Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery operated (cordless) power
tool.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in an
environment where explosive or corrosive
gases could be present. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite fumes. Avoid areas
where there
is excessive dampness or humidity.
•Keep children, bystanders and visitors away
while operating the power tool. Distractions
can cause
you to lose control.
• Always set up or fix the tool in a
stable position.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of 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 a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
•Never yank the cord to disconnect if from
socket. Keep the cord away from heat and
sharp edges.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Tie back long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in injury.
•Accessories and metal parts can become
very hot.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

GB
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the work to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
• Do not use the tool if switch does not turn
it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired. If there appears to be a problem refer
to the “Trouble-shooting” and if necessary
contact a repair centre.
• Disconnect the plug from power before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventative measures reduce the risk of
accidental starting.
•Store tool in a dry location, out of reach of
children and untrained persons. This tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
•Check for misalignment (ie. excessive
vibration), binding of moving parts, or any
damage that may affect the tools operation.
If damaged have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
•Never start the tool while the blade is
touching the workpiece.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in injury.
• Accessories and metal parts can become
very hot.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNINGS FOR LASER LIGHTS
The laser light/laser radiation used in this
product is Class 2 with maximum 1mW
and 650nm wavelengths. These lasers do
not normally present an optical hazard,
although staring at the beam may cause
flash blindness.
Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare
into the beam. Please observe all safety rules as
follows:
• The laser shall be used and maintained in
accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never aim the beam at any
person or an object other than
the work piece.
• The laser beam shall not be deliberately
aimed at personnel and shall be prevented
from being directed towards the eye of a
person for longer than 0.25s.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed
at a sturdy work piece without reflective
surfaces, ie.
wood or rough coated surfaces
are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser
use as the reflective surface could direct the
beam back at the operator.
• Do not change the laser light assembly with
a different type. Repairs must only be carried
out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised
agent.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance
of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Please refer to the relevant European standard

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
CIRCULAR SAWS
• 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.
• Never reach beneath 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
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• 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
straight edge guide or saw bench. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
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 specifically 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;
• 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check
that the teeth are not engaged into the
material.
If the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or
kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
4. Support large panels to minimise the risk
of blade pinching and kickback. Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight.
General Safety Rules6

7
GB
Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce a narrow kerf which
causes excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
6. 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.
7. 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.
Ensure that the retracting blade guard is
functioning correctly:
•Check retracting guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
if retracting guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
retracting guard into the open position. If saw
is accidentally dropped, retracting guard may
be bent. Raise the retracting 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.
•Check the operation of the retracting
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Retracting guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
•Retracting guard should be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.”
Raise retracting guard by retracting handle
and as soon as blade enters the material,
the retracting guard must be released. For
all other sawing, the retracting guard should
operate automatically.
•Always observe that the retracting 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.

CUT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Ensure the tool is disconnected from power.
1. Loosen the depth adjustment lever
(17) and pivot the saw body away
from the baseplate.
2. Adjust the saw until the desired depth
is achieved, according to the cut depth scale
(18).
The depth scale should only be used
as a reference. If an accurate depth is
required, perform several test cuts until the
desired depth is achieved.
3. Push down on the lever to lock, but do not over-
tighten.
For best cutting results the blade
should extend no more than one tooth
depth beyond the thickness of the material
being cut.

