Store personnel can assist you and offer advice.Mini multi-function saw EN

1. Always wear a dust mask, hearing

protection and eye protection.

2. Only use saw blades recommended for use

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 mini multi-function saw is a hand held

tool, do not clamp your mini multi-function saw to a workbench.

8. Before cutting, ensure the work piece is

free of nails, screws, etc.

9. Do not cut small work pieces with a mini

multi-function 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. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to

avoid hidden power cable and pipes.

14. After long working periods external metal

parts and accessories could be hot.

1. Keep hands away from the cutting

area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the blade.

2. Do not reach underneath the work-

piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work-piece.

3. Adjust the cutting depth to the

thickness of the work-piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the work-piece.

4. Never hold piece being cut in your

hands or across your leg. Secure the work-piece 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 lso 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 of arbor 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 are specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION

OF KICKBACK: - Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-piece toward the operator; - When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the work piece being cut, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; - 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 material being cut and jump back toward the operator.Mini multi-function saw EN

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 work-

piece, center the saw blade in the work piece cut and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the work-piece as the saw is restarted.

4. Support large panels to minimize 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 can cause 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR MINI MULTI-

FUNCTION SAW WITH LOWER GUARD

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 parts, 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. Assure that the guide plate of the saw

will not shift while performing the “plunge cut” when the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.

4. Always observe that the lower guard

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

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 for 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 stareMini multi-function saw EN

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

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, alumunium, PVC pipe and tile, etc., while resting firmly on the work piece.

WARNING: Be sure to wear

protective work gloves while handling a saw blade. The blade can injure unprotected hands.

WARNING: This tool will be

extremely hot after use. Be sure to let saw, blade and blade spindle clamping screw cool before changing blades. a. Unplug the saw.

WARNING: To prevent personal

injury, Always disconnect the plug from power source before assembling parts, making adjustments or changing blades. b. Loosen the blade spindle clamping screw using the two hex keys included. Place one key into the blade spindle clamping screw and the other key into the back of the spindle assembly. (See Fig. A) c. Turn the key that is in the clamping screw clockwise while holding the other key stationary. d. Remove the screw and the blade clamping washer. (See Fig. B) e. Set the depth of cut scale to the maximum depth of 22mm. Release the blade release lever and rasie the base with the finger lift bracket to expose the blade below the base. f. Grasp the blade with your gloved hand and remove the blade, or install the blade, through the blade slot in the base. g. Place the new saw blade through the blade slot in the base and onto the spindle shaft. NOTE: The teeth of the blade should point upward at the front of the saw as shown in (See Fig. B). NOTE: The warning copy and the Blade Rotation Arrow shown on the blade should face outward towards the operator so it can be viewed (See Fig. C). h. Replace the blade clamping washer .

i. Replace the spindle screw and hand tighten

it in a counterclockwise direction. j. Use the two hex keys to tighten the spindle clamping screw thoroughly. k. Place the two hex keys back in the case. NOTE: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the blade clamping washer to engage with the flat side of the spindle.

2. MAKING DEPTH OF CUT

ADJUSTMENTS (See Fig. D) NOTE: Always use the correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be more than 6 mm below the material being cut. Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. Your saw is equipped with a depth of cut scale that provides increased depth of cut accuracy. The depth of cut scale is located on the top of the upper blade guard (See Fig. D). Our suggest cut depth: Max. cut depth Wood 0-22mm Alu 0-3mm PVC pipe 0-12mm Tile 0-8mm TO SET THE BLADE DEPTH (Fig. E1, E2) Determine the desired depth of cut. Unlock the depth of cut and length of cut Indicator adjustment/Lock lever. Slide the depth of cut indicator to the desired depth of cut. Lock down the depth of cut adjustment / lock lever. The length of cut indicator (See Fig.D) is ideal for plunge or pocket cutting into the middle (or interior) of the work piece when you need to know where the cut will begin and where it will end. This feature allows you to pinpoint the location where the blade will plunge into the work piece, based on the blade depth thatMini multi-function saw EN

was selected. Always practice in a scrap work piece to become familiar with this cutting operation. The selected depth of cut is now set. When the saw’s blade is manually lowered (See Fig. Ka, Kb), the blade will be below the base at the selected depth.

