Troubleshooting
Below we have listed a few probable causes and
solutions to which you can refer if your circular
saw does not function properly.
1. The temperature of the electric motor ex­
ceeds 70°C.
• The motor has been overloaded by working it
too hard.
• Cut more slowly and allow the motor to
cool down.
• The motor is defective.
• Please contact the service address on
the warranty card.
2. The tool does not work when switched on.
• Damaged cord and/or plug.
• Check cord and/or plug.
• Defective switch.
• Please contact the service address on
the warranty card.
3. When cutting it is very difficult to move the
work forward in a straight line and the cut
is not clean.
• The blade is bent or blunt.
• Replace the blade.
4. The circular saw makes a lot of noise and/
or does not run smoothly.
• The carbon brushes are worn.
• Please contact the service address on
the warranty card.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a
soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth
moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.
These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Replacing hte carbon brushes
• Remove the screws (17).
• Withdraw the carbon brushes (18) from the
circular handsaw and inspect them for wear.
Ferm
• Place the carbon brushes back in the brush
holders provided.
• Check that the copper contact on the carbon
brushes makes good contact with the copper
part in the brush holder.
• Replace the screws (17) and tighten them
firmly.
Frequent use will cause the carbon
brushes to wear down. Regular
inspection, after every 30 hours of use,
is essential. If the brushes have worn
down to less than 4 mm, replace.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part,
