OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. We recommend that this tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less. 1. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. A) Lift the depth of cut lock lever and raise the saw body away from the base plate. Set the depth of cut with the scale and tighten the screw to lock. Always add 3 mm to your depth of cut so that the blade can cut through the material. 2.
5. CUTTING GUIDE There is a cutting guide notch (10) on the front of the base plate (11) for use with a parallel guide. For straight cuts, use the 0º guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale. For a 45º bevel cut, use the 45º guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale (See Fig. G,H). Securely clamp the parallel guide Always make a trial cut to check the setting. E F G 6. FRONT HANDLE (See Fig.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW If your power tool becomes too hot, run your circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. The quality of cut will improve as the number of blade teeth increase. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Support large panels close to the cut line. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut.
