ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and o. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the BATTERY pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may aect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations dierent from those

qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
4.4. CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
1. DANGER!! Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut
by the blade.
ENGLISH

EN
DE
FR
NL
ES
PT
IT
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
3. 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.
4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece 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. Contact with a “live” wire will also 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 (diamond versus round) of arbour
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 were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
9. Kickback causes and related warnings
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;
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, 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 kerf and
jump back toward the operator.
• Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
10.Maintain a rm 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.
11.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.
12.When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk
up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
13.Support large panels to minimise 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.
14.Do not use dull or damaged blades. Blunt
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
15.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.
16.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.
Lower guard function
17.Check the 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 part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
18.Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
ENGLISH
9

before use. The lower guard may become
sluggish due to, gummy deposits, or a build-up
of debris.
19.Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”
and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
20.Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is
released.
21.This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
22.Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.

bolt securely with the provided wrench and
release the spindle lock.
6.7. REMOVING THE BLADE
1. Unplug the rechargeable battery for all service
work.
2. See g. 3. It is not necessary to remove the
outer blade cover, just leave it in place. Push
in the spindle lock and using the supplied
hex wrench, rotate the blade until the lock
engages the blade spindle.
3. Avoid contact with the blade teeth to prevent
personal injury.
4. While holding the blade lock lever, use the
provided wrench to loosen the blade retaining
bolt. Then remove it and the outer spindle
ange.
5. The blade may now be carefully removed.
6.8. ADJUSTMENT DEPTH OF CUT
Adjust the depth of cut so that the saw blade
protrudes through the thickness of work piece. To
adjust the depth of cut:
1. Unplug the rechargeable battery for all service
work.
2. Lift the depth lock lever at the rear of the saw.
See g. 4.
3. Raise or lower the saw base until the blade
extends the desired depth below the base.
(See the scale and pointer cast into the main
body casting.)
4. Press the depth lock lever down rmly, locking
the saw in the selected position.
6.9. ADJUSTMENT OF BEVEL ANGLE
To adjust the bevel angle, refer to the bevel gauge
on the base. There are markings for dierent angles
from 0 to 45 degrees. To adjust the bevel angle:
Loosen the bevel lock knob
( See g. 5 ) and the smaller knob at the rear. Lift the
bevel lock knob out of the slot and rotate the base
to the desired angle. The most commonly used
angles each have an individual slot. Simply drop the
bevel lock into the slot and tighten. If other angles
are needed, tighten the bevel lock knob to hold at
the desired position. Then tighten the smaller knob
at the rear of the base.
6.10. HOW TO USE THE SIGHTING NOTCH
To aid in free- hand cutting, a sighting notch is
located at the front of the base. See g. 6. Align
the cutting line on the work piece with the sighting
notch. Make the cut. Use the right-hand notch
(between the two marking dots) for straight cuts
and the left- hand notch (located below the rivet)
for 45- degree bevel cuts.
6.11. STARTING AND STOPPING TOOL
Do not press the trigger switch before or while
inserting the rechargeable battery. To start the
machine, rst press the safety lock button then
squeeze the trigger switch to start the motor.
Release the trigger switch to stop the motor. See
g. 7.
6.12. REMOVING CHIPS
This dry-cut metal saw has an internal chip collector.
When the chip collector is full, the chips
ENGLISH
12

DE
FR
NL
ES
PT
IT
must be cleared. To do this, rst shut down and
Unplug the rechargeable battery. The outer blade
cover lock knob has a bayonet lock thread. See g.
8. To remove cover, turn knob anticlockwise while
pushing in against the spring tension. Then lift
cover away. Recently- cut chips can be very hot.
Take care when removing the cover to keep the
chips or shavings away from your hands or other
body
parts. Do not throw hot debris where paper or other
ammable materials are located. To replace the
outer blade cover, line up tang with slot and push in
against the spring while turning clockwise. Ensure
that the cover is properly seated.
6.13. HOW TO USE THE RIP FENCE
Using the rip fence will provide more accurate
straight cuts than by cutting free- hand. For instal-
lation, Unplug the rechargeable battery. Then insert
the rip fence in the mounting slots in the base.
6.14. LOWER RETRACTING BLADE GUARD
The lower retracting blade guard is a safety device
important for your protection. Every
time you use the saw, make sure that the guard
rotates freely and returns quickly and completely
to its closed position. Before each use, remove
any accumulated chips, or shavings from the area
around the hub of the guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE
THIS AREA. The hub has a dry lm lubricated surface
that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge
the blade guard in the open position. NEVER use
your saw if the blade guard is not in working order.
If blade guard movement is sluggish or if binding
exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair.
6.15. HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Eective control of this powerful saw requires
two- handed operation for maximum protection.
Support the work properly and to hold the saw
rmly WITH BOTH HANDS to
prevent loss of control which could cause personal
injury. Always hold the side handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right hand for
proper hand support of the saw. Protect your eyes
from injury with safety glasses or goggles.
Do not use cutting uids or lubricants on the blade.
6.16. CLAMP THE WORK PIECE
Secure the work piece properly. The work piece
should be straight and rmly clamped to avoid
possible
movement and pinching as the cut nears
completion. Provide adequate support for long or
wide work pieces. Conrm that the blade has come
to a complete stop before removing or securing the
work piece, or changing the work piece angle. Press
the safety, then the trigger switch. Move the saw
forward to contact the work piece. Clamp the work
piece on a rigid support, such as a bench or saw
horses. Mark the line of cut on the work piece. Be
sure that the cuto line is far enough on the work
piece to allow proper operation of the telescoping
guard. Place the front edge of the saw squarely on
work piece before starting the motor. Sight the
cutting line with the sighting notch indicator or
use the rip fence. Be certain that the blade is not
contacting the work piece. Press the safety, then the
trigger switch, allow the motor to come up to full
speed and move the saw forward to begin the cut.
Do not force the cut. Let the saw do the cutting at
the rate of speed permitted by the type of cut and
work piece. Increase feed pressure as the blade
cuts through the thicker cross-sections (to maintain
minimum “sparking”). Decrease the feed pressure as
the blade cuts through the thinner cross sections
(to maintain motor speed and avoid overloading
the machine). After completing the cut, release the
power switch and wait for the coasting blade to
stop completely before putting the saw down.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses
while using compressed air.
7.2. WARNING
Make sure that the tool is turned o and not
connected to a power source before you perform
maintenance and/or examine the tool. For safety
reasons and in order to ensure proper functioning
of the device, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
of the tool must be performed by a certied service
center. Use only original spare parts.
