Application
The circular saw is an all-purpose saw for cutting soft and

materials.
Safety instructions and accident prevention
Before starting up the machine, read the operating instruc-
tions all the way through, follow the safety instructions in
this manual and the general safety instructions for power
tools in the enclosed booklet.
Important!
Before starting up the circular saw, the blade and gap
rudder (12) must be installed. See the appropriate no-
tes in the operating instructions!
The gap rudder (12) is a safety device for recoil. It is
therefore very important that it is installed (see also
item 10 of the safety notes below)!
Installing the blade
Caution! The machine must not be connected to the
mains! Pull out the mains plug or remove the mains ca-
ble from the handle!
Proceed as follows: Move the motor of the circular saw –
as described Setting the cutting depth – to its highest
position (min. cutting depth) by releasing the clamp lever
(7) and then resecure the clamp lever (7). Pull the swing
guard (11) back and hold it there. Then assemble the indi-
vidual parts on the drive spindle of the circular saw in the
following order:
1. Flange (20)
2. Blade (18)
3. Washer (21)
4. Thrust washer (22)
5. Socket head cap bolt M 8 x 18 (23)
When inserting the blade, make sure that the direction
of the arrow on the blade corresponds to the arrow on
the housing. The bearing surfaces of the blade, flange,
and washer must be clean. Press and hold down the pin
for spindle lock (19) and if necessary rotate the blade until
the lock snaps into place. Tighten the cylinder bolt with
hex head socket (23) with the hex key (13) with the pin (19)
pressed down.
To replace the blade carry out the same procedure, but in
the reverse order. Install the new blade as described.
Installing the gap rudder
It is very important to install this recoil safety device!
Leave the motor of the circular saw in the same position
(min. cutting depth) as was required for installing the blade.
Secure the gap rudder (12) using the socket head bolt (16)
and any suitable underlay washer. At first only tighten the
socket head bolt (16) lightly. Adjust the gap rudder (12) so
that the distance to the tips of the saw teeth and to the
lowest point of the blade is max. 5 mm (see Figure). The
distance to the toothed rim of the blade must not exceed
5 mm. Fully tighten socket head bolt (16). The circular saw
is now ready for operation.
Double insulation
Our equipment is designed in accordance with class II
EN 50144 (VDE 0740, DIN 66069, VBG 7j) for the utmost
safety of the user. Machines with double insulation always
carry the international symbol. A two-cord cable is
therefore sufficient.
The unit is interference-suppressed in accordance with
EN 55014.
General recommendations and safety practices (please
read these before using your new power saw):
1. Cracked or distorted blades may not be used. Work
only with good sharp blades!
2. Never use high-alloy HSS blades with this circular
saw.
3. Saw blades which are not in accordance with the
specifications stated in these operating instructions
may not be used.
4. Saw blades may not be braked by a sideways ap-
plied counter-pressure after the drive has been
switched off.
5. Check that all moving parts of the blade guard func-
tion without pinching.
6. The swing guard may not be locked in the open po-
sition.
7. It should be ensured that all devices, which cover
the blade, are functioning properly.
8. Before changing the blade and before all servicing,
the plug should be removed from the socket or the
mains cable should be removed from the grip.
9. Only use blades whose hub thickness is not greater
than and whose tooth offset width is not less than
the width of the gap rudder.
10. The gap rudder must not be removed from the de-
vice! It should always be in place – except when
making insertion cuts.
11. Guide the saw in a straight line without any rocking
motion so that the blade does not get jammed in
the work.
12. Should the blade get jammed, release switch imme-
diately!
13. Never reach under the tool! Risk of injury!
14. Note the instructions in the operation manual.
Remove key from the device after use!
