Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
Certain kinds of dust are classied as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when connectable
Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
Only use a saw table provided with a switch that prevents
restarting of the motor after interruption of voltage

ACCESSORIES
SKIL can assure awless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• Useonlysawbladeswithaminimumdiameterof
170 mm, a maximum diameter of 170 mm and a
spindle hole of 16 mm
Never use saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS)
Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
BEFORE USE
Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the
cutting path before you start cutting
Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear
ear protection
Never use the tool without the original protection guard
system
Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces
Do not work overhead with the tool
In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical
malfunction, immediately switch o the tool and
disconnect the plug
If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
When you put away the tool, switch o the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
After switching o your circular saw, never stop the rotation
of the saw blade by a lateral force applied against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
If for any reason the old plug is cut o the cord of this tool,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
Mounting saw blade 3
! disconnect the plug
- take hex key A from storage B
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
remove blade bolt D with hex key
! push spindle-lock button C only when tool is at a
standstill
- release spindle-lock button C
- remove ange E
- open lower guard F with lever G and hold it while you
mount saw blade with saw teeth and arrow printed on
saw blade pointing in same direction as arrow on
upper guard
- release lower guard F
- mount ange E
! make sure that clamping surfaces H of flanges
are perfectly clean and face the blade
- push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you
tighten blade bolt with hex key 1/8 turn past nger tight
(ensures slippage of saw blade when it encounters
excessive resistance thus reducing motor overload
and saw kickback)
- release spindle-lock button C
Adjusting cutting depth (0-55 mm) 4
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
- loosen knob J
- raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator L
- tighten knob J
Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 5
- loosen knob M
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale using
indicator N
- tighten knob M
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
90° Cutting angle check 5
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 4
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, loosen knob M and use
adjustment screw P as illustrated
Adjustable saw line visor Q 6a
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the
workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the indicator
line concerned
