Starting Operation
f
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To
start
the machine,
first
push the lock-off but-
ton for the On/Off switch
2
and
then
press the
On/Off switch
1
and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine,
release
the On/Off
switch
1
.
Note:
For safety reasons, the On/Off switch
1
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
Working Advice
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in
the cutting direction. Excessive feed significant-
ly reduces the service life of the saw blade and
can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend
essentially on the condition and the tooth form
of the saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw
blades that are suited for the material to be
worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends
on the type and quality of the wood and whether
lengthway or crossway cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral
chips are formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental
to health. Therefore, work only with dust extrac-
tion.
Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)
The parallel guide
10
enables exact cuts along a
workpiece edge and cutting strips of the same
dimension.
Loosen wing bolt
7
and slide the scale of the
parallel guide
10
through the guide in the base
plate
12
. Adjust the desired cutting width as the
scale setting at the respective cutting mark
9
or
8
; see Section “Cutting Marks”. Tighten wing
bolt
7
again.
Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)
For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a
board or strip can clamped to the workpiece as
an auxiliary guide; the base plate of the circular
saw can be guided alongside the auxiliary guide.
Sawing with Guide Rail (see figure F–G)
The guide rail
28
is used to carry out straight
cuts.
The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail
from slipping and protects the surface of the
workpiece. The coating of the guide rail allows
the circular saw to glide easily.
The rubber lip on the guide rail acts as a splinter
guard that prevents fraying or tearing out of the
surface when sawing wooden materials. For
this, the teeth of the saw blade must face direct-
ly against the rubber lip.
The guide-rail adapter
27
is required for working
with the guide rail
28
. The guide-rail adapter
27
is mounted in the same manner as the parallel
guide
10
.
The following work steps are required for exact
cuts using the guide rail
28
:
– Place the guide rail
28
on to the workpiece
projecting lightly over the side. Pay attention
that the side with the rubber lip faces to the
workpiece.
– Set the circular saw with the premounted
guide-rail adapter
27
on to the guide rail
28
.
