more than finger tight using the hex key.
4) Check that the blade is securely fastened by continuing
to hold down the spindle lock button and attempting
to manually rotate the blade. If installed correctly, the
blade should not spin.
NOTE: For best cutting results, use a saw blade suited to
the material and cut quality desired.
2. SAWDUST REMOVAL (SEE FIG. B)
Your saw includes a dust extraction outlet that can be
attached with a vacuum adapter (not supplied) for dust
removal. This adapter port can be attached to a vacuum
cleaner (sold separately). The use of the vacuum is strongly
recommended as it keeps the work area clean, dramatically
increases cut visibility and reduces airborne dust. It also
keeps dust out of the working elements of the guard.
3. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH (SEE
FIG. C1, C2)
1) Determine the desired depth according to the thickness
of the material plus a blade allowance of 3mm.
2) Loose the depth adjustment knob by turning it counter-
clockwise. (SEE FIG. C1)
3) Manually lift the machine handle upwards away from
the base plate or downwards towards the base plate to
achieve a desired depth, by aligning the depth indicator
(a) with the depth scale. (SEE FIG. C1, C2)
4) Tighten the depth adjustment knob by turning it
clockwise. (SEE FIG. C2)
4. ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE (SEE FIG.
D1, D2)
1) Loosen the bevel angle adjustment lock knob by
turnning it in couter-clockwise direction. (See Fig. D1)
2) Tilt the base plate away from the machine until the
required cutting bevel angle is achieved by aligning the
triangle symbol (b) with the bevel angle scale. (See Fig.
D1, D2)
3) Tighten the bevel angle adjustment lock knob by turning
it in clockwise direction. (See Fig. D2)
5. PARALLEL GUIDE (SEE FIG. E1, E2)
The parallel guide enables exact cuts along a workpiece
edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.
1) Use the hex key to rotate the parallel guide clamping
bolt counter-clockwise to loosen.
2) Slide the parallel guide left or right to a desired position.
3) Rotate the parallel guide clamping bolt clockwise to
tighten. Check if the parallel guide is locked in place.

OPERATION
1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. F)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
To switch on, push the lock off trigger backwards and then
depress the on/off switch.
To switch off the tool, just release the on/off switch.
2. POCKET AND PLUNGE CUTTING (SEE FIG.
G1-G5)
WARNING: Always maintain proper
control of the saw to make sawing safer
and easier. Loss of control of the saw may
cause serious injury.
NOTE:
• Make a trial cut in scrap material along your cut mark
to determine how much the blade thickness. If any, you
should offset the blade from the cut mark to allow for
the blade thickness to get an accurate cut.
• DO NOT REMOVE the saw and blade from the
workpiece while the blade is moving. It may damage the
cut (kerf), cause kickback and loss of control, and result
in injury.
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. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may
chip the uppermost surface or edges of your work piece.
When cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is finished. Feeding too fast
significantly reduces the performance of the machine and
shortens the life of the saw blade. Always face the good side
of the work-piece down, to ensure minimum splintering.
Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type.
