ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND LOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
This machine is equipped with a load indicator light that will
inform the operator of load conditions. Whenever the switch is
turned on and load conditons are normal, the indicator light will
be a solid green color. See fig. 9
If load is approaching overload conditions, the indicator light will
flash red. If the operator continues to run the machine in
overload conditions for a sustained period of time, the electronic
overload protection unit will shut the machine off. The higher the
level of overload, the more quickly the machine will shut down.
When this happens, always remove the machine from the
workpiece and run the machine at no load for a few minutes to
allow the motor to cool before continuing to avoid burning out the motor.
HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this powerful saw requires
two-handed
operation for maximum protection.
Do not use this tool continuously over 30 minutes. Support the work properly and to hold the saw firmly
WITH
BOTH HANDS
to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Always hold the side handle with
the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand for proper hand support of the saw. Protect your eyes
from injury with safety glasses or goggles. Do not use cutting fluids or lubricants on the blade.
Sawing
The machine must reach full speed before cutting begins and should only be switched off once cutting has
finished. Only operate the saw away from you (pushing the circular saw forwards) and never towards you
(pulling the circular saw backwards). If you saw towards yourself, there is the danger that the circular saw
might be accelerated out of the cutting groove (recoil) and cause serious injury.
The lower blade guard should open automatically when it hits the edge of the workpiece. If it doesn't open
automatically, give it a little help at the beginning of the cut by pushing the kicker lever with the thumb of the
left hand. This will open the lower blade guard by about 20 degrees.
Sawing sections:
•
Make sure the cutting depth is set as desired
•
Place the front part of the saw bench on the workpiece.
•
Switch the machine on.
•
Push the machine in the direction of cut. Take care that the saw base remains firmly on the workpiece.
•
Switch the machine off and allow the lower blade guard to close completely when cutting is completed.
