Laser Radiation - Skil 5766 Instructions Manual

• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• Never use the tool without the original protection guard
system
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
wear ear protection
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced
by a qualifi ed person
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as
the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to
a 220V supply)
• This tool is not suitable for wet cutting
• After switching off your circular saw, never stop the
rotation of the saw blade by a lateral force applied
against it
• Never use circular saw blades made of high speed steel
(HSS)
• Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Take protective measures when during work
dust can develop that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered
carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/
chip extraction when connectable
• Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath
the cutting path before you start cutting
• Do not work overhead with the tool
• Only use a saw table provided with a switch that
prevents restarting of the motor after interruption of
voltage
• Only use a saw table provided with a kerf guide
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory

LASER RADIATION

• Do not look into the laser beam (laser radiation) 3
• Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals
• Do not use any magnifying optical tools (such as
magnifying glasses, telescopes, or binoculars) to view
the laser beam
• Do not remove or damage the warning label on the tool
• Do not operate the tool in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust
• Do not operate the tool with children around
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of
this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
• Changing saw blade 4
- take blade wrench A from storage B
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
remove blade bolt D with blade wrench
! push spindle-lock button C only when tool is at a
standstill
- release spindle-lock button C
- remove fl ange E
- open lower guard F by using lever G and hold it while
you change saw blade with saw teeth and arrow
printed on saw blade pointing in same direction as
arrow on lower guard
- release lower guard F
- mount fl ange E
! make sure that clamping surfaces H of flanges
are perfectly clean and face the blade
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
tighten blade bolt with blade wrench 1/8 turn past
fi nger tight (ensures slippage of saw blade when it
encounters excessive resistance thus reducing motor
overload and saw kickback)
- release spindle-lock button C
• Adjusting cutting depth (0-66 mm) 6
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
- loosen lever J
- raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator L
- tighten lever J
• Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 7
- loosen knob M
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale
using indicator N
- tighten knob M
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
• 90° Cutting angle check 7
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 6
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, tilt and tighten foot to 45°
and bend tab P with an adjustable wrench
• Dual laser line Q 8
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on
the workpiece
- allows you to choose whether waste material is on
inner or outer side of blade
- automatically functions when operating safety switch
V 5
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not bywidth of blade body
• Checking and adjusting of dual laser line 9
- before starting a job, check the alignment of the dual
laser line with the actual line of cut by making a trial
cut on a piece of waste material
! for checking and adjusting the dual laser line
you have to plug the tool into a power source;
keep hands away from the saw blade and avoid
accidental activation of trigger W
- if adjustment is needed, use adjustment screw R as
illustrated 0
