INTRODUCTION Thanks for purchasing the WEN Mini Circular Saw. We know you are excited to put your tool to work, but first, please take a moment to read through the manual. Safe operation of this tool requires that you read and understand this operator’s manual and all the labels affixed to the tool. This manual provides information regarding potential safety concerns, as well as helpful assembly and operating instructions for your tool. SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger, warning, or caution.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury, electric shock, fire and/or tool damage. WORK AREA SAFETY 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 2.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES 5. 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 tool may result in personal injury. 6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MINI CIRCULAR SAW WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. 1. TOOL PURPOSE. This circular saw is designed to cut through softwood only. Cutting other materials could result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MINI CIRCULAR SAW full stop before reaching for loose materials or setting the tool down. 12. REPLACING THE SAW BLADE. Check the blade for chipped or broken teeth. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unshaped or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf, causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback. Always use blades with correct size and arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing a loss of control. 13.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MINI CIRCULAR SAW LASER SAFETY ATTENTION: LASER RADIATION. CLASS 2 LASER. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM. 1. Do not look directly into the laser beam with unprotected eyes. Never look into the path of the beam. 2. Never point the laser beam towards reflective surfaces. Never point the laser towards people or animals. Even a laser beam with a low output can cause damage to the eyes. 3. Never open the laser module as unexpected exposure to the beam can occur.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
KNOW YOUR MINI CIRCULAR SAW UNPACKING With the help of a friend or trustworthy foe, carefully remove the saw from the packaging. Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until the saw is completely assembled. TOOL PURPOSE This circular saw is designed to make quick, versatile cuts through soft wood. Refer to the diagram below to become familiarized with the parts and controls of your Mini Circular Saw.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS INSTALLING/REPLACING THE SAW BLADE (FIGS. 1 & 2) Use saw blades with 4-1/2 inch (115 mm) diameter and 3/8 inch (10 mm) arbor. Do not use a blade that does not match the diameter or arbor size. The pre-installed blade has a body that is 1.2 mm thick and theeth that are 1.8 mm thick . Do not use a blade that is thicker than the included blades, as this will prevent the arbor screw from properly securing the blade.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG. 4) Before making a cut, it is important to set the correct cutting depth. The saw’s maximum cutting depth at 90° is 1-11/16 inch (43 mm), at 45° it is 1-1/8" (28 mm). We recommend adjusting the cutting depth about 1/16 inch (2 mm) deeper than the thickness of the material. To adjust the cutting depth, you can either refer to the depth scale, or the edge of the workpiece. Using the Depth Scale: 1. Unplug your mini circular saw from the power source.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS USING THE LASER (FIG. 6) The laser located on the top of your saw can also be used to indicate the line of cut. Unscrew the laser cover and install the two AG13 batteries. Securely replace the laser cover. Switch the laser ON and align the laser line with your cutting guideline. Laser Switch Laser WARNING: Do not look directly into the laser beam with unprotected eyes. See page 8 for important rules regarding laser safety. Fig. 6 INSTALLING THE RIP FENCE (FIG.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE BLADE BEVEL (FIG. 10) Bevel your mini circular saw blade from 45° to 90° to cut your workpiece on an angle. The saw’s maximum cutting depth at 90° is 1-11/16 inch (43 mm), at 45° it is 1-1/8" (28 mm). Be sure to set your saw to the proper depth for the angle you are using (see Page. 12). Bevel Scale 1. Unplug your mini circular saw from the power source. 2. Flip up the bevel locking knob to loosen it. 3.
OPERATION PREPARING FOR OPERATION 1. Prepare the work space and position power cords away from the cutting area. Connect your saw to a dust extraction system (see Page. 13). 2.
