General Safety Rules  
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use  
the cord for carrying, pulling or  
unplugging the power tool. Keep  
cord away from heat, oil, sharp  
edges or moving parts. Damaged or  
entangled cords increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
d) When operating a power tool  
outdoors, use an extension cord  
suitable for outdoor use.Use of a  
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces  
the risk of electric shock.  
Warning! Read all instructions. Failure  
to follow all instructions listed below may  
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious  
injury. The term “power tool” in all of the  
warnings listed below refers to your mains  
operated (corded) power tool or battery  
operated (cordless) power tool.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
1) Work area  
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.  
Cluttered and dark areas invite  
accidents.  
3) Personal safety  
b) Do not operate power tools in  
explosive atmospheres, such as in  
the presence of flammable liquids,  
gases or dust. Power tools create  
sparks which may ignite the dust  
perfumes.  
c) Keep children and bystanders  
away while operating a power tool.  
Distractions can cause you to lose  
control.  
a) Stay alert, watch what you are  
doing and use common sense when  
operating a power tool. Do not use a  
power tool while you are tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol  
or medication. A moment of  
inattention while operating power  
tools may result in serious personal  
injury.  
b) Use safety equipment.  
Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask,  
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or  
hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce  
personal injuries.  
c) Avoid accidental starting.  
Ensure the switch is in the off  
position before plugging in.  
Carrying power tools with your finger  
on the switch or plugging in power  
tools that have the switch on invites  
accidents.  
d) Remove any adjusting key or  
wrench before turning the power tool  
on. A wrench or a key left attached to  
a rotating part of the power tool may  
result in personal injury.  
2) Electrical safety  
a) Power tool plugs must match the  
outlet. Never modify the plug in any  
way. Do not use any adapter plugs  
with earthed (grounded) power  
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching  
outlets will reduce risk of electric  
shock.  
b) Avoid body contact with earthed  
or grounded surfaces such as pipes,  
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.  
There is an increased risk of electric  
shock if your body is earthed or  
grounded.  
c) Do not expose power tools to rain  
or wet conditions. Water entering a  
power tool will increase the risk of

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times. This  
enables better control of the power  
tool in unexpected situations.  
f) Press properly. Do not wear loose  
clothing or jewellery.  
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves  
away from moving parts. Loose  
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
g) If devices are provided for the  
connection of dust extraction and  
collection facilities, ensure these  
are connected and properly used.  
Use of these devices can reduce dust  
related hazards.  
for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts  
and any other condition that may  
affect the power tools operation.  
If damaged, have the power tool  
repaired before use. Many accidents  
are caused by poorly maintained  
power tools.  
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and  
clean. Properly maintained cutting  
tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to  
control.  
g) Use the power tool, accessories  
and tool bits etc., in accordance  
with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular  
type.  
4) Power tool use and care  
a) Do not force the power tool.  
Use the correct power tool for your  
application. The correct power tool  
will do the job better and safer at the  
rate for which it was designed.  
b) Do not use the power tool if the  
switch does not turn it on and off.  
Any power tool that cannot be  
controlled with the switch is