3. ADJUSTING THE 3-POSITION HANDLE

(See Fig. F) Your saw has handle/motor housing with soft- grip that adjusts to 3 different cutting angles, 0°, 15°, and 30°. This feature provides more efficient cutting angles for various applications and added gripping comfort with maximum control. Grasp the handle with one hand and push the handle adjustment button “IN” to release the handle for adjustment. Move the handle forward or backward (See Fig. F) to locate the 3 different positions. When the handle moves into 1 of the 3 positions the adjustment button will snap out and the handle will lock into position. When adjusting the handle, Always be sure that the button has snapped out and the handle is locked in position. If the handle still moves forward or backward, repeat the process until the handle is locked securely in position.

Do not operate the saw if the handle IS not locked in position and can still move forward or backward. Failure to lock the handle in 1 of 3 cutting positions could cause loss of control of saw and result in serious injury.

4. TRIGGER SWITCH (See Fig. G)

To activate the trigger switch to turn the saw “ON”, place your index and middle fingers into the molded finger grip trigger safety release switch, and the other two fingers on the trigger paddle (See Fig. G). Squeeze the finger grip “back” until it “clicks”, then depress the trigger paddle to turn the saw “ON”. To stop the saw, release your grip on the trigger paddle, and the finger grip safety release switch will move back into the “OFF” position.

WARNING: DO NOT stare into

beam. Only turn laser beam on when the saw is on the work piece. Your saw has a built-in laser light. To activate laser light switch, saw must be plugged into power source. a. Do not turn the laser beam on until the saw is on the work piece. b. Mark the line of cut on the work piece. c. Adjust the cutting angle and cutting depth as needed. d. Plug in the saw and push the laser switch forward to turn on the laser. e. Always shut off the laser light when you are finished cutting. f. Your circular saw has a built-in work light for better visibility when cutting. To turn on the LED work light, the saw must be plugged in. Push the switch from OFF to LED.

6. STARTING A CUT (See Fig. J,K,L1,L2)

a) Set-up and clamp your work piece and mark your cut line. b) Set the handle on the saw to the desired angle for your cutting application. c) Set the depth of cut (with corresponding length of cut). d) Position the front of the saw’s base onto the leading end (edge) of the work piece that is solidly supported. Align the center of the “V” notch on the front of the base with the cut line (See Fig. J). e) Manually release the blade guard release lever while holding the finger lift bracket on the rear of the base (See Fig. Ka, Kb) as you lower the saw’s handle and blade to the selected depth. Make sure the blade is not making contact with the workpiece. f) With both hands on the handle, squeeze the trigger’s molded finger grip safety release “backward” while squeezing down on the paddle switch to turn the saw “On”. g) Let the blade reach full speed before you enter the work piece, starting your cut. h) Press down on the saw, keeping the frontMini multi-function saw EN

of the base flat against the work piece as you slowly push the saw’s blade into the work piece (See Fig. Kc).

i) Carefully guide the saw through the line

of cut. Do not bind the blade in the cut; push the saw blade forward at a rate where the blade is not laboring. When the cut is complete, release the trigger safety release and paddle switch and let the blade come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw and blade from the work piece while the blade is moving. This could damage your cut, cause kickback, loss of control and result in serious injury. j) When the blade and saw are clear of and removed from the work piece (See Fig. Kf), the lower blade guard and base will be able to automatically drop down and the blade guard release lever will engage the upper blade guard, locking the blade above the base (See Fig. Kg).

WARNING: Never use the saw with

your hands positioned as shown in Fig. L2.

7. MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS

(See Fig. M1, M2) a) ALWAYS use your saw with your hands positioned correctly (See Fig. M1, M2).

WARNING: Always maintain

proper control of the saw to make sawing safer and easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury. b) When making cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the center of the “V” notch located on the front of the saw’s base (See Fig. J). c) Since the thickness of blades varies, make a trial cut in scrap material along the guideline to determine how much, if any, you should offset the blade from the guideline to allow for the blade thickness to get an accurate cut. Making rip cuts (See Fig. M2) Always use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. You can use either a straight edge (sold separately), or use the parallel guide that is included with your saw.

8. CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE

(See Fig. M1) You can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge to your work piece. a) Mark the position of the side edge of the saw’s base (cutting platform) and then securely clamp the straight edge (sold separately) on the mark and parallel to the cut line. b) As you cut, keep the edge of the saw’s base flush against the straight edge and flat on the work piece. c) Always let the blade reach full speed, then carefully guide the saw into the work piece. Do not bind the blade in the cut. Push the saw forward at a speed where the blade is not laboring.

9. INSTALLING AND USING THE

PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. N1,N2,N3) Your saw comes with a parallel guide that is 7-inches long on the guide edge. It allows you to make accurate parallel cuts when trimming a work piece. It attaches to the saw’s base. The arm of the parallel guide is stamped, on both sides, 0 to 7 inches in 1/4-inch increments and 1 to 18 centimeters in 10-mm increments for easy adjustment of your cut. The parallel guide can be used with the guide edge turned down to guide along the edge of a work piece for rip or cross cuts (See Fig. N2), or turned up to guide against a wall for inside cuts (See Fig. N3). a) Position the parallel guide so the arm can slide into the mounting slots at the front of the saw’s base (See Fig. N1), and loosen the retaining screw. b) Adjust the parallel guide to the desired length of cut. c) Tighten the parallel guide locking screw(20). d) Clamp and support the work piece securely before making your cut. e) Place the parallel guide firmly against the edge of the work piece (See Fig.N2), or against a wall (See Fig.N3). Doing this will help give you a true cut without pinching the blade. f) Be sure that the guiding edge of the work piece, or the wall, is straight so you canMini multi-function saw EN

produce a straight cut (See Fig. N2,N3). g) Always let the blade reach full speed, then carefully guide the saw into the work piece. Do not bind the blade in the cut. Push the saw forward at a speed where the blade is not laboring.

10. PLUNGE OR POCKET CUTTING

(Fig. Oa, Ob, Oc) Cutting into a solid base surface One of the major benefits of this saw is its ability to make plunge cuts directly into the middle, or interior of a work piece, or plunge cut directly into a solid base surface such as sub-flooring, siding, paneling and hardwood or laminate flooring that is mounted on top of sub-flooring. a) Mark the cut line on the surface to be cut. b) Set the depth of cut to the thickness of the material to be cut, (sub/floor, siding, laminate flooring, etc.) c) Align (position) the saw base on the work piece to your mark, using the length of cut guide (so that your starting point lines up with the mark corresponding to the depth of cut setting (See Fig. D). d) Activate the trigger safety release and paddle switches and turn the saw “On”. e) Let the blade reach full speed. f) Manually release the blade guard release lever while holding the finger lift bracket on the rear of the base (See Fig. Oa). g) A. Slowly lower the blade into the work piece. B. Carefully guide the saw through the line of cut until the forward depth marking on the length of cut guide located on the saw’s base aligns with the end of cut marking on your work piece. (Do not bind the blade in the cut; push the saw blade forward at a rate where the blade is not laboring). C. When the cut is complete, release the trigger safety release and paddle switch and let the blade come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw and blade from the work piece while the blade is moving. This could damage your cut, cause kickback and loss of control, resulting in serious injury. h) When the blade and saw are clear of and removed from the work piece, the lower blade guard and base will be able to automatically drop down and the blade guard release lever will engage the upper blade guard, locking the blade above the base.

11. SAWDUST REMOVAL (See Fig. Q)

Your saw includes a hose adapter tube that attaches to the built-in dust extraction port (7) on the saw (See Fig. Q). This adapter tube can be attached to a wet/dry vacuum cleaner (sold separately). This will help remove dust, chips and cutting debris away from the cutting area.

12. NON-SCRATCH BASE COVER

(See Fig. R) Your saw includes a non-scratch base cover (19). Attach it to your saw’s base when you are cutting work pieces that have delicate surfaces (finishes) such as vinyls, plastics, fiberglass, laminate flooring and tiles that could easily be scratched or scraped with the steel base on the saw.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR

TOOL 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. Excessive feed significantly reduces the performance capability of the machine and reduces the service life of the saw blade. Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material to be worked. MAINTENANCE Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. NeverMini multi-function saw EN

use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authorities or retailer for recycling advice.
