4. PREPARING THE CIRCULAR SAW
Warning! Ensure that when you perform the following work the machine is not connected to the mains
power supply.
Depth of Cut Adjustment
Release the locking lever (18) of the depth of cut adjustment on the back section of the saw. Hold the shoe of the
saw (7) tightly and pull up the motor section (13) by handle (2). The depth of cut is determined by the scale (15).
Fix the setting in place by operating the locking lever again (18). The depth of cut should be 3 mm longer than the
thickness of the work piece.
Adjusting the Parallel Stop
Your circular saw has a parallel stop (8). This makes it possible to saw a straight line parallel to the edge of the
work piece. On the front section of the shoe of the saw (7) there are recesses into which the parallel stop (8) can
be inserted sideways. Push the stop (8) in until you have reached the desired distance to the saw blade. Fix the
setting in place with the locking screw (6).

With the Circular Saw you can bevel up to 45° Remove the mains plug from the socket. Loosen the locking screw
(14) on the front end and rear end of the shoe (7). Place the Circular Saw at the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Fix the setting in place with the locking screw (14).