Additional Safety Instructions  
Depth of Cut  
Scale  
For Circular Saw  
Warning! The use of any accessory or  
attachment, other than recommended in  
this instruction manual, may present a risk  
of personal injury.  
Depth of Cut  
Lever  
Warning! Your saw is designed for  
use with wood cutting blades with a max  
operating speed above 4800 RPM.  
Warning! Do Not use blades with a  
Max operating speed below this speed.  
A scale referring to the depth of cut is provided  
as a guide. It is located between the top guard  
and the rear handle.  
Do not use saw blades which are deformed  
or cracked.  
Do not use saw blades made from High  
Speed Steel.  
Note, the scale is a guide only and where an  
accurate depth of cut is required, the actual  
depth of cut should be measured with a rule.  
Do not use saw blades which do not  
comply with the characteristics specified  
within this manual.  
After the desired setting is achieved, lock the  
depth of cut adjustment by pushing the depth  
of cut locking lever downwards.  
Do not stop the saw with lateral pressure on  
the blade.  
Where the saw blade is required to cut fully  
through the work piece, the blade should be  
set to a depth of cut 3 - 5 mm greater than the  
work piece.  
Do not lock the moveable guard in the open  
position.  
Ensure the moveable guard operates freely  
without jamming.  
Always ensure the retraction mechanism of  
the guard operates correctly prior to using  
the saw each time.  
Fitting and Adjusting the Parallel  
Fence  
Your CS718 Circular Saw includes a parallel  
fence. This assists in the sawing of a straight  
line, parallel to the edge of the work piece.  
Always remove the plug of the saw from  
the mains supply before making any  
adjustments or maintenance to the saw.  
To fit and adjust the parallel fence proceed as  
follows:  
Preparing Your Saw  
Remove the plug of the saw from the  
electricity supply.  
Setting the Depth of Cut.  
Remove the plug of the saw from the electricity  
supply.  
Loosen the parallel locking screw at the front of  
the saw shoe.  
Unlock the depth of cut lock adjustment by  
lifting the depth of cut locking lever.  
Slide the parallel fence into the slot under the  
locking screw.  
The depth of cut can now be adjusted by lifting  
the rear section of the saw body.  
Slide the parallel fence towards the cutting  
blade until the desired measurement is

obtained between the tooth of the cutting blade  
and the inner edge of the parallel fence.  
To Remove the Blade  
Outer Flange  
To ensure the correct setting, always make a  
test cut on a scrap piece of timber to ensure  
the parallel fence has been correctly set to the  
measurement you require.

Fully remove the outer flange and the saw  
blade.  
Your circular saw can cut angles up to 45 Deg.  
To adjust the angle of your circular saw  
proceed as follows:  
Remove the plug of the saw from the electricity  
supply.  
To Fit the Blade  
Ensure the inner flange is fitted to the saw and  
is free of any sawdust/dirt etc.  
Unlock the bevel adjustment by turning the  
lock lever clockwise. Move the saw around  
the bevel scale until the desired angle is  
indicated. Tighten the bevel lock by rotating  
anti-clockwise. To ensure the correct setting,  
always make a test cut on a scrap piece of  
timber. Make any fine adjustments to the angle  
if necessary.  
With the lower guard fully retracted fit the blade  
ensuring the arrow on the blade is in the same  
direction as the arrow on the saw cover.  
Ensure the blade is sitting flat on the inner  
flange.  
Fit the outer flange ensuring the flange is clean.  
Fit the blade locking screw and washer and  
engage the spindle lock. Tighten the locking  
screw by rotating with the hex spanner in a  
clockwise direction.  
Changing the Blade  
Before fitting any blade to the circular saw  
ensure the max safe working speed of the  
blade is above 4800RPM.  
Replacement Blades

Operating the Circular Saw  
The above diagram shows proper sawing  
position. Note that the hands are kept away  
from the cutting area.  
On/Off  
Trigger  
Warning! It is important to support the  
work properly and to hold the saw firmly to  
prevent loss of control which could cause  
personal injury.  
Lock off  
button  
To operate the circular saw, ensure the plug is  
connected to a standard electrical outlet with  
the switch turned on.  
Place the work with the good side, the one on  
which appearance is most important – down.  
The saw cuts upward, so any splintering will  
be on the work face that is up when you saw it.  
To turn the saw “On”, depress the small lock  
off button on the side of the handle and then  
squeeze the On/Off trigger .  
To stop the saw, release the trigger switch.

It is important when operating the circular saw  
that the operator is always in complete control.  
A. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off  
piece will cause pinching of the blade.  
The saw is fitted with two handles, one at  
the rear and one at the front. It is always  
recommended to use both handles when using  
the saw.  
B. Cutting through material supported at the  
outer ends only. As the material weakens  
it sags, closing the kerf and pinching the  
blade.  
The front handle is positioned to guide the saw  
along the path to be cut.

