Power tools that are no longer usable should not be disposed of
with household waste but in an environmentally friendly way. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority
for recycling advice.
Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials.
Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in the environment.
Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your
local council authority for recycling advice.
• Keep the vents of the saw clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign matter
from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the saw housing and guard, to ensure it is
free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may
cause the saw to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the saw requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the saw; never immerse any part
of the saw into a liquid.
• The grease in the gearbox will require replenishment after extensive use of the
saw. Please see a power tool repairer to provide this service.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the saw will
spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as
this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the saw. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the saw therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the saw
when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause
permanent damage to the saw. Carbon brushes
will wear out after many uses. When the carbon brushes need to be replaced,
take the saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling
of the saw.
Circular Saw Tips
Always hold the soft grip handle with one hand and the front handle with the other.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the on/off switch with a positive action.
Never force the saw. Use light and continuous pressure.
Allow the saw to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting, depress the lock-off button and
squeeze the on/off switch and allow the blade to reach full speed, re-enter the cut
slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibres of the wood have a tendency to tear and
lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut
blade or mitre blade is recommended.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the saw failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be
replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified
electrician or power tool repairer.
