OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE:
The machine is intended for lengthways
and crossways cutting of wood with straight
cutting lines as well as bevel angles to 45°
while resting firmly on the work piece.
1. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. A)
Lift the depth of cut lock lever and raise the
saw body away from the base plate. Set the
depth of cut with the scale and push the lever
down to lock. Always add 3mm to your depth
of cut so that the blade can cut through the
material.
2. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. B1 & B2)
Lift the base plate bevel lock to loosen and
rotate the base plate to desired bevel angle
with the scale provided. Push the bevel lock
down to clamp the base plate position. Check

the angle and ensure that the base plate is
firmly secured. The angle markings on the
base plate are accurate for most general
purposes but it is recommended to set the
angle with a protractor and make a test cut on
other material for accurate work. Do not use
the depth of cut scale when making bevel cuts
due to possible inaccuracy.
USING THE CIRCULAR SAW
1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig. C)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress the lock off button then
the on/off switch and release the lock off
button. Your switch is now on. To switch off,
just release the on/off switch. The blade may
continue to rotate after switching off. Wait until
the machine comes to a complete stop before
setting down.
2. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
(See Fig. D1,D2)
It is used for making cuts parallel to a
workpiece edge at a chosen distance. Slide
the parallel guide arm through the fixture to
Circular saw
achieve the required cutting distance then
tighten the lock knob (18) to clamp.
CUTTING GUIDE
For WX425 (See Fig. D2)
The Beveltrac TM (3) fixed in front of the base
plate is used as cutting guide.
3. HAND GRIP POSITION (See Fig. E)
Always hold your saw firmly with both hands
when operating.
4. FITTING / REPLACING A SAW BLADE
(See Fig. F, G, H)
Press the spindle lock button and use the hex
key to loosen and remove the blade bolt (13).
Remove the washer (B) and the outer flange
(C). Rotate the lower blade guard clockwise
by pushing the guard lever to take out the old
blade (12). Fit a replaced blade. Ensure that
the blade bore is located on the inner flange
(D) and the blade direction arrow points in
the same direction as the lower blade guard
arrow. Place the outer flange, the washer
and the blade bolt onto the blade bore. Press
the spindle lock again and use the hex key to
tighten the bolt with 1/4 turn more than finger
tight. Check if the blade is securely clamped.
WARNING: Blade teeth are very
sharp. For best cutting results ensure
you use a saw blade suited to the material and
cut quality you need.
5. DUST EXTRACTION OUTLET (See Fig. I)
To remove sawdust, connect a suitable
external dust extraction machine (e.g. vacuum
cleaner) to the dust extraction outlet with
the vacuum adaptor and a flexible hose
connection. Ensure the hose connection is
secure.
6. HEX KEY STORAGE (See Fig. J)
The hex key provided with the saw can be
placed in the storage area located at back of
the base plate.
