Operation
Handling your circular saw
• ALWAYS hold the saw securely, with both hands, by the handles provided
• ALWAYS allow the blade to come to a complete stop before placing the machine down
• ALWAYS unplug the machine if it is to be left unattended
• ALWAYS make sure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate
Making a cut
1. Hold the saw securely and rest the front edge of the Base Plate (7) on the edge of the workpiece
2. Check that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece, or any other object
3. Start the machine by pressing in the Lock Off Button (18) and squeezing the On/Off Trigger
Switch (3)
4. Allow the motor to reach full speed, and push the saw smoothly forward, across the workpiece
5. Maintain a steady movement and ensure the Base Plate is kept pressed against the work
NOTE: The front edge of the Base Plate features a guide notch. For normal cutting align the notch
marked '0˚' with the intended cutting line; for 45˚ bevel cutting align the notch marked '45˚' with
the cutting line.
6. Allow the blade to pass through the material and release the On/Off Trigger Switch. Alternatively,
if the cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece, release the On/Off Trigger Switch and allow
the blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut
WARNING: DO NOT place the machine down until the blade has stopped completely.
Using the parallel guide fence
• When working parallel to an edge, the Parallel Guide Fence (8) can be used to help guide the saw
• Attach the Parallel Guide Fence to the Base Plate (7), and secure it by tightening the Guide
Locking Screw (14). Ensure the Parallel Guide Fence is attached securely
• The position of the Parallel Guide Fence can be adjusted to suit different tasks
• To follow an edge, keep the vertical foot of the Parallel Guide Fence pressed against the vertical
