USE
●Always remove battery from tool before making
any adjustment or changing any accessory, in
order to reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally
●Charging battery 4
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- plug charger into power source
- light A will turn on
- insert battery correctly into charger, so that it
makes contact and is not hindered by foreign
objects
- light A will blink indicating that the battery is
receiving a charge (4a)
- after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully
charged and light A stays on after blinking, at
which time the charger automatically switches to
maintenance-charging (4b)
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the
service life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- if light A does not blink after inserting a battery
(4b), this may mean:
1) that the battery is too cold or too hot (charger
only charges batteries when its temperature is
between 0°C and 45°C); the charger then
automatically switches to maintenance-
charging, until a temperature between 0°C and
45°C is reached, at which time the charger will
automatically switch to normal charging
2) that the battery should be replaced
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does
not indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is
clean and dry before inserting into charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
- when you charge the battery for the first time, it
only accepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after
several charges and discharges, however, the
batteries should be at full capacity and deliver
maximum performance
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery efficiency
- the nickel-cadmium battery must be kept separate
from the natural environment and should not be
disposed of as normal domestic waste (symbol 5
will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the
tool, it is best to unplug the charger from its power
source
●Changing saw blade 6
- take hex key B from storage C1
- push spindle-lock button D1 and hold it
while you remove blade bolt E clockwise with
hex key
! push spindle-lock button D only when tool is
at a standstill
- release spindle-lock button D
- remove flange F
- open lower guard G1by using lever H1and
hold it while you change saw blade with saw teeth
and arrow printed on saw blade pointing in same
direction as arrow on lower guard
- release lower guard G
- mount flange F
! make sure that clamping surfaces J of flanges
are perfectly clean and face the blade
- push spindle-lock button D and hold it while you
tighten blade bolt counter-clockwise with hex
key 1/8 turn past finger tight (ensures slippage of
saw blade when it encounters excessive
resistance thus reducing motor overload and saw
kickback)
- release spindle-lock button D
●Kerf guide K7
- protects saw blade from getting jammed in the
workpiece
- needs readjustment when min./max. space is
affected or upon changing of saw blade
Readjusting kerf guide 7
- loosen knob L1
- hold tool at handle M and push foot N completely
downwards
- tighten knob L1
- loosen bolt O with hex key B
- adjust kerfguide K
- tighten bolt O
●Adjusting cutting depth 8
Cutting depth can be adjusted between 0 and 41 mm
- loosen knob L
- hold tool at handle M and raise the saw from, or
lower it to foot N:
raise ™smaller cutting depths
lower ™larger cutting depths
- set desired cutting depth on scale using top of
indicator P
- tighten knob L
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
●Adjusting cutting angle 9
Cutting angle can be adjusted between 0°and 50°
- loosen knob Q
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale
using top of indicator R
- tighten knob Q
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
●90°Cutting angle check 9
- adjust and tighten foot to maximum cutting depth
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for 90°angle between the blade and
bottom of foot with a square
9
XP SKIL 2975.3 06-06-2003 12:55 Pagina 9
●Line-of-cut indicator S10
- 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
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported version of the workpiece
- can be adjusted to allow you to choose whether
waste material is on inner or outer side of blade
Adjusting line-of-cut indicator
- loosen screw T so that line-of-cut indicator moves
freely
- set a ruler flat on the preferred side of the blade
- align edge of desired indicator line with ruler
- tighten screw T
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line
of cut
●Dust suction
For optimal dust pick-up performance
- open dust door by removing plug U7
! do not allow fingers to enter the dust door
- mount vacuum cleaner or dustbag
(SKIL accessory 2610387402)
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere
with the lower guard or the cutting operation
●Holding and guiding the tool 1
! ensure that before using the battery is
securely positioned in the tool
- always hold handle M firmly with one hand and
handle V firmly with the other hand
- keep the air vent openings clean and uncovered
- place tool with front end of foot flat on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the workpiece
- switch on tool by first pressing knob W (= safety
switch which cannot be locked) with your thumb
and then pulling trigger X
! the tool should run at full speed before the
blade enters into the workpiece
- lower guard G opens automatically when saw
blade enters the workpiece (open lower guard
manually by using lever H only for special cuts
such as plunge cuts)
- do not force the tool; apply light and continuous
pressure
! do not load the tool so heavily that it comes to
a standstill
- after completing the cut switch off tool by
releasing trigger X
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
APPLICATION ADVICE
●Always remove battery from tool before making
any adjustment or changing any accessory, in
order to reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally
●Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
●Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type !
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times
longer than ordinary blades
●Circular saws are primarily developed for cutting
wood; we therefore strongly advise against using
cut-off wheels in combination with circular saws
●Rip fence Y@
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting rip fence
- loosen knob Z
- adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence
scale (use line-of-cut indicator S1as 0-
reference)
- tighten knob Z
●Plunge cutting #
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator lined up
with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard G with lever H
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool
and gradually lower back end of tool using front
end of foot as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
as soon as kerfguide touches the workpiece
- when foot rests flat on workpiece, release lever H
! never pull tool backwards
●Cutting large panels $
- support panel close to the cut either on floor, table
or workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through
panel and not through support
- in case rip fence does not allow desired width of
cut, clamp or nail straight piece of wood to
workpiece as a guide, and use the right side of
the foot against this guide
MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
●Keep tool and charger clean (some household
cleaning products and solvents can damage plastic
parts; these products include among others benzine,
trichloroethelene, chloride, amonium)
- the charger may be cleaned most effectively with
compressed air (wear safety goggles)
- clean charging contacts in charger with alcohol or
contact cleaner
! unplug charger from power source before
cleaning
●Clean saw blade immediately after use (especially
from resin and glue)
●Protect saw blades from shocks and impacts
●Protect uncoated saw blades from corrosion with a
thin coat of acid-free oil (remove oil again before use
to prevent spotting of wood)
●Excessive sparking mostly indicates worn-out carbon
brushes
●In case of an electrical or mechanical defect, hand in
tool or charger at one of the officially registered SKIL
Service Stations for repair (addresses are listed on
the service diagram supplied with the tool)