Warnings:
• Avoid free-hand cutting. It is much safer
and more accurate to cut with the saw guided
by the parallel cutting guide or a clamped on
batten. If cutting free-hand, always mark a
straight cutting line and keep the saw from
wandering away from it.
• Never perform any cuts on a workpiece held
in the hand. Make sure the workpiece cannot
move during the cut, using clamps wherever
possible.
• Large panels and long pieces must be well
supported close to both sides of the cut to
avoid pinching and kickback. Ensure the
saw is positioned with the wider part of the
baseplate resting on the larger piece, or on the
piece with the best support.
• Prevent kickback by ensuring that you
move the saw in a straight line. Ensure that
your blade is in good order and that the cut
does not close in on the blade. (Use a small
wedge or 3mm spacer in the cut to prevent
it closing if you’re cutting difficult material).
Release the trigger if the saw gives any sign
of stalling but do not remove the saw until the
blade
stops spinning.
CUTTING
1. Rest the front of the baseplate on the
workpiece with your pencil mark aligned with
the sighting device. Ensure the blade is not
touching the workpiece.
2. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and
engage the trigger. When the saw motor
reaches full rotational speed, guide the
saw smoothly along the cut line.
3. Maintain a consistent feed rate - too fast may
put excessive strain on the motor, while too
slow may burnish your workpiece. Avoid any
sudden movements of the saw.
4. After completing your cut, release the trigger
switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the
workpiece while the blade
is moving.
Cutting veneered board
When cutting veneered board or wood less than
20mm thick, set the blade to protrude 5-10mm
through the work and cut with the good face
down. This will reduce splintering on the good
face of your workpiece. When cutting thicker
wood, set the blade to maximum depth to reduce
kickback.
Making a Pocket cut
1. Adjust the depth of cut as required.
2. Adjust the bevel setting to 0˚.
3. Raise the blade guard lever (12) to expose
the saw blade, firmly rest the front of the
base flat against the work piece with the rear
handle raised so the blade does not touch the
workpiece.
4. With the blade just clearing the workpiece, start
the saw and wait
for it to reach full speed (approximately
2 seconds).
5. Slowly plunge the blade into the workpiece,
using the front of the saw baseplate as a pivot
point.
As soon as the
blade starts cutting the material, release
the lower blade guard lever.
6. Commence cutting in a
forward direction to the
end of the cut.
7. After completing your
cut, release the trigger
switch and allow the
blade to come to a
complete stop.
Do not remove the saw from
the workpiece while the blade
is moving.
If the corners of your pocket cut are
not completely cut through, use a
jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
This saw will fit comfortably into most
saw benches.

1. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power.
2. Place the supplied pin wrench (20) inside the
two holes located on the
outer blade flange. Insert
hex key (21) into the hole
in the blade bolt.
Whilst tightly holding
pin wrench turn hex key
in the direction of the
blades rotation (anti-
clockwise). When the
blade bolt is free from
the arbor hole remove
the bolt and blade flange.
3. Hold the retracting blade guard (14) fully back,
carefully slide the blade through the baseplate
and position it onto the inner washer on
the shaft, as the blade teeth are very sharp
protective gloves are required. The graphics
should face out and the arrow on the blade
should point in the same direction as the arrow
in the guard.
4. Fit the blade taking care
to locate it correctly onto
the inner flange. Refit
the outer blade flange
than lightly screw the

