GeneraIPower Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and 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 REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or 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.
Electrical safety
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 riskof 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 apower 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 the power tool in damp locations
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
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 personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and /or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool,
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry 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 dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the powertool. 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.
-2-

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
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 binding 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 bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance withthese instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your powertool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Rules for Circular Saws
_Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Cutting procedures
Keep hands and body away
__ from and to the side of the
blade. Contact with blade will result in
serious injury.
To reduce the risk of injury,
check guarding system, it
must cover the blade instantly! Hold saw
with both hands. Support and clamp work.
Wear eye protection.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
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 wotkpiece to
stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for
blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Bladesthat 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.
inspect the condition and quality of the
wood and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting. Wet lumber, green lumber or
pressure treated lumber require special
attention during cutting operation to prevent
kickback.
Hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of
control. Figures in this manual illustrate
typical hand support of the saw.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or it own cord. Contact with a "live"wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live"andshock the operator.
Depending upon use, the switch may not
last the life of the saw. if the switch should
fail in the "OFF" position, the saw may not
start, if it should fail while the saw is
running, the saw may not shut off. If either
occurs, unplug the saw immediately and do
not use until repaired.
-3-

This circular saw should not be mounted to
a table and converted to a table saw.
Circular saws are not designed or intended to
be used as table saws.
Kickback and related warnings
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.
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.
Ifthe 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 tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
Maintain a firm 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.
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 action to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in a wotkpiece,
center 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.
Support large panels to minimize 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.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
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.
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.
The blade washers and the bolt on your
saw have been designed to work as a
clutch to reduce the intensity of a kickback.
Understand the operation and settings of
the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH. The proper
setting of the clutch, combined with firm
handling of the saw will allow you to control
kickback.
VARI-TORQUE
CLUTCH
Never place your hand behind the saw
blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards over your hand.
Do not use the saw with an excessive
depth of cut setting. Too much blade
exposure increases the likelihood of the blade
twisting in the kerr and increases the surface
area of the blade available for pinching that
leads to kickback.
Lower guard function
Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use, Do not operate 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. Raisethe lower guard only with the lower
guard lift lever and make sure it moves freely
-4-

anddoesnottouchthebladeoranyotherpart,
inallanglesanddepthsofcut.
Check the operation of the lower guard
spring, if the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use, Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a buildup of debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "Plunge Cuts"
and "Compound Cuts". Raise lower guard
by lower guard lift lever and as soon as
blade enters the material, lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor. 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.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your
side. Lower guard may be opened by a
contact with your clothing. Accidental
contact with the spinning saw blade could
result in serious personal injury.
Periodically remove the blade, clean the
upper, lower guards and the hub area with
kerosene and wipe it dry, or blow it clean
with compressed air. Preventive maintenance
and properly operating guard will reduce the
probability of an accident.
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DO
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss ofcontrol.
Develop aperiodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Skil Factory Service Center or
Authorized Skil Service Station.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Leadfrom lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

ATTACHINGTHE BLADE
_Disconnect the plug from
the power source before
making any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
1. Turn BLADE STUD with wrench provided
counter-clockwise and remove BLADE STUD
and OUTER WASHER (Fig. 2). If the shaft
moves while attempting to loosen the blade
stud, strike the wrench counter-clockwise tojar
BLADE STUD loose.
2. Retract the lower guard all the way up into
the upper guard. While retracting the lower
guard, check operation and condition of the
LOWER GUARD SPRING.
3. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the
blade point in the same direction as the arrow
on the lower guard.
4. Slide blade through slot in the foot and
mount it against the INNER WASHER on the
shaft. Be surethe large diameter of the OUTER
washer lays flush against the blade.
5. Reinstall OUTER WASHER and tighten
BLADE STUD finger tight. To lock shaft hold
the saw securely by the upper guard with
blade teeth imbedded in scrap wood and
TIGHTEN BLADE STUD 1/8 TURN (45°)
WITH THE WRENCH PROVIDED.
Do not use wrenches with longer handles,
since it may lead to over tightening of the blade
stud. VARFTORQUE CLUTCH
This clutching action is provided by the friction
of the OUTER WASHER against the BLADE
and permits the blade shaft to turn when the
blade encounters excessive resistance. When
the BLADE STUD is properly tightened (as
described in No. 5 of Attaching The Blade), the
blade will slip when it encounters excessive
resistance, thus reducing saw's tendency to
KICKBACK.
One setting may not be sufficient for cutting all
materials. If excessive blade slippage occurs,
tighten the blade stud a fraction of a turn more
(less than 1/8 turn). OVERTIGHTENING THE
BLADE STUD NULLIFIES THE EFFECTIVE-
NESS OF THE CLUTCH.

