OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The tool is intended for ripping and cross-cutting
wood and other materials in straight cutting lines,
while resting firmly on the work piece.
1. SAFETY ON/OFF
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress lock off button (1) then on/off switch
(4) and release lock off button (1). Your switch is now
on. To switch off just release the on/off switch.
Note: Keep the dust adapter connected to dust
collecting device when using the tool.
2. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE (See Fig. A)
•
Before any changes are made to the tool
itself, unplug the saw.
•
Wear protective gloves when mounting
the saw blade. Danger of injury exists when
touching the saw blade.
•
Only use saw blades that correspond
with the characteristic data given in the
operating instructions.
•
Do not under any circumstances use
grinding discs as the cutting tool.
REMOVING THE BLADE
Press the spindle lock button (5) and keep it
14
depressed.
Manually rotate the blade until the spindle lock
"clicks" into place and keeps the blade from spinning
freely.
Loosen the blade bolt (15) with the Hex Key (3) by
turning it clockwise. Remove the outer flange (19).
Manually retract back the lower blade guard (6) and
hold it firmly with the lower guard lever (7). Remove
the saw blade (13).
MOUNTING THE BLADE
Check to make sure the blade surface and flanges are
clean before reinstalling.
Place the blade onto the inner flange and spindle
making sure the arrow on the blade matches the
arrow direction on the fixed upper guard (8).
Depress the spindle lock button (5).
Insert the outer flange (19) over the spindle and
tighten the bolt (turning counter-clockwise) with 1/4
turn more than finger tight using the hex key (3).
Check that the blade is securely fastened by
continuing to hold down the spindle lock button
(5) and attempting to manually rotate the blade. If
installed correctly, the blade should not spin.
For best cutting results, use a saw blade suited to the
material and cut quality desired.
3. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
-
Release the Depth Adjustment Lever (11) by lifting
it up.
-
Manually push the base plate (12) up or down to
Compact Circular Saw
the desired depth on the scale.
-
Push the Depth Adjustment Lever (11) back down
to lock the base plate at the desired depth.
-
Always add 1/8" (3 mm) to the depth of cut to
ensure the blade has enough clearance to cut
completely through the material.
4. PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. B)
The parallel guide is used for making long, straight
rip cuts.
Slide the parallel guide (16) through the parallel
guide clamping fixture (17) to the desired cutting
distance and tighten the clamping screw to lock into
position. Do not over tighten. It can be used from
either side of the base plate (12).
5. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE (See Fig.
C1, C2)
Release the Bevel Adjustment Lever (18) by pushing
it in the counter-clockwise direction.
-Manually tilt the base plate (12) up or down to the
desired depth on the scale.
-Secure the Bevel Adjustment Lever (18) by pushing
it back down (clockwise) to lock the base plate at the
desired depth.
NOTE: The location of the blade cut-line will change
depending on the bevel angle that is being used. The
blade cut-line location when cutting at 90 degrees or
45 degrees is marked with a notch on the front of the
base plate (12).
The base plate (12) must always be held firmly
against the material being cut to reduce saw
vibration, blade jumping, or blade breakage.
6. SAWDUST REMOVAL (See Fig. D)
Your saw includes a vacuum adapter (10) that
attaches to the dust extraction outlet (9) on the
saw. 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.
If your power tool becomes too hot, please run your
circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Protect saw blades against impact and shock. Cutting
with extreme force can significantly reduces the
performance capability of the tool and reduces the
service life of the saw blade. Sawing performance
and cutting quality depend essentially on the
condition and the tooth count of the saw blade.
Therefore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited
for the material being cut.
Choice of blades: 24 teeth for general work, approx.
40 teeth for finer cuts, more than 40 teeth for very
fine cuts into delicate surfaces, diamond for tile,
cement board, etc.
1. MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS
WARNING: To avoid sudden kick-back, never
start with the stationary blade in contact with
the work.
