Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic 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.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

8
9. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety and
performance levels.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT. Always let the tool cut at its own speed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering if you have long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask for commercial cutting
operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical.
This safetyprecaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition for
maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Cordless Circular Saw
Danger:
a) Do not reach into the cutting area or touch the saw blade. Hold the additional
handle or the motor casing with your other hand. If you hold the circular saw in both
hands, the saw blade cannot injure them.
b) Do not reach under the workpiece. The guard hood cannot protect you from the saw
blade under the
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than one full tooth
height should be visible under the workpiece.

10
d) Never hold the workpiece you wish to saw in your hand or on your leg. Secure the
workpiece on a sturdy surface. It is important that you secure the workpiece well to
minimize the danger of body contact, the saw blade jamming or loss of control.
e) Hold the tool only by the insulated handles when carrying out work during which
the cutting tool could strike concealed power cables or its own cable. Contact with a
live cable will also make the metal parts of the appliance live and will cause an electric shock.
f) Always use a stop or a straight edge when carrying out longitudinal cuts. This will
improve your cutting accuracy and reduce the possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use saw blades of the correct size and with a suitable mounting hole
(diamond shaped or round). Saw blades that do not match the mounting parts of the saw
will not rotate truly and will result in a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade washers or screws. The saw blade
washers and screws have been specifially designed for your saw to ensure perfect performance
and operational safety.
a) Hold the saw firmly in both hands and hold your arms in a position in which you
can withstand the recoil forces. Always hold the saw blade to one side. Never hold
the saw blade in a straight line with your body. In the event of a recoil the circular saw
may leap backwards, but the user can still overcome the recoil forces if he has taken suitable
precautions.
b) If the saw blade jams or the sawing operation is interrupted for any reason,
release the ON/OFF switch and hold the saw steady in the workpiece until the saw
blade has reached a complete stop. Never attempt to take the saw out of the
workpiece or to pull it backwards whilst the saw blade is moving or there is a
possibility of a recoil. Find the reason for the blade jamming and rectify it by suitable
means.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
Causes of and ways to avoid recoil:
1. Recoil is the sudden reaction resulting from a caught, jammed or incorrectly aligned saw
blade which may result in the saw leaping out of the workpiece out of control and towards
the operator.
2. If the saw blade becomes caught or jammed in closing saw gap, it will lock and the power
of the motor will cause the saw to leap backwards towards the operator.
3. If the saw blade is twisted or incorrectly aligned in the cut, the teeth in the rear saw blade
edge may become caught in the surface of the workpiece, which results in the saw blade
leaping out of the saw gap and the saw leaping towards the operator.
A recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the saw. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.

11
c) If you wish to restart a saw that is already in the workpiece, center the saw blade
in the saw gap and check that the saw’s teeth are not caught in the workpiece. If the
saw blade is jammed it may move out of the workpiece or cause a recoil when the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to reduce the risk of a recoil by a jammed saw blade. Large
panels may sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides both near
the saw gap and also at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly
aligned teeth will create increased friction due to the saw gap being too small. In addition the
saw blade may also jam and cause recoil.
f) Secure the cutting depth and cutting angle settings before starting to saw. If the
settings change as you are sawing, the saw blade may jam and cause recoil.
g) Be particularly careful when carrying out a “plunge cut” in a concealed area such
as an existing wall. The plunge-cutting saw blade may block when sawing into concealed
objects and thus cause recoil.
Safety instructions for saws with a swing guard hood
a) Check that the bottom safety hood closes perfectly before using the appliance.
Do not use the saw if the bottom safety hood does not move freely and does not
close immediately. Never clamp or tie the bottom guard hood in open position. If you
drop the saw by accident the bottom guard hood may become bent. Open the safety hood
with the lever and ensure that it moves freely and will not come into contact with the saw
blade or other parts regardless of the cutting angle and depth.
b) Check the function of the spring on the bottom safety hood. Have the appliance
serviced before you use it if the bottom safety hood and spring are not in perfect
working order. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumulations of chips will result in the
bottom guard hood working with a delay.
c) Open the bottom safety hood by hand only for special cuts, such as “immersion
and angle cuts”. Open the bottom safety hood using the lever and release the lever
again as soon as the saw blade has engaged in the workpiece. The bottom safety hood
must operate automatically for all other sawing work.
d) Do not place the saw on a workbench or on the floor unless the bottom guard
hood is covering the blade. An unprotected, moving saw blade will cause the saw to move
opposite to the sawing direction and saw through anything in its way. Remember that the saw
takes a little time to slow down and stop.

