Overview

You have purchased a 1300W Magnesium Multi Function

Circular Saw that can cut both ferrous and non ferrous metals

quickly, cleanly and efficiently, as well as PVC pipe and soft

and hard timbers - all with the same blade. It can even saw

through wood containing nails!
The finished cut is burr free and there are virtually no sparks.
The saw utilises cold cutting technology and thus requires

no coolant. The metal can be handled as soon as it is cut,

saving time and adding to the safety of operation.
By loosening the bevel adjustment lever (6), the body and

the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 45° for

making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of

cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.
A fixed upper blade guard (17) encloses the upper part of

the blade. As the saw advances through the work piece, the

pivoting lower blade guard (15) is pushed back by the edge of

the wood to expose only that part of the blade which is needed.

When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded lower

blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the blade.

Adjusting the cutting depth

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making any

adjustments.
1. Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.
2. Loosen the depth locking lever (19) (Fig. A).

3. Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the work

piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at the

right depth (Fig. B). Use the depth of cut indicator (20) to

determine the cutting depth.

4. Tighten the depth locking lever (19).

Note.

Always use the correct blade depth setting.

The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be

more than (6.35mm) 1/4” below the material being cut.

Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback

and result in a rough cut.

Note.

The maximum depth of cut for mild steel plate is 6mm.

Adjusting the bevel angle

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making

any adjustments.
1. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between

0° and 45°.

2. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (6) located at the front

of the base plate (Fig. C).

3. Tilt the body of the

saw until the required angle

is reached (Fig. D) using the

bevel scale (7) as a guide.

4. Tighten the bevel adjustment

lever (6) to secure the base

plate (Fig. E).

Note.

Always make a trial cut in

a scrap piece of material along a

guideline to determine how much you should offset

the blade from the guideline to make an accurate cut.
