Overview

You have purchased a 1200W or 2000W Circular Saw.

Please refer to the safety instructions given earlier in this

manual for important instructions.

The saw is capable of ripping and cross cutting hardwoods,

softwoods and man made boards quickly, accurately and safely.

By loosening the bevel adjustment knob/lever, the body and

the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 55° for

making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of

cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.

The fixed upper blade guard encloses the upper part of the

blade. As the saw advances through the work piece,

the pivoting lower blade guard is pushed back by the edge

of the wood to expose only that part of the blade which is

needed. When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded

lower blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the

blade.

Adjusting the cutting depth

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making

any adjustments.

1. Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.

2. Loosen the depth locking lever (Fig. A).

3. Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the work

piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at

the right depth (Fig. B). Use the depth of cut indicator to

determine the cutting depth.

4. Tighten the depth locking lever.

Note.

Always use the correct blade depth setting.

The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be

more than (6.35mm) 1/4" below the material being cut.

Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback

and result in a rough cut.

Adjusting the bevel angle

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making

any adjustments.

1. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between

0° and 55°. When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a

notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with

the line of cut. Align your line of cut with the inner blade

guide notch on the base of the saw when making 45°

bevel cuts.

2. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob/lever located at the

front of the base plate (Fig. C).

3. Tilt the body of the

saw until the required angle

is reached (Fig. D) using the

bevel scale as a guide.

4. Tighten the bevel adjustment

knob/lever to secure the base

plate (Fig. E).