12
Wear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear eye protection.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Cutting into a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately if the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high
reaction torque that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when the power tool is
subject to overload.or it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may run into hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more securely with both hands.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust
from light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position
before plugging to outlet (corded tools). Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch that have the switch on invites accidents.
Protect the power tool against heat, e. g., also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire.
Check any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required.

14
Overload Protection
The power cutter is fitted with an overload/overheat protection device. When the tool is
forced to work at an excessive load, the protection device will be activated automatically
to disconnect the power supply. If this occurs, switch off the tool and switch on again to
resume the work, make sure to apply only suitable workload to the tool. When the tool
works under heavy load for a long period of time, the temperature of the tool or battery
pack will increase significantly. The protection device will be activated at a preset temperature
to protect both the tool and the battery. If this occurs, switch off the tool and wait until it
cools down to ambient temperature and resume work.

Installing or removing battery pack.
1. To remove the battery pack, withdraw it from the tool while depressing the tabs (Fig.2)
on both sides of the battery pack.
2. To insert the battery pack, align the ribs on the top of the battery with the grooves in
the housing and slide it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. Lightly pull on the battery pack to ensure it is locked into place and will not
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing an injury.
3. Do not use force when inserting the battery pack. If the battery does not slide in easily,
it is not being inserted correctly.
Changing the blade
IMPORTANT: remove battery
1. Place the saw on the side of a flat surface.
2. Rotate the saw blade by hand while depressing the Spindle Lock (Fig.1-4) until the blade
is locked. Loosen the blade clamping screw (Fig.1-10) with the hex key provided.
3. Remove the blade clamp screw and outer flange.
4. Lift the lower guard (Fig.1-7) with the lower guard lever and remove the blade.
5. Mount the new saw blade onto the spindle.
6. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the blade are pointing the same direction as the
arrow on the lower guard.
7. Reinstall the outer flange and tighten it with blade clamp screw.
8. Make sure the saw blade can run freely by turning the blade by hand.

17
Angle Setting
1. Loosen the angle locking knob (Fig.1-5).
2. Adjust the base to the desired angle between 0º and 45º.
3. Tighten the angle locking knob.
General cut
Always wait the tool to reach its full speed before start cutting. Never force the saw but
maintain a light and continuous pressure after completing the cut, allow the saw to come to
a complete stop. If the cutting is interrupted, resume the cut by allowing the blade to reach
full speed and then reenter the cut slowly.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood will have a tendency to lift and tear,
moving the saw slowly to minimize this effect.
Pocket cut
Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut. Raise the
lower guard by using the lower guide lever.
With the blade is barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to
attain full speed. Using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point, lower the blade gradually
onto the material which being cut. Release the lower guard when the blade starts to cutting.
When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction
to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it from the cut.
Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut, as a result, kickback may
occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jig
saw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners if it is necessary.
Depth Setting
1. Loosen the depth adjustment screw using the cutting depth locking lever (Fig.1-8).
2. Hold the base plate flat against the body of the work piece and raise or lower the body of
the saw until the blade is at the right depth.
3. Tighten the cutting depth locking lever.
Note: for an optimal quality cut, the saw blade should not extend more than 3 mm below the
workpiece.
Switching On/Off
Note: Before engaging the on/off switch, check the saw blade to see if it is fitted properly
and runs smoothly, and the blade clamp screw is well tightened.
1. To start the tool, push the safety lock to either side and squeeze the switch trigger.
2. Release the trigger to turn the tool off.
