How to use

Before use, fit a suitable circular saw blade and check that it is secure. Adjust the cutting depth to slightly greater than the material thickness and set the angle if bevel cutting is required. Hold the tool firmly with both hands where possible, align the shoe with the cutting line, switch the saw on and move steadily through the material at a controlled speed. When cutting long workpieces, support the material to maintain stability and avoid pinching the blade. After finishing, switch off, wait for the blade to stop completely and store the tool in its L-BOXX case.

Recommendations

Use batteries and chargers recommended by the manufacturer and select blades appropriate for the material. Wear eye, hearing and hand protection when operating the saw. For improved dust control, connect a compatible extraction device or use the machine in conjunction with suitable worksite ventilation. Allow the tool to cool during extended use and inspect the blade regularly for wear or damage.
