Although I do a reasonable amount of diy I was a bit anxious about using a circular saw. All the cautionary comments about safety made me wonder if I should buy. But it turned out to be ideal for my purposes. I followed all the safety and use advice and found it straightforward to use with its own inbuilt safety settings. Its relatively light as well which is useful for female diyers.

This is a nice little circular saw. Very nimble, without the clumsiness of a trailing power cable. Unlike my previous saws, this one has the motor on the 'outboard' (right hand side) of the tool. Used conventionally, with the waste wood to the right of the direction of cut, this has the advantage of giving uncluttered clearance for clamps and the fence on the left hand side. However, it does mean the exact cutting line is affected by the kerf of the blade. I replaced the supplied 16T blade with 1.5mm kerf with a 40T blade, with 1.6mm kerf. This moves the line of the cut 0.1mm inboard from the cut line marked on the tool. In practice, this probably isn't going to be much of an issue, as users will mostly be using a fence of some kind and they can experiment to find the exact allowance when marking out. Battery life (with 4.0AH batteries) seems very good and the tool is well balanced.

It’s light and safer.Been using my workmates’ in the past but now got my own.I have been using a Makita 110 V 190mm blade for years but too much hassle with the tranny and having the cable over your shoulder when cutting.This tool does the job intended.Don’t know how it would be on planks or the brushless version.Good for sheet materials
