INTRODUCTION Thank You for Purchasing a PowerSmart® Product. This manual provides information regarding the safe operation and maintenance of this product. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this manual. PowerSmart® reserves the right to change this product and specifications at any time without prior notice. Please keep this manual available to all users during the entire life of the power tool.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your power tool works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA SAFETY Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet. WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR ELECTRIC COMPACT CIRCULAR SAW Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Cutting Procedures WARNING: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Lower Guard Function Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. Check the operation of the lower guard spring.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION WARNING: Do not use this product if any parts on the packing list are already assembled to your product when you unpack it. Parts on this list are not assembled to the product by the manufacturer and require customer installation. Use of a product that may have been improperly assembled could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this product until the parts are replaced.
7. Make sure the saw blade (13) can turn freely by turning the blade by hand when release the spindle lock button. Make sure counterclockwise is locking saw blade. Fig. 7 Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig 7) 1. Loosen the edge guide locking screw (2). 2. Slide the edge guide (C) through the slots in the base plate (14) to the desired width. 3. Tighten the edge guide locking screw (2) to secure it in the position. 4.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION Switching on and off Note: Before engaging the on/off switch, check the saw blade to see if it is fitted properly and runs smoothly, and the blade clamp screw is well tightened. Connect the plug to the power supply. To start the tool, depress the unlock button (5) and press the switch trigger (6). Release the trigger (6) to turn the tool off. Depth adjustment Loosen the cutting depth setting clamp (9) by lifting the lock lever.
Cutting large sheets Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without levelling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the tool, as an excessive buildup of dust will prevent the tool from operating correctly. The dust extraction hose (B) may block and require cleaning occasionally, especially if damp wood is being cut. 1.
