STATUS CP190C 4071101 [11/64] Operation

OPERATION

SWITCHING ON/OFF

WARNING: When starting the circular saw, hold it securely with both hands. The torque

from the motor can cause the tool to twist.

Switching on: Press the lock-o button (22), and then squeeze the ON/OFF switch (9).

Switching o: Release the ON/OFF switch (9).

Your saw should be running at full speed before starting the cut and turned o only after

completing the cut.

DUST EXTRACTION

Use a vacuum cleaner during operation. Connect the vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction

port (7) and switch on the vacuum cleaner prior to starting a cut.

CUTTING

Always hold the back handle (8) with one hand and the front handle (11) with the other

hand.

WARNING: After switching o the saw, be aware of the necessary time it takes for the

blade to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do not allow the saw to brush

against your body, since the blade guard (20) is retractable, it could catch on your clothing

and expose the blade (1).

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress the lock-o button (22), squeeze

the ON/OFF switch (9) and allow the blade (1) to reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly

and resume cutting.

When cutting across the grain, the bres of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.

Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this eect.

Cutting Large Sheets

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut

without levelling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing

kickback and extra load on the motor.

Use timber underneath the sheet or board to raise it for support. This will ensure a safe and

stable cutting operation. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the

depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or work

bench. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use supporting

timbers on the oor and secure.

Rip cuts

The rip fence (15) is used when cutting parallel to the edge of a shaped part. To attach rip

fence (15), insert rip fence through rip fence slots in base plate (5) to desired width and

secure with the rip fence lock knob (17).