USING THE LASER LiNE GUIDE
Your tool is equipped with a laser line guide
that will turn on whenever the tool is plugged
in and the laser button is pushed in(Fig. 1).
The laser line is pre-set at the factory to the
kerr of the blade supplied with your saw.
If using the laser line guide for cutting you do
not need the line guide incorporated inthe foot
as it may be in a different setting than the
laser line guide.
The laser light guide is a class IliAlaser with a
maximum output power of 5.O mWatts and
conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
_ ASER RADIATION. AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.
DO NOT stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or object
other than the workpiece. Laser light can
damage your eyes.
DO NOT use tinted glasses
to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for the
application and interfere with the normal
operation of the tool.
_ever aim the beam at a
workpiece with a reflective
surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or
similar reflective surfaces are not
recommended for laser use. Reflective
surfaces could direct the beam back toward
the operator.
Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiationexposure.
The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase
eye hazards.
USING THE GUIDE NOTCHES
WITHOUT LASER LINE
For a straight 90° cut you can use the left or
right side of notch in the foot. For 45° & 51°
bevel cuts, use the left side (Fig 9a).
The cutting guide notch will give an
approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts in
scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut. This
will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum splintering on
the good side of the material to be cut, face
the good side down.

indicating the tool is receiving power (Fig. 1). The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
-10-

To turn tool "ON", press the release button
with your thumb on either side of handle to
disengage the lock, then squeeze the trigger
switch. To turn the tool "OFF", release the
trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will
return to the off position automatically and lock
the trigger.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
GENERAL CUTS
Always hold the saw handle with one hand
and the auxiliary handle or housing with the
other.
_Always be sure either hand
-- does not interfere with the
free movement of the lower guard,Maintain
a firm grip and operate the switch with a
decisive action. Never force the saw. Use light
and continuous pressure.
_After completing a cut and
--the trigger has been
released, be aware of the necessary time it
takes for the blade to come to a complete
stop during coast down, Do not allow the
saw to brush against your leg or side,
since the lower guard is retractable, it
could catch on your clothing and expose
the blade. Be aware of the necessary blade
exposures that exist in both the upper and
lower guard areas.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:
squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to
reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
CUTTING MASONRY/METAL
This tool is not designed for use with metal or
masonry cut-off wheels.
Do not use abrasive wheels
__ with circular saws. Abrasive
dust may cause lower guard to fail.
PLUNGE CUTS
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth adjust-
ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw
forward with cutting guide notch lined up with
the line you've drawn. Raise the lower guard,
using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and
rear handles (Fig. 10).
With the blade just clearing the material to be
cut, start the motor. Gradually lower the back
end of saw using the front end of the foot as the
hinge point.
As blade starts cutting the
-- material, release the lower
guard immediately. When the foot rests flaton
the surface beingcut, proceed cuttingin forward
direction to end of cut.
_ Allow blade to come to a
__ complete stop before lifting
the saw from cut. Also, never pull the saw
-11-
backward since blade will climb out of the
material and KICKBACK will occur. Turn saw
around and finish the cut in the normal manner,
sawing forward, if corners of your pocket cut are
not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or
hand saw to finishthe corners.

CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the
piece,the blade will tend to bind,causing KICK-
BACK andextra load on the motor (Fig.11).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as
shown in (Fig. 12). Be sure to set the depth of
the cut so that you cut through the sheet or
WRONG
board onlyand not the table or work bench. The
two-by-fours used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest sides
supportthe work and rest on the table or bench.
Do not support the work with the narrowsides as
this is an unsteady arrangement. Ifthe sheet or
board to be cut is too large for a table or work
bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floorand secure.
RiP CUTS
The combination blade provided with your saw
is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is
cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood.
Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence
(Fig. 13). Rip Fence is available as an
accessory (not included).To attach fence, insert
fence through slots in foot to desired width as
shown and secure with the wing nut
(not included).

