Overview
You have purchased a 2300 watt heavy duty circular saw with the REDEYE® laser line generator.

The blade cuts on an upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or edges of your work piece. When cutting, ensure that your uppermost surface is a
By loosening the bevel adjustment lever (8), the body and the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 45° for making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.
A fixed guard (15) encloses the upper part of the blade. As the saw advances through the work piece, the pivoting lower blade guard (13) is pushed back by the edge of the wood to expose only that part of the blade which
is needed. When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded lower blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the blade.
Adjusting the cutting depth
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments.
1.Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.
2.Loosen the depth locking lever (18).
3.Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the work piece and lift the body of
the saw until the blade is at the right depth. Use the depth of cut indicator (19) to determine the cutting depth.
4.Tighten the depth locking lever (18).
