rounding the work area. Do not use in environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere. KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area. STORE THE CIRCULAR SAW SAFELY WHEN NOT IN USE: the circular saw should be stored in a dry location and disconnected from the mains supply, and out of the reach of children. WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING: Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves up above the elbow. USE SAFETY CLOTHING / EQUIPMENT: Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times, normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. A face or dust mask should be worn if the operation is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) should be worn, particularly during extended periods of operation. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with the circular saw, avoid contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains socket. STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate the circular saw when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. DISCONNECT THE CIRCULAR SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as circular saw blade, etc. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the circular saw to the mains supply. NEVER LEAVE THE CIRCULAR SAW RUNNING / CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED: Turn the circular saw off and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave the circular saw until it comes to a complete stop. DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never attempt to move the circular saw by the mains lead or pull it to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the circular saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service agent. Do not use the circular saw if the switch does not turn the saw on and off.

KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE: And in full working order. MAINTAIN THE CIRCULAR SAW WITH CARE: Keep blades sharp and clean for the best

and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. All extension cables must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged. Always keep the vice hand-wheel grip/s on the circular saw clean, dry and free of oil and grease. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual, your distributor or SIP directly for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate any warranty you may have. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the circular saw before every use. SECURE THE WORK-PIECE: Always use the vice to hold the work-piece. This frees up both hands to operate the circular saw.

DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times. USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the circular saw to do a job for which it was not de-

signed. DO NOT FORCE THE CIRCULAR SAW: It will do the job better and more safely at the rate which it was designed. DO NOT OPERATE THE CIRCULAR SAW IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES: Do not use the circular saw in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, dust or other combustible sources. Circular sawing operations may create sparks which can ignite the dust or fumes. DO NOT EXPOSE THE CIRCULAR SAW TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET CONDITIONS: Water entering circular saw will greatly increase the risk of electric shock. HAVE YOUR CIRCULAR SAW REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user. DO NOT dismantle, tamper with or use the circular saw without all guards fitted as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Keep hands out of the path of the circular saw blade, never reach around circular saw blade. Make sure the circular saw blade is clear of the work-piece before the handle trigger is pressed in. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal. Wait for the circular saw blade to stop completely and remove the plug from mains supply before servicing or adjusting the circular saw or changing the blade. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Circular saw blades can be extremely unforgiving.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont

Use of improper accessories may cause damage to the circular saw and surrounding area as well as increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the circular saw to do tasks other than those intended. When sawing always use the vice to hold the material; To avoid injury, the workpiece should never be held with the bare hands. Secure the stand to the circular saw before using the circular saw. If the work is heavy or large and likely to cause the circular saw to tip over, use additional supports as appropriate under and around the material. Remove all tools from the machine base after adjustment is made. Appropriate personal protective equipment MUST be worn and MUST be designed to protect against all hazards created. Severe permanent injury can result from using inappropriate or insufficient protective equipment - Eyes in particular are at risk. Do not overload the blade. Allow the blade to operate at its optimum speed for maximum efficiency. Always ensure that the accessories such as blades are rated / designed for use with this circular saw as well as the required application, and are correctly and securely fastened before connecting the circular saw to the mains supply. The work must be clamped firmly whilst sawing, If its loose it could result in personal injury or damage to the blade/machine. Using the correct tpi blade for cutting the material will make your job easier, and the blade last longer, using the wrong tpi blade will make a rough cut and will decrease the life of the blade.

Keep hands away from the blade.

Never use this circular saw with the blade guard or electrical box cover removed. Round bar and tubing can have a tendency to roll whilst being cut and can cause the blade to slip, DO NOT cut such items without clamping the material with the vice. Never have the blade touching the material before you press the handle trigger, this is dangerous and will make the blade bounce or even shatter, any damage will not be covered by warranty. Do not start the circular saw until the material is secure and the blade has been lowered to just above the material. Never use damaged or deformed circular saw blades, this is extremely dangerous and if the blade shatters pieces will fly out, and could injury you or any one in the vicinity.

If the circular saw is used in a place of work all rules and laws etc. relating to the use of portable electrical appliances should be followed.

Page 8

When using the circular saw for certain operations, particularly during extended periods; ensure the operator as well as those in the area wear ear protection.

When using the circular saw always ensure the operator as well as those in the area wear eye protection.

Some materials have the potential to be highly toxic; always wear a face mask when operating circular saw.

CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician.

Connecting to the power supply:

This SIP circular saw requires 400v 50hz supply. Before using the circular saw, inspect the mains lead and plug (where applicable) to ensure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the circular saw inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would be preferable.

The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:

Yellow / green Earth Black Phase Black Phase Black Phase

Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.

Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always replace the fuse with the same value as the original.

Page 10

This SIP circular saw is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty covering failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the circular saw outside the scope of this manual - any claims deemed to be outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not limited to parts, labour and carriage costs.

This guarantee does not cover consumables such as oil & blades etc.

In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.

Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honoured.

LUBRICATING THE CIRCULAR SAW

The pivots of the saw head must be greased at least every three months, on the rear of the machine. There are two grease nipples (A), apply grease to these points.

The vice shaft, guide shafts and machine base guide must be oiled regularly, this will make the vice move more smoothly and easier to adjust.

Vice shaft

Guide shaft

Machine base guide

Note: Before oiling the shafts and guides, make sure they are cleared of

any debris or swarf.

Page 13

CHANGING THE INLINE FILTER

Note: Its best to change the filter at least once a year, or sooner if used more often in a working environment. SIP replacement filter code WK03-00095

Remove

Inline filter

The filter is located at the rear of the machine between the coolant pump and coolant tap. Pull the two coolant pipes off either side of the filter. Push the two coolant pipes back onto the new filter.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

Note: Never run the machine without the machine base filter fitted, without it fitted

swarf will get into the coolant system and clog the coolant pump, this will stop the coolant circulating and cooling the blade, if a coolant pump is found with swarf inside of it then this will void any warranty you may have.

Over the course of the day the machine will get clogged with swarf and could possibly stop the coolant from running back into the coolant tray. Its best to get into a routine at the end of each working day, or more if its used more frequently to clean any swarf from the machine base casting, filter and vice jaws. Use a soft brush (paint brush or similar) to remove the swarf from the machine at the end of each working day, NEVER use compressed air to remove the swarf.

Machine base filter

Note: Never use compressed air to blow away the swarf, this is dangerous and

could lead to eye damage if safety glasses are not worn, always use a soft brush (paint brush or similar) to remove the swarf at the end of each working day.

Caution: The blade bolt is a left handed thread, meaning to undo it you must turn the bolt clockwise, failing to do this will strip the threads on the blade shaft and will void your warranty.

Slide both movable guards (C) out of the way. Remove the blade bolt (D) by turning it clockwise to undo it, a soft mallet may be required just to loosen the bolt as it will be tight, but do not hit it too hard. Once the blade bolt is out, remove the blade flange then the blade.
