Denotes risk of personal injury or damage to the tool.

Class II - The machine is double insulated; Earthing wire is therefore not necessary.

Read the manual carefully before use.

Always wear safety goggles.

In accordance with essential requirements of the European directive(s).

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.POWX1410 EN Copyright © 2016 VARO P a g e | 4 www.varo.com

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Do not reach underneath the work piece. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of work piece. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.POWX1410 EN Copyright © 2016 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.

7 CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

A kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a stuck, jammed or misaligned saw blade which leads to an uncontrolled saw to be lifted and moved from the workpiece out in the direction of the operator. A kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck or jammed in the saw gap. The saw blade is blocked and the motor force repels the circular saw in the direction of the operator. A kickback can occur when the saw blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the saw groove. As a result, the teeth of the back edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw blade is moved out of the saw gap and the saw jumps back in the direction of the operator. A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can be prevented by appropriate precautions as described below. Hold the saw firmly and bring your arm into a position in which you can resist the kickback forces. Always hold the saw blades on the sides, never bring the blade in line with your body. In a kickback, the saw can jump backwards, but the operator can control the kickback forces if appropriate measures were taken. If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any reason, release the ON / OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the material until the saw blade stands completely still. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it backwards as long as the saw blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate them through appropriate measures. When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted. Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides, both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge. Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw gap. Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cutting, the saw blade can jam and a kickback can occur. Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause a kickback. Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill. An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw. For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment. Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have the saw repaired by a professional.POWX1410 EN Copyright © 2016 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com 8 ASSEMBLY Check for damage to the tool, parts and accessories which may have occurred during transportation. Take some time to read this manual carefully and understand all the content prior to assembly and operation. CAUTION! Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply before assembly.

8.1 Changing the blade (Fig. 1, 2, 3)

Incorrect positioning of the blade can permanently damage the tool. Ensure the tool is unplugged from the mains supply. Set the cutting depth to the maximum. Press and hold the spindle lock button (11) on, release the clamping screw with plain washer (9) by using the inner hexagon wrench (turn clockwise to open). Remove the clamping screw with plain washer and outer Lift up removable protective cover (2) by the lever (7). Remove the saw blade. The installation of a sawblade is done in the reverse order. Press the spindle lock button (11) (until it engages) and tighten the clamping screw (9) firmly. The arrow on the saw blade must agree with the arrow showing the direction of rotation (running direction shown on the device).

8.2 Dust extraction (Fig. 4)

The metal saw has a dust collection box (13) which collects the chippings from cutting the work piece when working. If the dust collection box is full, open the cover (12) of dust collection box, empty dust, scrap iron, etc. in the body, finally clean the dust collection box.POWX1410 EN Copyright © 2016 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com 9 OPERATION

9.1 Switching on and off (Fig. 5)

Note: Before engaging the on/off switch, check the saw blade to see if it is fitted properly and runs smoothly, and the blade clamp screw is well tightened. Connect the plug to the power supply. To start the tool, depress the unlock button(5) and press the switch trigger(6). Release the trigger(6) to turn the tool off.

9.2 Line following (Fig. 6)

A V-shaped pointer locate at the front of the base plate (14) which allow a line to be followed, when cutting.

9.3 Depth Adjustment (Fig.7)

Loosen the cutting depth setting clamp (15) by lifting the lock lever. Set the required cutting depth on the scale (3) Re-clamp the lock lever (15)

9.4 Setting the guide fence (Fig. 8)

Release the lock screw for guide fence (1) on the base plate (14) and set the guide fence in the guide fence slot (16). Set a desired width and retighten the lock screw for the guide fence (1).

Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the material to be cut. Fit the correct blade ensuring it is sharp and not damaged. Set the depth of cut. Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench or table. Use a piece of scrap material underneath if: You do not wish to damage the work surface. Plug into mains supply. Grasp the tool firmly and rest its metal base plate onto the surface to be cut. Ensure that the rear half of the base plate overhangs the work surface. Do not plunge the blade into the material. NOTE: Never draw the tool backwards. Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. Excess force will cause operator fatigue and excessive wear to the blade and tool. Excess force is also likely to cause the temperature cut-out to trip, resulting in delays. Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If a lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from within the tool. Ensure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is particularly important at the start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the base plate is not fully supported.POWX1410 EN Copyright © 2016 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com
