BEVEL CUTTING
• Loosen the knob for base bevel adjustment (5) (fig. D).
• Use the scale to set the saw base (9) to appropriate angle (from
0° to 45°).
• Tighten the knob for base bevel adjustment (5).
Be aware that the risk of kick back is greater for bevel cutting
(pinching of cutting blade more probable), therefore it is
particularly important that the saw base rests on the processed
material with its whole surface. Perform cutting with smooth
move.
MAKING A CUT BY PLUNGING INTO MATERIAL
Disconnect the saw from power supply before starting any
adjustments.
• Set desired cutting depth that matches thickness of material
planned to be cut.
• Tilt the saw so the front edge of the saw footplate (9) rests on the
cut material and 0° marker for perpendicular cutting is in the line
of planned cutting.
• When the saw is in the place to start cutting, lift the lower guard
(13) with the lower guard lever (4) (cutting blade is lifted above
the material).
• Switch the power tool on and wait until cutting blade reaches its
full rotational speed.
• Gradually lower the saw and plunge the cutting blade in material
(during this move front edge of the saw base should have contact
with surface of the material).
• When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard.
• When whole surface of the saw base rests on the material, move
the saw forward to proceed with cutting.
• Never move the saw backwards when the blade is rotating, there
is danger of kick back.
• Finish cutting in reverse order it was started, by turning the saw
around line of contact of the processed material and the front
edge of the tool base.
• Before removing blade from the material, allow it to stop after
switching the saw off.
• Finish the corner fillets with reciprocating saw or hand saw when
necessary.
CUTTING OR CUTTING OFF LARGE PIECES OF MATERIAL
When cutting large boards of material support them to avoid
potential blade hitch (kick back) due to pinching the blade in
material kerf.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before commencing
any activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or
maintenance.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Cleaning the device after each use is recommended.
• Do not use water or any other liquid for cleaning.
• Clean the tool with a brush or blow through with compressed air
at low pressure.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents, they may damage
plastic parts.
• Clean ventilation holes in the motor casing regularly to prevent
device overheating. Do not clean ventilation holes by inserting
sharp objects there, such as screwdrivers and other similar objects.
• In case of power cord damage replace it with a cord with the same
specification. Entrust the repair to a qualified specialist or return
the tool to a service point.
• In case of excessive commutator sparking, have the technical
condition of carbon brushes of the motor checked by a qualified
person.
• During normal operation cutting blade gets blunt after some
time. When it happens it is necessary to apply greater pressure
when moving the saw during cutting.
• When cutting blade is found damaged, replace it immediately.
• Cutting blade must always be sharp.
• Always store the tool in a dry place, beyond reach of children.
CUTTING BLADE REPLACEMENT
• Use supplied hexagonal key to unscrew the fixing bolt for cutting
blade (12) by turning it counter-clockwise.
• To prevent rotation of saw spindle, lock the spindle with spindle
lock button (19) when unscrewing the bolt that fixes the cutting
blade (fig. E).
• Disassemble outer flange washer (11).
• Use lower guard lever (4) to move lower guard (13) so it hides
maximally in the upper guard (2) (check condition and operation
of the spring that pulls the lower guard at that time).
• Slide the cutting blade (10) out through the slit in the saw base (9).
• Position new cutting blade so blade teeth and arrow on the blade
match direction of the arrow on the upper guard.
• Slide the cutting blade into base slot and install on the spindle so
it is well pressed against surface of the inner flange and centred
when seated on its neck.
• Install inner flange washer (11) and tighten the fixing bolt for
cutting blade (12) by turning it clockwise.
When installing cutting blade observe correct direction of the
teeth. Arrow on the saw body shows direction of spindle rotation.
Be very careful when holding the cutting blade in hand. Use
protective gloves to provide protection for your hands against
sharp teeth of cutting blade.
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
Immediately replace worn out (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or
cracked motor carbon brushes. Always replace both carbon
brushes at a time.
• Unscrew carbon brush covers (20) (fig. F).
• Remove worn out carbon brushes.
• Remove any carbon dust with compressed air.
• Insert new carbon brushes (fig. G) (brushes should easily move
into brush-holders).
• Fix carbon brush covers (20).
After the carbon brushes are replaced, start the power tool with
no load and wait 1–2 minutes until the carbon brushes fit to the
motor commutator. Entrust replacement of carbon brushes only
to a qualified person. Only original parts should be used.
All defects should be repaired by service workshop authorized by
the manufacturer.
