Loosen the flange bolt (2 pcs.) used to clamp the
riving knife, adjust the riving knife so that the distance
between the riving knife and the rim of the blade is not
more than 5 mm, and the rim of the blade does not
extend more than 5 mm beyond the lowest edge of the
riving knife (Fig. 3) and securely retighten the flange
bolt (2 pcs.).
3. Adjusting the angle of inclination
As shown in Fig. 4 (A), Fig. 4 (B) by loosening the lever
on the incline gauge and the wing-bolt on the base,
the saw blade may be inclined to a maximum angle of
45° in relation to the base. After having completed the
adjustment, reconfirm that the lever and the wing-bolt
are firmly tightened.
4. Regulating the guide
Loosen the clamp lever at the front and back of the base
and detach the guide rail adapter from the main unit.
(Fig. 5)
NOTE
Be informed that for some products the knob and
the guide rail adapter can collide when the guide rail
adapter is removed. Under such a circumstance,
remove the guide rail adapter after slightly reducing the
cutting depth of the body. (Fig. 6)
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the
guide to the left or right after loosening its clamp lever.
The guide may be mounted on either the right or left
side of the tool. (Fig. 7)
5. Fine tuning of parallelism
It is possible to fine-tune the parallelism of the saw
blade to the base using the parallelism adjustment
screw.
Adjustment has already been made at the time of
shipment from the factory. However, in the unlikely
event of parallelism being faulty, adjust as follows.
(1) Unfasten only the mounting screws of the saw cover
hinge portion (Fig. 8).
(2) Retract the lower guard into the saw cover.
(3) Insert wood chip in the rear side of the saw blade
base, and mark the position on the base (Fig. 9).
(4) Move the marked wood chip to the front of the base,
and turn the parallelism adjustment screw so that
the marking corresponds to the base side (Fig. 10).
(5) After adjustment, fasten the mounting screws tightly
in place.
NOTE
Parallelism may be slightly faulty if the cutting depth is
adjusted after parallelism adjustment.
6. Adjusting the guide piece
On the circular saw, it is possible to make fine
adjustment of the fixing position of the guide piece,
where the saw blade and the premarked line are to be
aligned.
When the saw is shipped from the factory, the linear
portion of a front scale on the guide piece is aligned
with the central position of the saw blade (Fig. 11).
Loosen the fixed M4 screw on the guide piece, should
the fixing position be wrong, and make necessary
adjustment of the position.
7. Using the guide rail
Pass the guide rail adapter through the base square
socket, and clamp the clamp lever at the position where
the guide rail adapter and the surface of the base side
come in contact. (Fig. 5)
NOTE
Be informed that for some products the knob and
the guide rail adapter can collide when the guide rail
adapter is installed. Under such a circumstance, install
the guide rail adapter after slightly reducing the cutting
depth of the body. (Fig. 6)
(1) Loosen the wing bolt. Adjust the position of the rail bar
according to the guide rail to be used, and fix it with the
wing bolt. (Fig. 13)
(2) Place the body on the guide rail so that the protrusion
of the guide rail can fit into the groove of the guide rail
adapter. (Fig. 14)
(3) Loosen the clamp lever, adjust the position of the saw
blade, and then clamp the clamp lever again.
(4) In this condition, you can start off cutting operation.
NOTE
○ When performing cutting operation using the guide
rail, remember that the cutting depth decreases as the
thickness of the guide rail increases.
○ This guide rail adapter can be used for the guide rails of
BOSCH, FESTO, and MAKITA.
○ When the guide rail is used at a 45 degree inclination,
the position of the saw blade does not agree with the
notch provided on the tip of the base.
8. Using the dust collector
To use the vacuum cleaner to gather up saw dust,
attach the suction hose to the dust collector which is
attached to the main unit by M4 screw. (Fig. 15)
9. Adjusting the position of the clamp lever
Depressing the clamp lever disengages it from the bolt
head, leaving it free to rotate.
After securely fixing the guide and the guide rail,
depress the clamp lever and rotate it to a position in
which it will not interfere with cutting operation. (Fig.
16)
CUTTING PROCEDURES
1. Place the base on the material, then align the premarked
line and the sawblade with the guide piece front scale
section at the front of the base (Fig. 11).
When the base is not slanted, use the large cutout as
the guide (Fig. 11, Fig. 12 (A)).
If the base is slanted (45 degrees), use the small front
scale as the guide (Fig. 11, Fig. 12 (B)).
2. Ensure that the switch is turned to the ON position
before the saw blade comes in contact with the lumber.
The switch is turned ON when the trigger is squeezed;
and OFF when the trigger is released.
3. Moving the saw straight at a constant speed will
produce optimum cutting.
CAUTION
Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material you are
going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to generate
harmful / toxic dusts, make sure the dust bag or appropriate
dust extraction system is connected with dust outlet tightly.
Wear the dust mask additionally, if available.
A coating of PFTE is applied to the bases. Be careful not to
press too hard on the unit body since this tends to place a
heavy load on the motor. Using a gentle pressure will make
the piece slide easier and allow cutting with less force. Trying
to cut wood that is covered with hard particle material such
as sand or metal chips tends to easily scratch damage the
surface coating so use caution.
○ Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade has
reached full speed revolution.
○ Should the saw blade be stopped or made an abnormal
noise during operation, turn off the switch immediately.
○ Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near the revolving saw blade.
○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing
upwards or sideways
uncommon applications should be avoided.
○ When cutting materials, always wear protective
glasses.
○ When finished with a job, pull out the plug from the
receptacle.
