OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL

Vertical cutting

Set maximum cutting depth. Loosen bevel adjustment xing (24), set it to 0º on bevel scale

(23), retighten bevel adjustment xing (24) and check for 90º angle between the blade (1)

and bottom plane of the base plate (5) with a square.

Bevel cutting

The base plate (5) can be adjusted to 0°–45°. Loosen the bevel adjustment xing (24). Align

it to the desired angle on calibrated bevel scale (23). Then tighten bevel adjustment xing

(24).

Due to the increased area of blade engagement in the work and decreased stability of the

base plate, blade binding may occur. Keep the saw steady and the press the base plate

rmly on the work piece.

Use a protractor when you have to set a precise angle.

LINE GUIDE

For a straight vertical cut, use the cutting guide notch (19) in the base plate (5). For 45º

bevel cuts, use cutting the guide notch (18). Make sample cuts in scrap timber to verify

actual line of cut.

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.

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.
