CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Circular saw is a hand-held power tool with insulation class II. It is
driven by a single-phase commutator motor. Power tools of this
type are widely used for cutting wood and wood-based materials.
Do not use the saw for cutting firewood. Attempts to use the saw for
purposes other than specified will be considered an improper use.
Use the circular saw only with appropriate cutting blades with teeth
with sintered carbide tips. Circular saw is designed for light duty
works in service workshops and any individual, amateur activities
(tinkering).
Use the power tool in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions only.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Cutting depth for right angle can be set from the range of 0 to
55 mm.
• Loosen the cutting depth locking lever (18).
• Set desired cutting depth (use the scale).
• Lock the cutting depth locking lever (18) (fig. A).
INSTALLATION OF THE EDGE GUIDE
Use the edge guide when cutting material to narrow pieces. Guide
can be installed on either left or right side of the power tool.
• Loosen the parallel guide locking knob (6).
• Insert the edge guide bar (23) into two holes in the saw base (9).
• Set desired distance (use the scale).
• Use the edge guide locking knob (6) to fix the edge guide (23)
(fig. B).
The edge guide (23) can also be used for bevel cutting at angles
ranging from 0° to 45°.
Never put hand or fingers behind the working saw. When kick
back happens the saw can fall on the hand, it may be the cause
of heavy body injury.
MOVING THE LOWER GUARD
Lower guard (13) of the cutting blade (10) is pushed away
automatically as the blade sinks into the material. To remove it
manually push the lower guard lever (4).
DUST EXTRACTION
Circular saw is equipped with dust extraction outlet (1) that allows
for extraction of sawdust produced when cutting.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of
the saw. Hold the saw with both hands when starting up, because
engine torque may cause uncontrolled turn of the power tool.
Remember that rotating parts of the saw rotate for some time
after the tool has been switched off.
The saw is equipped with the switch lock button (16) that protects
against accidental start up.
Switching on:
• Press the switch lock button (16) (fig. C).
• Press the switch button (15).
Switching off:
• Release pressure on the switch button (15).
VOLTAGE INDICATOR
When the saw is connected to power supply socket, the voltage
indicator lamp (3) lights up
CUTTING
Cutting line is defined by cutting line indicators (7) and (8).
• When starting operation always hold the saw firmly with both
hands by two handles.
• Switch on the circular saw only when it is away from the material
that is to be cut.
• Do not press the saw too hard. Pressure should be moderate and
continuous.
• After the cut is finished allow the cutting blade to stop completely.
• If the cutting is aborted before the task is completed, prior to
continuation start the saw and allow for idle operation. Wait until
the tool achieves its full rotational speed and then carefully drive
the cutting blade into the kerf in the processed material.
• When cutting perpendicular to fibres of material (wood), fibres
tend to lift up and tear off (moving the saw slowly minimizes this
effect).
• Ensure the lower guard reaches its extreme position.
• Before starting to cut always make sure that cutting depth locking
knob and knobs for base bevel adjustment are tightened firmly.
• With the circular saw use only cutting blades with correct arbour
hole and outer diameter.
• Processed material must be firmly fixed.
• Place wider part of the saw base on the part of the material, which
is not cut off.
If the object is small, fix the processed material with F-clamps. If
the circular saw base does not move on the processed material,
but is lifted instead, there is danger of kick back.
Properly fixed processed material and firm hold of the tool ensure
full control over power tool operation. This allows to avoid risk of
body injury. Do not try to hold short pieces of material with your
hand.
