BEFORE USING THE CIRCULAR SAW:
1. Check the following points:
- do the voltage of the motor correspond to the
mains voltage (appliances for a mains voltage of
230 V
- are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good
condition: solid, without any loose ends or
damage;
- if the saw blade is missing any teeth, or if it shows
any cracks, it must be replaced immediately.
- Make sure the blade is secure.
- Use this circular saw to saw only wood, wood-like
products.
2. Do not use circular saw blades wich are deformed or
damaged.
3. Do not use HSS blades.
4. Only use blades meeting the required dimensions, as
well as data and descriptions;
Never apply any blades of which the thickness is gre-
ater than that of the riving knife.
5. Do not stop the blade of a circular saw by pressing the
blade from the side.
6. Check that the blade guard can freely move and fully
closes.
7. Never lock-up the guard in the open position.
8. Never put sideward pressure on the blade. This may
cause the blade to break.
9. Be careful when cutting wood with knots, nails or
cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these can cause the
blade to get stuck.
10. Never leave the circular saw unattended.
11. Use this circular saw to saw only wood or wood-like
products.
USING THE MACHINE:
1. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
2. Never remove wood chips and saw dust that is close to
the saw blade with your hands. If there are small pie-
ces of wood left between the fixed and the movable
parts, the circular saw will have to be stopped. Plug
removed from the socket, before any piece left can be
removed.
3. Check that the blade is suitable for the spindle speed
of the circular saw. Do not attempt to cut before the cir-
cular saw has reached full speed. Make sure the circu-
lar saw runs without load (i.e. is not in contact with the
work) when you switch it on. The circular saw must
have reached its full speed first.
4. Never cut wood that is thicker than the depth of the
saw blade.
5. When cutting in wooden walls or floors, check there is
no wiring or piping where you intend to cut.
6. Switch off the tool and wait until the blade has stopped
completely before moving the saw away from the work
or putting it down. Hearing protection should be worn
when using circular saw.
SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY WHEN
YOU DISCOVER:
1. A defective mains plug or mains lead;
2. A defective switch.
3. Overheating of the circular saw.
4. Smoke or odeur caused by scorched insulation.
