and perfectly sharp.
The saw must be held strongly and the soleplate must be flat against the surface to be
sawn.
Follow the sawing line using the notch in the soleplate. One side for 90° cuts and the
other for 45° cuts.
It is better to hook your machine up to a vacuum cleaner in order to collect as much
dust as possible
Do not attempt to make curved cuts, use a jig saw for this purpose.
At start-up, wait for the saw to reach full speed before starting your cut. 10/ To reduce
the amount of wood splinters coming off, you can place adhesive tape along the
cutting line.