ALGEMENE VEILIGHEIDSREGELS
U dient alle instructies te lezen en te
begrijpen. Het niet opvolgen van alle
instructies die hieronder vermeld staan, kan
resulteren in een elektrische schok, brand en/of
ernstig persoonlijk letsel.
De term “elektrisch gereedschap” in alle
hieronder vermelde waarschuwingen heeft
betrekking op uw op de stroom aangesloten
(met een snoer) elektrische gereedschap of uw
met een accu (snoerloos) bediende elektrische
gereedschap.
WERKGEBIED
•Houdhetwerkgebiedschoonenzorgvoor
een goede verlichting. Rommelige en donkere
ruimtes hebben vaak ongelukken tot gevolg.
•Werknietmetelektrischgereedschapin
een omgeving waar explosieve of corrosieve
gassen aanwezig kunnen zijn. Elektrisch
gereedschap veroorzaakt vonken die dampen
kunnen doen ontbranden. Vermijd plaatsen
met een hoge vochtigheidsgraad of veel vocht.
•Houdkinderen,omstandersenbezoekers
uit de buurt wanneer u het elektrische
gereedschap bedient. Door afleiding kunt u de
controle over het gereedschap verliezen.
•Stelhetgereedschapaltijdopineenstabiele
positie.
VEILIGHEID MET BETREKKING TOT
ELEKTRICITEIT
•Destekkersvanhetelektrischegereedschap
moeten passen bij het stopcontact. U mag op
geen enkele manier de stekker aanpassen.
Gebruik geen adapterstekkers bij geaard
elektrisch gereedschap. Het gebruikmaken
van ongewijzigde stekkers en bijpassende
stopcontacten vermindert het risico op een
elektrische schok.
•Vermijdlichamelijkcontactmetgeaarde
oppervlakken zoals pijpen, radiatoren,
fornuizen en koelkasten. Het risico op een
elektrische schok neemt toe als uw lichaam
geaard wordt.
•Laatuwelektrischgereedschapnietnat
worden. Wanneer elektrisch gereedschap nat
wordt, neemt het risico op een elektrische
schok toe.
•Beschadighetsnoerniet.Gebruikhet
snoer nooit om te dragen, te trekken of om
de stekker uit het stopcontact te trekken.
Houd het snoer verwijderd van hitte, olie,
scherpe randen of bewegende delen. Door
beschadigde of in de knoop geraakte snoeren
neemt het risico op een elektrische schok toe.
•Wanneeruelektrischgereedschapbuiten
gebruikt, maak dan gebruik van een
verlengsnoer dat geschikt is voor gebruik
buitenshuis. Het gebruik van een snoer
dat geschikt is voor gebruik buitenshuis
vermindert het risico op een elektrische
schok.
•Treknooitaanhetsnoeromhetuithet
stopcontact te trekken. Houd het snoer
verwijderd van hitte en scherpe randen.
PERSOONLIJKE VEILIGHEID
•Blijfalert,houduwaandachtgerichtopwat
u aan het doen bent en gebruik uw gezonde
verstand wanneer u elektrisch gereedschap
bedient. Gebruik het gereedschap niet
wanneer u vermoeid bent of onder invloed
van drugs, alcohol of medicijnen. Eén moment
van onoplettendheid tijdens het bedienen van
elektrisch gereedschap kan leiden tot ernstig
persoonlijk letsel.
•Maakgebruikvanveiligheidsmateriaal.Draag
altijd oogbescherming. Veiligheidsmateriaal
dat onder de juiste omstandigheden
gebruikt wordt, zoals een stofmasker, niet-
slippend veiligheidsschoeisel, een helm of
gehoorbescherming, vermindert persoonlijk
letsel.
•Draaggeschiktekleding.Draaggeen
loshangende kleding of sieraden. Bind lang
haar vast naar achteren. Houd uw haar,
kleding en handschoenen weg van bewegende
delen. Loshangende kleding, sieraden of
lang haar kunnen in bewegende delen
terechtkomen.
•Zorgervoordathetapparaatnietperongeluk

GEBRUIK EN VERZORGING VAN ELEKTRISCH
GEREEDSCHAP
•Gebruikklemmenofietsandersdatgeschikt
is om het werk op een stabiel platform te
bevestigen en te ondersteunen. Het werk in
de hand of tegen uw lichaam houden is niet
stabiel en kan leiden tot verlies van controle.
•Forceerhetgereedschapniet.Gebruik
elektrisch gereedschap dat geschikt is voor
het werk dat u uit wilt voeren. Geschikt
elektrisch gereedschap werkt beter en veiliger
op een passende snelheid.
•Gebruikhetgereedschapnietalsde
schakelaar het apparaat niet in- en
uitschakelt. Elk gereedschap dat niet bediend
kan worden met de schakelaar is gevaarlijk en
moet gerepareerd worden. Als u een probleem
denkt te hebben, raadpleeg dan de paragraaf
“Problemen oplossen” en neem zo nodig
contact op met een reparatiecentrum.
•Haaldestekkeruithetstopcontactvoordatu
instellingen aanpast, accessoires verandert
of het gereedschap opbergt. Dergelijke
voorzorgsmaatregelen verminderen het risico
dat u het gereedschap per ongeluk start.
•Berghetgereedschapopineendroge
omgeving, buiten bereik van kinderen en
onervaren personen. Dit gereedschap is
gevaarlijk in de handen van onervaren
gebruikers.
•Onderhoudgereedschapzorgvuldig.Houd
zaagwerktuigen scherp en schoon. Goed
onderhouden zaagwerktuigen met scherp
snijdende zaagbladen slaan minder snel vast
en zijn gemakkelijker te bedienen.
•Controleeropfoutieveuitlijning(sterke
vibraties), het vastslaan van bewegende
delen of elke andere afwijking die de
werking van het elektrische gereedschap zou
kunnen beïnvloeden. Indien het gereedschap
beschadigd is, dient het voor u het gebruikt
een onderhoudsbeurt krijgen. Veel ongelukken
worden veroorzaakt door slecht onderhouden
elektrisch gereedschap.
•Starthetgereedschapnooitterwijlhet

