 Switch on the laser generator (1) from the laser aperture using the laser generator switch
(2).
 Align the beam with the mark on the work-piece and slowly push the saw forward using
both hands, keeping the red light beam on the mark.
 Switch off the laser beam when completion of the cut.
9.4 Line following
A V-shaped pointer and pointer locate at the front and the rear position of the base plate (18)
which allow a line to be followed, when cutting. (Refer to Fig. 6)
9.5 Dust extraction
The circular saw is a powerful tool capable of producing a large amount of dust. As the tool
has a fully enclosed blade, forced dust extraction is particularly efficient. Forced dust
extraction should be used for all but small trimming jobs.
 Push the dust extraction hose (b) on to the dust extraction nozzle (17).
 Connect a vacuum device approved for the extraction of sawdust and splinters to the dust
extraction hose (b).
10 CUTTING
WARNING! Before using the machine, need to check the function of tiltable
protective cover (12) can be used properly.
WARNING: Always cut in a forward direction. Never draw the tool
backwards. If you are a novice user, practice by cutting thin wood until
proficient.
 Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the material to be cut.
 Fit the correct blade ensuring it is sharp and not damaged.
 Set the depth of cut. (See
“Setting the cutting depth” section)
 Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench, table or floor. Use a
piece of scrap material underneath if:
 You do not wish to damage the work surface.
 The work surface is likely to damage the blade. E.g. a concrete floor.
 Plug into mains supply.
 Grasp the tool firmly (See
“Holding & switching ON/OFF” section) and rest its metal
base plate onto the surface to be cut. Ensure that the rear half of the base plate
overhangs the work surface. Do not plunge the blade into the material.
 Switch on the tool and wait for a moment for the blade to run up to speed. Next, depress
the safety lock button (3) and plunge the blade into the material slowly and gently, but
firmly. Then push the tool forwards along the line to be cut. If necessary, switch on the
laser generator (1).
 NOTE: Never draw the tool backwards.
 Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. Excess force will cause
operator fatigue and excessive wear to the blade and tool. Excess force is also likely to
cause the temperature cut-out to trip, resulting in delays.
 Ensure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is particularly
important at the start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the base plate is
not fully supported.
 Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If a
lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to
clear from within the tool.
