GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: When using electric tools,
basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock and personal injury.
Please read all of these instructions before
attempting to operate this machine. Save this
manual for future reference.
1. Keep work area clear. Cluttered work
areas invite accidents.

5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry locked-up place,
out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small
tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Do not use tools for purposes not intended;
for example do not use circular saws to cut
tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery, they can be caught
in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is
recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
9. Use protective equipment. Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if working
operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the tool is provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection equipment,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
11. Do not abuse the cord. Never yank
the cord to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Secure work. Where possible, use
clamps or a vice to hold the work. It’s much
safer than using your hand.
13. Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if
damaged, have them repaired by an
authorised service facility. Inspect extension
cord periodically and replace immediately if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools. When not in use,
before any servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters,
disconnect tool from the power source
16. Remove adjusting keys and
spanners. Form the habit of checking to
see the keys and adjusting spanners are
removed from the tool before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure
switch is in “off” position when plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads. When
the tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use and so
marked.
19. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing,
use common sense and do not operate the
tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts. Before further
use of tool, it should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform the intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, mountings
and any other components that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced
by an authorised service centre. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn it on and

21. WARNING. The use of any accessory or
attachment other than one recommended in
this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualied
person. This electric tool complies with
relevant safety rules. Repairs should only
be carried out by qualied persons using
original spare parts. Otherwise this may
result in considerable danger to the user.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing
or grinding, dust particles will be produced.
In some instances, depending on the
materials you are working with, this dust can
be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from
old gloss paint).You are advised to consider
the risks associated with the materials you
are working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure.
5
You should:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to lter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
YOUR PURE 18V CIRCULAR SAW
1. Do not expose to rain or water.
2. Do not drop, shake or strike the battery.
3. Wear hearing protection when
necessary. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
4. Cutting blades can become very hot.
Take care when changing or handling
blades.
3. Recharge the battery only with the
charger specied by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re when
used with another battery pack.
4. Use this power tool only with specially
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
5. When the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
6. Under extreme conditions electrolyte
may be leak from the battery. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush your skin with
water. If electrolyte contacts your eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Electrolyte
from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an
operation where the blade may contact
hidden wiring. If the blade contacts a
‘live’ wire, exposed metal parts of the
power tool could become ‘live’ and give the
operator an electric shock.
8. If possible, use clamps or a vice to
hold your work.
9. When cutting into walls, oors or
similar areas, make sure, as far as
possible, that there are no services
(gas or water pipes, electric cables etc)
in the path of the blade. Striking hidden
services could cause injury to the user and
damage to the property.
10. Always disconnect the saw battery
before changing the blade. Never use
damaged or distorted blades.
11. Always allow the saw to come to a
complete halt before putting it down.
A running tool may bounce uncontrollably if
the blade tip contacts any surface.
12. Always consider the work environment
and wear the appropriate personal
protection equipment. This could include
dust masks, eye protection, safety footwear
etc. Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn on and off.

• Check that the safety guard is operating
correctly, and that all adjustment levers/
knobs are tightened securely.
• Check that the blade is secure and installed
correctly. Also check that it is the correct
blade for the material being cut.
• Always clamp the work piece on a rigid
support such as a bench or saw horses
where possible.
• Do not force the tool – let the speed
of the saw blade do the work. Cutting
performance will not improve by applying
more pressure on the tool, and blade life
will be reduced.

• When starting a cut, sight the cutting line
with the line of cut guide, taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly,
so as not to damage its teeth. Gently move
the saw forward through the work piece.
• When a cut has been completed release
the ON/OFF Trigger Switch and allow the
blade to come to a complete halt. Do not
stop the blade by applying lateral pressure
on the disc.
MAKING A CUT
1. With the machine switched OFF, offer
the saw up to the workpiece, using the line
of sight guides to position the saw blade
accurately. The Laser Guide can also be
switched if the material to be cut is non-
reective. The lower blade guard should not
be touching the workpiece.
2. When satised that the saw is correctly
positioned, switch the saw ON and allow the
blade to reach its full operational speed.
3. Gently feed the saw into the workpiece,
allowing the lower blade guard to retract
automatically.
4. Push the saw gently through the workpiece
using the machines two (2) handles.
5. When the cut is completed, release the
Trigger Switch.
6. Allow the blade to come to a complete
halt, before removing the machine from the
workpiece or taking ones hand from the
machine. The lower blade guard will deploy
automatically to the covered position as the
