8.8 Adjusting the scale on the saw table (Fig. 28;
34)
n
Ensure that the parallel stop (7) is in line with the
saw blade (5) (also see Point 9.5).
n
Set the parallel stop so that it touches the saw
blade (5) (setting for thick material, also see Point
9.4).
n
Undo the screw (q) holding the scale (j; k) to the
chain bar (12) by approximately 2 turns.
n
Set the scale (j/k) so that the line in the inspection
window (I) of the parallel stop (7) aligns with the
zero line of the scale (j).
n
Retighten the screw (q).
8.9 Using the laser (Fig. 35-38)
n
The laser (34) enables you to make precision
cuts with your circular saw.
n
The laser light is generated by a laser diode
powered by two batteries. The laser light is
enlarged to form a line and is emitted through the
laser emission aperture. You can then use the
line as an optical marker for the sawing line for
precision cuts. Follow the laser safety
instructions.
n
Inserting the batteries:
- Remove the saw blade guard (2) (see 8.3). The
laser is mounted on the splitter (4) and now easily
accessible.
- Set the Laser ON/OFF switch (35) to position 0
(laser off).
- Remove the battery compartment cover (37) by
undoing the screws (36) and turning the mounting
plates attached to the screw so that they no
longer block the battery compartment cover (37).
Now flip up the battery compartment cover (37).
- Insert the batteries, ensuring that you fit them
the right way round (see Figure 37).
- Replace the battery compartment cover (37)
and secure it with the screws (36).
n
Mount the safety hood (2) for the blade again.
n
Switching the laser on: Set the Laser ON/OFF
switch (35) to I. When the saw blade guard (2) is
mounted you can easily access the Laser ON/Off
switch (35) through an opening provided in the
saw blade guard. A red laser beam will now be
projected from the laser emission aperture. If you
guide the laser beam along the sawing line mark
as you saw, you will produce clean, precise cuts.
n
Switching the laser off: Set the Laser ON/OFF
switch (35) to 0. The laser beam will go out.
Always switch off the laser when not in use in
order to save the batteries.
n
The laser beam can be blocked by deposits of
dust and chips. You should therefore remove
these particles from the laser emission aperture
each time after you use the laser (equipment off).
n
Notes on batteries: If you do not intend to use the
laser for a lengthy period of time, remove the
batteries from the battery compartment. Any
leakage of battery fluid might damage the tool.
n
Do not place the batteries on heaters or expose
them to direct sunshine for long periods;
temperatures in excess of 50°C may damage the
tool.
8.10 Adjusting the laser (Fig. 35)
If the laser (34) ceases to indicate the correct cutting
line, you can readjust the laser. To do so, open the
screws (z) and set the laser by moving sideways to
that the laser beam strikes the teeth of the saw blade
(5).
9. Functions
Important!!
n
After every new adjustment we recommend you
to make a trial cut in order to check the new
settings.
n
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
n
Take extra care when starting the cut!
n
Never use the equipment without the suction
function.
n
Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
9.1 Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 39)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when
you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel
stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The blade guard (2) must always be lowered over the
workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt a
working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
n
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width. (See
9.4.)
n
Switch on the saw.
n
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
workpiece and push the workpiece along the
parallel stop (7) and into the blade (5).
n
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel stop)
only as far as the front edge of the saw blade
guard (2).
n
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (4).
n
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until
the blade (5) is back in its position of rest.
