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 extends 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.