AANVULLENDE
VEILIGHEIDSWAARSCHUWINGEN VOOR
LASERLICHT
Het laserlicht / de laserstraling die wordt
gebruikt in dit product is van klasse 2, met
maximaal 1 mW en 650 nm golflengte. Deze
lasers vormen normaalgesproken geen
optisch gevaar, hoewel het kijken naar de
straal plotseling opkomende blindheid kan
veroorzaken.
Kijk niet rechtstreeks naar de laserstraal. Het
kan gevaarlijk zijn als u opzettelijk in de straal
kijkt. Neem alle hierna volgende veiligheidsregels
in acht:
•Delasermoetwordengebruikten
onderhouden in overeenstemming met de
instructies van de fabrikant.
•Richtdestraalnooitopeenpersoonofopeen

worden gericht.
•Zorgeraltijdvoordatdelaserstraalgericht
wordt op een stevig werkstuk zonder
reflecterende oppervlakken. Hout of ruwe
oppervlakken zijn bijvoorbeeld geschikt.
Helder glanzend, reflecterend plaatstaal of iets
dergelijks is niet geschikt voor het gebruik van
laser, omdat het reflecterende oppervlak de
straal terug kan richten naar degene die het
gereedschap bedient.
•Vervangdelaserlichtconstructienietdooreen
ander type. Reparaties mogen alleen worden
uitgevoerd door de laserfabrikant of een
bevoegde tussenpersoon.
Het gebruik van bedieningsinrichtingen of
het doen van aanpassingen of het uitvoeren
van procedures anders dan de hierin
gespecificeerde, kan leiden tot blootstelling aan
gevaarlijke straling.
Raadpleeg de relevante Europese standaard
EN60825-1 : 1994 + A2: 2001 + A1 : 2002 voor
meer informatie betreffende lasers.
AANVULLENDE
VEILIGHEIDSWAARSCHUWINGEN VOOR
CIRKELZAGEN
•Houduwhandenwegvanhetzaaggebieden
het zaagblad. Houd uw tweede hand op de
hulphendel of op de motorbehuizing. Als beide
handen de zaag vasthouden, kunnen ze niet
door het zaagblad geraakt worden.
•Reiknooitonderhetwerkstuk.Dezaagkap
kan u niet beschermen tegen het zaagblad
onder het werkstuk.
•Pasdezaagdiepteaanbijdediktevanhet
werkstuk. Er dient minder dan een volledige
tand van de zaagbladtanden zichtbaar te zijn
onder het werkstuk.
•Houdhetdeeldatgezaagdwordtnooitvastin
uw handen of over uw been. Zet het werkstuk
vast op een stabiel platform. Het is belangrijk
het werk goed te ondersteunen zodat de kans
op blootstelling van het lichaam, het vastslaan
van het zaagblad of verlies van controle over
het apparaat geminimaliseerd wordt.
•Pakhetelektrischegereedschapvastbijde
geïsoleerde greepoppervlakken wanneer
u werkzaamheden uitvoert waarbij het
zaagapparaat in contact kan komen met
verborgen bedrading of met het eigen snoer.
Contact met een draad onder stroom zet
ook de blootliggende metalen delen van
het elektrische gereedschap onder stroom,
wat leidt tot een schok voor degene die het
apparaat bedient.
•Wanneeruschulpt,moetualtijdeen
langsgeleider met rechte rand gebruiken
of een zaagbank. Dit zorgt voor een
nauwkeuriger zaagrand en vermindert de kans
dat het zaagblad vastslaat.
•Gebruikaltijdzaagbladenvanhetjuiste
formaat en de juiste vorm (diamant vs. rond)
spilgaten. Zaagbladen die niet passen bij de
onderdelen van de zaag lopen excentrisch,
waardoor u de controle over het zagen
verliest.
•Gebruiknooitbeschadigdeofnietpassende
sluitringen of bouten voor het zaagblad.
De sluitringen en bout werden speciaal
ontworpen voor uw zaag, voor de beste
prestaties en een veilige bediening.
