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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may
be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit
interrupterl (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB)".
3) Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
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 let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
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.
Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating instructions and
safety regulations with due care. Keep this manual in
a safe place, so that the information is available at all
times. If you give the equipment to any other person,
hand over these operating instructions and safety
regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for
damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to
follow these instructions and the safety instructions.
1. SAFETY REGULATIONS
Warning!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
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.
Unmodied 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.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
2. CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARN-
INGS
a. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
g. 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.
h. 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.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL SAWS
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.
a. Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position
your arm to resist kickback forces. Position
your body to either side of the blade, but not in
line with the blade. Position the hand not
holding the saw well away from the travel path
of the saw. kickback could cause the saw to jump
4
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, If proper precautions are taken.
b. 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.
c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-
ened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
f. Blade depth level must be tight and secure
before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts
while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE
CUT CIRCULAR SAWS
a. Check 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.
NOTE: Alternate wording may be substituted for
"retracting handle".
b. Check the operation of the guard spring. If the
lower 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.
c. 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.
NOTE: Alternate wording may be substituted for
"retracting handle".
d. Always observe that the lower 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can
cause breathing difculty and possible injury.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter
than recommended. For the proper blade rating
refer to the technical data. Use only the blades
specied in this manual, complying with standard
EN 847-1.
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels. Residual risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
Impairment of hearing.
Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of
the rotating cutting disc.
Risk of injury when changing the disc.
Risk of dust inhalation from materials that when
cut, can be harmful.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the mains cable becomes damaged, it must be
replaced with a special mains cable available from the
manufacturer or the manufacturer’s customer service.
Dispose of old cables or plugs immediately after
replacing them with new ones. It is dangerous to
connect the plug of a loose cable to a socket.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm
2
. When using a cable reel always
unwind the reel completely.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRA-
SIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a. The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b. Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off
wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
c. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and y apart.
d. Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f. Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
g. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
h. The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and anges with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
i. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no
load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
j. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of ltrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
k. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken wheel may y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
l. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a“live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
m. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning wheel.
n. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
o. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
p. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
q. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
r. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERA-
TIONS
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point
of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c. Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the whee’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d. Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e. Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
f. Do not “jam”the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
3. SYMBOLS
To reduce risk of injury, user must read
instruction manual before using the tool.
Warning
Double insulation
Wear eye protection
Wear ear protection
Wear dust mask
Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authority or retailer
for recycling advice.
g. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is
in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
h. Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
i. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
j. Blade denth and bevel adjusting Iocking levers
must be tight and secure hefore making cut. If
hlade adiustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback
k. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

c. Tighten the angle locking knob.
NOTE: The location of the blade cut-line will change
depending on the bevel angle that is being used. The
blade cut-line location when cutting at 0 degrees or45
degrees is marked with a notch on the front of the
base plate.
The base plate must always be held rmly against the
material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping, or blade breakage.
6) Dust collecting (See Fig.I)
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.To prevent personal injuries,make sure to
connect a suitable vacuum cleaner to the dust
extraction port by means of the dust collecting system
adaptor.

7. WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
TOOL
If your power tool becomes too hot, please run your
mini circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. Avoid prolonged usage under strenuous
cutting loads. Protect saw blades against impact and
shock. Excessive feed signicantly reduces the
performance capability of the machine and reduces
the service life of the saw blade. Sawing performance
and cutting quality depend essentially on the condition
and the tooth count of the saw blade. Therefore, use
only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material
to be worked.
Choice of blades: 24 teeth for general work, approx. 40
teeth for ner cuts, more than 40 teeth for very ne
cuts into delicate surfaces, diamond for tile, cement
board,etc.
8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically
and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility. Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water
or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Periodically clear dust and chips from guard and base
to ensure proper performance.
9. STORING
Store the machine, operating instructions and where
necessary the accessories in the original packaging.
In this way you will always have all the information and
parts ready to hand.
Pack the device well or use the original packaging in
order to avoid transit damage.
Always keep the machine in dry place