C. Cutting off a cantilevered overhanging piece C. Pressure treated timber (material treated

with preservatives or anti-rot chemicals).  
Use of Dull or Dirty Blades  
Dull blades cause increased loading of the  
saw. To compensate, an operator will usually  
push harder which further loads the unit and  
promotes the twisting of the blade in the kerf.  
Worn blades may also have insufficient body  
clearance which increases the chance of  
binding and increased loading.  
D. Cutting off long narrow strips (as in  
ripping). The cut off strip can sag or twist  
closing the kerf and pinching the blade.  
E. Snagging the lower guard on a surface  
below the material being cut can  
momentarily reduce operator control.  
The saw can lift partially out of the cut  
increasing the chance of blade twist.  
To minimise the splintering:  
Improper Depth of Cut Setting on the Saw Do not force the saw.  
Using the saw with an excessive depth of cut  
setting increases loading on the unit and sus-  
ceptibility to twisting of the blade in the kerf.  
It also increases the surface area of the blade  
available for pinching under conditions of kerf  
close down.  
Cut from the opposite side if possible.  
Clamp a thin piece of scrap over the top of the  
material to be cut. Cut through both the scrap  
and the original work piece.  
Do not overload the saw. Allow the saw to run  
at close to full speed during operation. Do not  
force the saw into the work piece. The tool will  
cut better when the saw is running at close to  
full speed.  
Blade Twisting  
(Misalignment in Cut)  
In the event where the saw has been used in a  
heavy application, or if the saw appears to be  
hot, run the saw for two minutes unloaded to  
allow the motor to cool. Always ensure the air  
intake vents are clear.  
A. Pushing harder to cut through a knot, a nail  
or a hard grain area can cause the blade to  
twist.  
B. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to  
get back on the marked line) can cause  
blade twist.  
Kick Back  
C. Extended reach or operating saw with poor  
control (operator off balance), can result in  
twisting the blade.  
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly  
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls  
and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly  
backwards towards the operator.  
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned  
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the  
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood  
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and  
jump backwards towards the operator.  
Using dull blades or improperly supported  
work will increase the tendency for kickback.  
D. Changing hand grip or body position while  
cutting can result in blade twist.  
E. Backing unit up to clear blade can lead to  
twist if not done carefully.  
Materials that Require Extra Attention  
A. Wet timber.  
B. Green timber (material freshly cut or not kiln  
dried).

timber require special attention during cutting  
operation to prevent kickback.  
cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to  
the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a  
full stop before removing it form the cut. Never  
pull the saw backward since the blade will  
climb out of the cut and kick back will occur.  
Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a  
normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw  
or a handsaw to finish the cut in the corners, if  
required.  
Line Guide  
The right side of the notch in the front of the  
shoe is the guide for straight 90 degree cuts.  
The left side of the notch is for 45 degree  
bevel cuts. The cutting guide notch gives an  
approximate line of cut since different blade  
types and thickness alter the line cut. Always  
make sample cuts in scrap timber to obtain the  
actual line cut. To minimize splintering, cut the  
good side down.  
Maintenance  
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated  
for life and need no further maintenance.  
2. The brushes are designed to give you  
several years of use. If they ever need  
replacement return the tool to the nearest  
service centre for repair.  
General Cuts  
When starting a cut always hold the saw  
handle with one and and the front handle with  
the other. Never force the saw but maintain a  
light and continuous pressure.  
Important  
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,  
repairs, maintenance and adjustment including  
brush inspection and replacement) should be  
performed by authorised service centres or  
other qualified service organisations, always  
using identical replacement parts.  
After completing the cut, allow the saw to  
come to a complete stop. When cutting is  
interrupted, resume cutting by allowing the  
blade to reach full speed and then re-entering  
the cut slowly.  
When cutting across the grain, the fibres of  
the wood have a tendency to lift and tear.  
Moving the saw slowly minimises this effect.
