Intended use
The tool is intended for performing lengthways and cross-
ways straight cuts and miter cuts with angles to 45° in
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
For public low-voltage distribution systems of
between 220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavour-
able mains conditions can have adverse effects to the
operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance
equal or less than 0.35 Ohms it can be presumed that
there will be no negative effects.
The mains socket used for this device must be protected
with a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow trip-
ping characteristics.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to circular saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.

Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary han-
dle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until
blade stops before grasping cut material.
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.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control. (Fig. 1)
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.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
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.
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.
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;
