Working Hints For Your Circular Saw; Making A Cut - ALDI FERREX 704518 User Manual

1200W Circular Saw

Working hints for your circular saw

If your saw becomes too hot, run your circular saw no load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut.
The quality of cut will improve as the number of blade teeth increases.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Support large panels close to the cut line.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade
cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or edges of
your work piece. When cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non-
visible surface when your work is finished. Feeding too fast significantly
reduces the performance of the machine and shortens the life of the
saw blade. Always face the good side of the work-piece down, to ensure
minimum splintering. Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type.

Making a cut

1. Mark the line of cut on your work piece.
2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required per previous
instructions.
3. When making 90° cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut with the outer
blade guide notch on the base plate (7) of the saw (Fig. H).
4. When making 45° bevel cuts, align your line of cut with the inner blade
guide notch on the base plate (7) of the saw (Fig. H).
5. Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece (Fig. I).
6. Start the motor by depressing the lock off button (13) and squeezing the
on/off trigger (12).
NOTE: Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2 seconds)
before you begin to cut into the work piece.
7. Slowly push the circular saw forward using both hands (Fig. J).
8. When making a cut always use steady, even pressure. Forcing the circular
saw causes rough cuts and could shorten the life of the circular saw or cause
kickback. Allow the blade and the circular saw to do the work.
9. After completing your cut, release the on/off trigger (12) and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
