Mini CiRCulaR Saw with laSeR
holding the "U" spanner stationary. Remove the
screw (17) and the blade clamping washer (18). (see
fig.B)
3) Clean the saw blade and all the clamping parts to
be assembled. Place the saw blade onto the inner
flange. assemble the blade clamping washer (18) and
the spindle clamping screw (17). Use the two spanner
to tighten the spindle clamping screw thoroughly.
(see fig. C)
note: Remove both allen keys when the saw blade is
tightly attached.
waRninG: When mounting, ensure that the
cutting direction of the teeth (direction of arrow on
saw blade) and the direction-of-rotation arrow on the
blade guard match.
note: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
blade clamping washer to engage with the flat side of
the spindle.
the table below gives you advice on how to
choose correct blade.
Blade type Cutting material
TCT 24T Wood and aluminum
hss 44T Thin sheet steel and aluminum,
PVC pipe, plastic
diamond Concrete, marble, tile
Recommended maximum material thickness
Wood 1-1/16˝ (27 mm)
aluminum 1/8˝ (3 mm)
PVC pipe (radius) 1/2˝ (13 mm)
Tile 5/16˝ (8 mm)
sheet steel 1/32˝ (0.91 mm)(20 gauge)
2. PaRallel GuiDe (See Fig. D)
The parallel guide is used for making cuts parallel to a
work-piece edge at a chosen distance. slide the parallel
guide (19) arm through the fixture to achieve the required
cutting distance and tighten the clamping screw to
lock into position. do not over tighten. it can be used
from both sides of the base plate (9). The parallel guide
enables exact cuts along a workpiece edge and can also
be used for cutting parallel strips.
3. SawDuSt ReMoval (See FiG. e)
your saw includes a vacuum adapter (20) that attaches
to the dust extraction outlet (7) on the saw. This
adapter port can be attached to a vacuum cleaner
(sold separately). The use of the vacuum is strongly
recommended as it keeps the work area clean,
dramatically increases cut visibility and reduces airborne
dust. it also keeps dust out of the working elements of
the guard.
note: if using the saw without a vacuum attached,
in some circumstances after lengthy operation, dust
can accumulate at the rear of the base and prevent it
reaching full depth, occasionally shaking the dust out can
prevent this.
4. non-SCRatCh BaSe CoveR (See FiG. F1, F2)
your saw includes a non-scratch base cover (21). attach
it to your saw's base when you are cutting work pieces
that have delicate surfaces (finishes) such as vinyls,
plastics, fiberglass, laminate flooring and tiles that could
easily be scratched by the steel base.

1. tRiGGeR SwitCh (See FiG. G)
your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
Pull lock off switch (6) then on/off switch (1) and release
lock off switch (6). your switch is now on. To switch off,
just release the on/off switch.
note: When the machine is not used, the lock off switch
is resting against guard to lock out the plunge function
and prevent the blade from being exposed.
2. BlaDe DePth
Correct cutting depth choice can improve ease of cutting
and cut quality.
always use the minimum cut depth which will just cut
through the material plus a small allowance e.g. 1/8" (3
mm).
Excessive cutting depth increases splintering in wood,
chipping in tile and causes severe chatter in sheet steel
and aluminum (which can quickly blunt the blade).
Maximum depth can be used when cutting internal cut-
outs in wood as this reduces the overcutting required.
3. Set the BlaDe DePth
1) determine the desired depth of cut.
2) Unlock the depth of cut adjustment and lock lever (8).
(see fig. h1)
3) slide the depth of cut indicator to the desired depth
of cut. Lock down the depth of cut adjustment and
lock lever (8). (see fig. h2)
