IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.

2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
This product is equipped with a GFCI. ALWAYS use this device whenever using the machine to reduce
the risk of shock. ALWAYS position the GFCI as close as possible to the power source. Test and reset the
device before each use. Press the “TEST” button to test. Press the RESET button to energize the circuit
to the machine.
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 nger on the switch or
energising 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 with these 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
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 workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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 could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
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.
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 sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands. NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your body under
the tool base or behind the saw, especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback occurs, the saw could
easily jump backwards over your hand, leading to serious personal injury.
NEVER force the saw. Push the saw forward at a speed so that the blade cuts without slowing. Forcing the
saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and possible kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
Check 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.
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 build-up of debris.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAVE THESE WARNINGS
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.
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.
To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand, then release and watch guard closure. Also check to see
that retracting handle does not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS and can
lead to serious personal injury.
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber, or wood containing knots. Maintain
smooth advancement of tool without decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
DO NOT attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut
material. Blades coast after turn off.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the
section that will fall off when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY
TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the blade has
come to a complete stop.
NEVER attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and
can lead to serious accidents.
Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin
contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
DO NOT stop the blades by lateral pressure on the saw blade.
DO NOT use any abrasive wheels.
Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is marked on the tool or specied in the manual. Use of an
incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper guarding of the blade or guard operation which could result in
serious personal injury.
Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential
for kickback. Keep blade clean by rst removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover,
hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline.

ASSEMBLY
The machine is equipped with two handles and a blade guard. The motor has overload and overheat
protection. It has an integrated water feed system as required for diamond cutting and has a portable
residual current device (PRCD) for electrical safety. It is used primarily with diamond blades, but abrasive
wheels may also be used with this machine. It is intended for cutting masonry, stone, concrete, reinforced
concrete and similar materials. All other uses are prohibited.
DESCRIPTION
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
Loosen the wing bolt on the depth guide and move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure
the base by tightening the wing bolt. In the case that you adjust the cutting depth to the maximum one,
ALWAYS be sure to do the adjustment after adjustment of the wheel gaurd.
SECURING THE WHEEL GUARD
CAUTION: The wheel guard must be adjusted on the tool so that the closed side of the guard always points
toward the operator. The wheel guard can be adjusted about 80 degrees, after you loosen the clamping nut.
Adjust to the desired angle, then secure the clamping nut.
SWITCH ACTION
CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, ALWAYS check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the OFF position when released.
CAUTION: Switch can be locked in ON position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking the tool in the ON position and maintain a rm grasp on the tool. To start the tool,
simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch
trigger, push in the lock lever and then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the locked position,
pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
DO NOT pull the switch trigger hard without pressing the lock lever. This can cause switch breakage. To
prevent the switch trigger from accidentally being pulled, a lock lever is provided. To start the tool, push in
the lock lever and then pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
There is a removable brush at the rear of the guard to help contain sparks, dust, debris and slurry. To install
simply push the brush into the slot in the bottom of the dust port bracket until it clicks into place. This brush
may be pulled straight out to replace when worn.
BLADE GUARD BRUSH
the spring-loaded splash guard is useful to help contain slurry which splashes toward the back. To install,
simply clip into place on the back of the dust port bracket. To remove, tilt upward to pop free. If the splash
guard is not needed, such as when cutting dry, it may be clipped up out of the way. Simply engage the male
clip on the ap with the female clip on the mount. Unclip to release.
SPLASH GUARD
Water is a basic requirement for diamond sawing with wet-type diamond blades. The water serves as a
coolant to avoid the working surface of the diamond segments from overheating. When the diamond bit
becomes overheated, both the bond matrix and even the diamonds break down, thus destroying the blade.
Beside cooling, water also keeps down dust and ushes away abrasive particles.
WATER CONNECTION
WARNING: ALWAYS use the GFCI when operating with water. NEVER allow water to enter the motor. It
can lead to electric shock.
WARNING: The maximum water pressure should not exceed 70PSI (4bar).

