7.3 Angle adjustment (Fig. 3)
▪ Loosen the angle gauge knob (9) and angle adjustment lock knob (3).
▪ Adjust the base plate to the desired angle between 0° to 45°. Set the required angle on
the angle gauge (8) and lock it with the knob (9).
▪ Tighten the angle adjustment lock knob (3).
7.4 Switching on and off(Fig.4)
Before engage the ON/OFF switch, check that the saw blade is properly
fitted and run smoothly, the blade clamp bolt is well tightened.
▪ Connect the plug to the power supply.
▪ To switch on the circular saw, press the lock-off button (17) and pull the ON/OFF switch
trigger (18).
▪ When you release the switch trigger (18), the tool turns off.
7.5 Parallel cut adjustment(Fig.5)
▪ Loosen the lock knob of parallel guide (10).
▪ Slide the parallel guide (11) through the slots in the shoe to the desired width.
▪ Tighten the lock knob (10) to fit it in the position.
▪ Ensure that the edge guide rests against the wood along its entire length to give a
consistent parallel cuts.
8 OPERATION
8.1 General cutting
▪ When starting, always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle (5) with
the other hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light and continuous pressure after
completing the cut allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is interrupted,
resume cutting by allowing the blade to reach full speed and then reentering the cut
slowly.
▪ When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to lift and tear,
moving the saw slowly minimizes this effect.
8.2 Pocket cutting
▪ Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth
adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut .raise the lower guard by
using the lift lever.
▪ With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to
come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be cut using the front
end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard.
When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward
direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it
from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and
kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing
forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.
8.3 Cutting Large Sheets
▪ Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut
without leveling 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. If the piece is too large for the
workbench, use the floor with the two-by fours supporting the wood.
