Important!
The vibration value changes according to the area of
application of the electric tool and may exceed the
specified value in exceptional circumstances.
Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a
minimum.
Only use appliances which are in perfect working
order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
Do not overload the appliance.
Have the appliance serviced whenever
necessary.
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
Wear protective gloves.
5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Setting the cutting depth (Figure 2/3)
앬 Release the handle on the rear of the guard hood
for adjusting the cutting depth (4).
앬 Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of the
workpiece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until
the saw blade (12) is at the required cutting depth
(a).
앬 Refasten the handle for adjusting the cutting
depth (4). Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.2 Miter stop (Figure 4/5)
앬 The preset standard angle between the saw foot
(6) and saw blade (12) is 90°. You can adjust this
angle to carry out angled cuts.
앬 Release the locking lever for miter setting (7) on
the front of the saw foot.
앬 You can now adjust the cutting angle to around
45°. Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale (9) as
you do so.
앬 Refasten the locking lever for miter setting (7).
Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.3 Extraction of dust and chips (Figure 6)
앬 Connect a suitable vacuum cleaner (a) to the
provided chip extractor connector (14) of your
circular saw (vacuum cleaner not included). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect
both the equipment and your own health. Your
work area will also be cleaner and safer.
앬 Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
앬 Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the
workpiece material.
앬 Check that all the parts are properly connected.
5.4 Parallel stop (Figure 7/8)
앬 The parallel stop (16) enables you to saw parallel
lines.
앬 Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8)
on the saw foot (6).
앬 To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the
guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 7)
앬 Set the required spacing and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
앬 Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
(16) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start
the cut.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood
6. Operation
6.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw
앬 Always hold the circular saw firmly.
앬 The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
앬 Do not use force!
Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular
saw.
앬 The waste piece should be on the right-hand side
of the circular saw so that the wide section of the
support bench supports its full area.
앬 If you are sawing down a line that has been
drawn, guide the circular saw along the
corresponding notch.
앬 Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing them. Never hold them with your hand.
앬 Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
