placed in the storage area located at back of
the base plate.
7. USING THE LASER GUIDE (See Fig. K)
(WX426)
WARNING: Never stare directly into the
laser beam and never point the beam at
anybody. The laser beam energy is extremely
harmful to human eyes.
Push the laser on/off switch (3) to 'I' to turn the
laser on. The laser device can provide a beam
in the same plane as the blade, which projects
onto the workpiece to generate a line. The
saw blade can be directed to follow the line in
order to align the cut. Either straight cutting
or bevel cutting, it will make more precise
movement during operation.
Push the laser on/off switch (3) to '0' to turn
the laser off.
NOTE: Clean the laser generator
periodically.
8. ACCESSIBLE MOTOR BRUSH
REPLACEMENT (See Fig. L)
There are two replaceable motor brushes
which can be easily accessed on either the
front or back of the motor housing.
WARNING: Disconnect the plug
from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
ATTENTION: When servicing a
tool, ALWAYS use only genuine
replacement parts
1. Locate the plastic motor brush access
caps on either the front or back of the motor
housing.
2. Remove the threaded access cap using a
flat head screwdriver and turn in a counter-
clockwise rotation to loosen. Do not apply
excessive force as this may damage the
access plug.
3. Remove the old motor brush.
4. Insert the new motor brush making sure
that it is completing inserted into the brush
holder.
5. Replace the access cap with the flat-head
screwdriver turning clockwise to tighten.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, run it 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 work piece down to ensure
minimum splintering. Only use sharp saw
blades of the correct type.
For 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
operate 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.
Ensure the blade is not touching but is close
to the work surface. The moving lower guard
must be rotated open by using the lever.
Switch on the saw 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.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