Use a water collector with a wet vacuum to collect cooling water if nearby objects could be damaged by water.
The water feed system is built into the machine. To connect with the water supply, rst pull the quick-release
collar to remove the female side of the water coupling. Then unscrew the nut and engage the coupling
to the water hose. Now reconnect the water coupling to the male water feed valve. Press it until it clicks.
The water ow is controlled by the water feed valve. The water to the blade may be nely adjusted to the
required amount and no more.
NOTE: Contaminants in the water supply can easily plug up the ne
water nozzles in the blade guard. Ensure that the supply water is clean.
If you nd that there is no water ow to the blade, then clean out the
water feed system on the machine.
The guide rollers make it easier to keep the blade plane perpendicular
to the workpiece. To install, slacken the buttery bolt slightly and engage
the four claws with the four eyelets on the bottom of the motor housing,
then tighten the buttery bolt. Note that roller assembly is offset to
one side to avoid contacting the blade, so it may only be installed in
one orientation. If it is not needed, the guide roller assembly may be
removed and set aside.
GUIDE ROLLER ASSEMBLY
FLUSH CUTTING KIT INSTRUCTIONS (OPTIONAL)
The ush cutting kit enables a ush cut blade (not included) to be
mounted to the machine which allows ush cuts to be made while
the outer blade guard is temporarily removed. The ush cut blade
may be left in place and the operator may return to standard cutting
simply by replacing the outer blade guard and securing with the
4 toggle latches. In this way, it is quick and convenient to switch
between standard and ush cutting mode. Or if desired, the ush
cutting blade and ange may be removed and the machine returned
to the standard conguration.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION, OVERHEAT PROTECTION
When full load is reached, the load warning lamp will ash red. lf full
load is exceeded and sustained for too long, the motor will shut down
and the load warning lamp will glow solid red. In this case, the motor
must be rst shut off and then restarted. When this happens, the motor
will very likely be near overheating, so it is also a good idea to run the
motor at no load for a few minutes to cool it before continuing.
OVERHEAT THERMAL PROTECTION
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down. The switch
must be rst shut off and then restarted. When this happens, do not immediately start cutting after restarting
the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature
before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated. Always cool the motor
by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or overload.

ASSEMBLY and OPERATION
CONNECTING TO VACUUM CLEANER
When you wish to perform cleaner operation, connect a vacuum
cleaner to your tool. Connect a hose of vacuum cleaner to the
dust nozzle via an elbow joint (accessory).
INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE WHEEL
To remove the wheel, depress the shaft lock to hold the shaft stationary, then loosen the
hex bolt clockwise with the socket wrench. To install a wheel, place ange with its partly
elevated side facing the tool, and then place ring before installing a wheel onto the spindle
(shaft) and another ange with partly elevated side facing outward. Be sure to fully tighten the hex bolt
counterclockwise after mounting the new wheel, or operation will be dangerous.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Be sure to pull the tool when cutting a workpiece.
• This tool should only be used on horizontal surfaces.
• Use this tool for straight line cutting only. Cutting curves can cause stress cracks or fragmentation of the
diamond wheel and abrasive cut-off wheel resulting in possible injury to persons in the vicinity.
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before
putting the tool down.
• When cutting concrete blocks, tiles or masonry materials, do not make a cut in depth more than
60 mm (2-3/B”). When you need to cut a workpiece over 60 mm (2-3/8”) up to 100 mm (4”), make more than
two passes of cuts. The depth of the most efcient cut is about 40 mm (1-9/16”).
Hold the tool rmly with both hands. First keep the wheel
without making any contact with a workpiece to be cut. Then
turn the tool on and wait until the wheel attains full speed.
The cut is made by pulling the tool toward you (not
by pushing away from you). Align the notch on the
base with your cutting line when performing a cut.
Switch off the tool on the position posed when nishing a
cut. Raise the tool after the wheel comes to a complete stop.

CAUTION: ALWAYS be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance. NEVER use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration,
deformation or cracks may result.
INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE WHEEL
If the cutting action of the diamond wheel begins to diminish, use an old discarded coarse grit bench grinder
wheel or concrete block to dress the diamond wheel. To do this, tightly secure the bench grinder wheel or
concrete block and cut in it.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the
worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush
holder caps. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Factory Service Centers, always using FACTORY
replacement parts.
