And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use

should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10

C or less. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days. ACCESSORIES Blade 1 Parallel guide 1 Vacuum adapter (32mm&35mm) 2 Hex key 1 We recommend that you purchase your accessories from the same store that sold you the tool.

1. Always wear a dust mask, hearing

protection and eye protection.

2. Only use saw blades recommended in the

3. Always wear gloves when handling saw

blades and rough material. Saw blades shall be carried in a holder whenever practicable.

4. Fully unwind cable drum extension to

avoid potential overheating.

5. When an extension cable is required you

must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.

6. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the

same as indicated on the rating plate.

7. Your circular saw is a hand held tool, do

not clamp your circular saw.

8. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free

of nails, screws, etc.

9. Do not cut small workpieces with a circular

saw. If possible, use a jigsaw.

10. Only make cuts with the blade direction

downwards, never upwards or at the side.

11. Do not use a blade unless the rated blade

speed exceeds the saw no load speed.

12. Never remove the guard system. Never

use the saw if the guard system does not function correctly. Never lock the moving guard open. The guard must move freely.

13. Never use saw blades made from high

avoid hidden power cable and pipes.

15. After long working periods external metal

parts and accessories could be hot.

use wood saw blades.

18. Do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or

1. DANGER: Keep hands away from

cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

2. Do not reach underneath the

workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

3. Adjust the cutting depth to the

thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

4. Never hold piece being cut in your

hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

6. When ripping always use a rip fence

or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. Always use blades with correct size

and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade

washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ALL SAWS CAUSES AND OPERATOR

PREVENTION OF KICKBACK: - Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator; - When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;Circular saw EN

- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

1. Maintain a firm grip with both hands

on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

2. When blade is binding, or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

3. When restarting a saw in the

workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

4. Support large panels to minimise the

risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting

locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

7. Use extra caution when making a

“plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

1. Check lower guard for proper closing

before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

2. Check the operation of the lower

guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

3. Lower guard may be retracted

manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

4. Always observe that the lower guard

is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions forCircular saw EN

future reference. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:

1. The laser shall be used and maintained

in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Never aim the beam at any person or an

object other than the work piece.

3. The laser beam shall not be deliberately

aimed at another person and shall be prevented from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25 seconds area.

4. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed

at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces, e.g. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser applications as the reflective surface may direct the laser beam back at the operator.

5. Do not change the laser device with a

different type. The manufacturer or an authorized agent must carry out repairs.

6. CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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.

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 achieve the required cutting distance then tighten the lock knob (18) to clamp. CUTTING GUIDE For WX426 (See Fig. D1) For straight cuts, use the 0° guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale. For a 45° bevel cut, use the 45° guide mark to align with your parallel guide scale. Securely clamp the parallel guide. NOTE: It is best to carry out a trial cut. For WX425 (See Fig. D2) The Beveltrac

(20) 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 beCircular saw EN

placed in the storage area located at back of the base plate.

WARNING: Never stare directly into the

laser beam and never point the beam at anybody. The laser beam energy is extremely harmful to human eyes. Push the laser on/off switch (3) to ‘I’ to turn the laser on. The laser device can provide a beam in the same plane as the blade, which projects onto the workpiece to generate a line. The saw blade can be directed to follow the line in order to align the cut. Either straight cutting or bevel cutting, it will make more precise movement during operation. Push the laser on/off switch (3) to ‘0’ to turn the laser off. NOTE: Clean the laser generator periodically.

8. ACCESSIBLE MOTOR BRUSH

REPLACEMENT (See Fig. L) There are two replaceable motor brushes which can be easily accessed on either the front or back of the motor housing.

WARNING: Disconnect the plug

from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. ATTENTION: When servicing a tool, ALWAYS use only genuine replacement parts

1. Locate the plastic motor brush access

caps on either the front or back of the motor housing.

2. Remove the threaded access cap using a

flat head screwdriver and turn in a counter- clockwise rotation to loosen. Do not apply excessive force as this may damage the access plug.

3. Remove the old motor brush.

4. Insert the new motor brush making sure

that it is completing inserted into the brush holder.

5. Replace the access cap with the flat-head

screwdriver turning clockwise to tighten.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR

CIRCULAR SAW If your power tool becomes too hot, run it 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. For pocket cutting (soft materials only) this operation requires much skill with a saw and must only be carried out by a competent person.

WARNING: The blade teeth are

exposed during this operation, so operate with extreme caution. Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of cut on the saw. Position the saw over the marked area with the front edge of the base plate resting on the work surface and cutting guide aligned with marked line on workpiece. Ensure the blade is not touching but is close to the work surface. The moving lower guard must be rotated open by using the lever. Switch on the saw and gently swing the blade down into the material but maintain a pivoting force on the front edge of the base. The moving lower guard can now be released for normal action of the guard. MAINTENANCE Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.Circular saw EN