Service
_reventive maintenance
performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard, We
recommend that all tool service, including
service of laser, be performed by a Skil
Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil
Service Station.
TOOL LUBRiCATiON
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready to use. It is recommended that
tools with gears be regreased with a special
gear lubricant at every brush change.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool
have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak
efficiency of the motor, we recommend every
two to six months the brushes be examined.
Only genuine Skil replacement brushes
specially designed for your tool should be
used.
BEARINGS
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings
should be replaced at Skil Factory Service
Center or Authorized Skil Service Station.
Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy
load or very abrasive material cutting) should
be replaced at once to avoid overheating or
motor failure.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents always
disconnect the tool from
the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance, The tool may
be cleaned most effectively with compressed
dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air,
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through openings.
_ Certain cleaning agents and
solvents damage plastic
parts, Some of these are: gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents that
contain ammonia.
CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from
blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene
or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.
lf an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used, This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-
wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs
and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

Canseset prevention,par roperateur, dn rebond :
Le rebondest une r_actionsoudaine_.une lamede scie
pinc_e, gripp_e ou real align6e, amenant ainsi la scie
non contr61_e _ lever et ressortir de I'ouvrage en
direction de I'op_rateur.
Lorsque la lame est pinc6e ougripp_e fermement par le
trait descie qui se referme,la lamebloque etla r_action
du moteur ram_ne rapidement I'outil en direction de
I'op6rateur.
Si la lame devient tordue ou mal align_e dartsla coupe,
les dents du bord arri_re de la lame peuvents'enfoncer
duns la surface sup6rieure du bois, amenant ainsi la
lame _.sortir du trait de scie et _. revenir vers
I'op6rateur.
Le rebond est le r_sultat d'une utilisation erron6e de
I'outil et/ou de m6thodes ou de conditions de
fonctionnement incorrectes, et on peut I'_viter en
prenantlos precautions appropri_es,comme indiqu_ci-
apr_s :
lVlainteneznnepriseferme avec les deux mainssurla
scieet positionnezvosbras demaniere _ resisteraux
forcesde rebond. Positionnezvotre corpsd'un c6te
ou de I'autre de la lame, mais pus duns la trajectoire
de la lame. Le rebond peut faire que la lamesaute en
arri_re, mais I'op6rateur peut contrOler les forces de
rebonden prenantles precautionsappropri_es.
Lorsque la lame grippe on Iorsqu'une conpe est
interrompnepour qnelqne motif que cesoil, rei_chez
la g_chette et tenez la scie sans boager duns
I'onvrage jusqu'_ ¢e que la lame s'arr_te
completement. Ne tentez jamais de retirer la scie de
I'ouvrage on de tirer la scie vers I'arriere pendantque
la lame est en mouvement, ce qni ponrraitprovoquer
an rebond. Recherchezla cause du grippage de lameet
prenezles mesuresn6cessairespour le corriger.
Lorsqueveus remettez une scie en marche duns un
ouvrage,centrezla lame de scie duns le trait de scie
el assurez-vousque les dents de scie ne sont pus
engagees duns I'onvrage.Si la lamedescie grippe, elle
peut remonter ou rebond depuis I'ouvrage Iorsque la
scie est remiseenmarche.
Suppertezlos gros panneauxpourminimiser le risque
de pincement de lame el de rebond. Los gros
panneaux ont tendance _.s'affaisser sous leur propre
poids. Dessupports doivent _tre placessous le panneau
des deux cOt_s, pros de la ligne de coupe et pros du
bord du panneau.
N'utilisez pus nne lame emoussee ou abimee. Les
lames non aff0t_es ou r_gl_es de fa_on inappropri_e
produisent un trait de scie _troit, ce qui cause une
friction excessive,un grippagedelame etun rebond.
Los leviers de blocage de reglage de bisean el de
profondeur de lame doivent _tre serres et fermes
avant de pratiquer la conpe. Un d@lacement du
r_glage de lame durant la coupe pout causer un
grippageet un rebond.
Redonbler de prndenceen pratiqnantune <,conpe en
guichet >,duns des tours existants ou autres parties
avengles. Lalame faisantsaillie pout couper des objets
qui peuventcauserun rebond.
Los rondelles de lame el le bonlon snrvotrescie ont
ere con_us de maniere _ travailler comme un
embrayage pont rednire I'intensite des rebonds.
Comprenez le fonctionnement et les reglages de
I'EiMIBRAYAGEA COUPLE VARIABLE. Le r6glage
appropri_ de I'embrayage, combin_ au maniement
fermede la scie,vous permettrade contrOlerle rebond.
ENBRA_
MARl-TORQUE
Ne placez jamais votre main derriere la lame de la
scie. Lerebond pourrait faire sauter la scievers I'arri_re
par-dessusvotre main.
N'utilisez pus la scie avec nn reglage excessil de
profondenrde coupe. Une exposition excessivede la
lame accroft la possibilit_de torsion de la lame duns le
trait de scie. Elleaccroft Ggalementla surface de lame
