Ɣ
Slide the other guide bar onto protruding part of the connecting rod.
Ɣ
Slide the guide bars together.
Ɣ
Turn the guide bars over and align the connecting rod ( 25 ) when necessary, next tighten the pressing
screws ( 26 ) ( fig. I ).
Fixing clamp ( 24 ) can be used to attach guide bars to processed material ( fig. G ).
Ɣ
Slide the fixing clamp ( 24 ) into the fixing groove ( 19 ).
Ɣ
Set the bar position on the processed material and position of the fixing clamp.
Ɣ
Tighten the fixing clamp ( 24 ) to avoid moving of the guide bar.
Ɣ
For stable position of the guide bar, fix it with two fixing clamps ( 24 ) on two opposite sides of the bar
and processed material.
To guide the mini circular saw along the guide bar ( 18 ) ( fig. E ) slide the saw base edge ( 9 ) into the guiding
groove ( 20 ) ( fig. F ) in the guide bar. There are two ways to do this:
Ɣ
Slide the mini circular saw from the end of the guide bar.
Ɣ
You can also slide the mini circular saw from the side into the guide bar. To do so, tilt the mini circular saw
to the right and then press it on the guide bar.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
Check condition of cutting blade before use of the power tool. Do not use blades and discs with
dents, cracks or other damages. Immediately replace blade or disc that is worn out or damaged.
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
Power indicator ( 3 ) is located in the back and upper part of the power tool casing, its illumination means
that the power tool is connected to mains power supply.
Hold the power tool with one hand when starting up and during operation. Keep your other hand in
safe distance from the tool.
The power tool is equipped with the switch that protects against accidental
starting.
Ɣ
Move the lever switch ( 1 ) to the front.
Ɣ
Press the switch button ( 2 ).
Ɣ
Release pressure on the switch button ( 2 ) to stop the power tool.
Wait a while after starting the power tool until the cutting blade or disc reaches its top speed, only
then you can proceed with your work. When working, do not use the switch of the power tool to
switch it on or off. You can operate the switch only when the cutting blade or disc has no contact with
processed material.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Cutting depth gauge ( 5 ) indicates cutting depth on the cutting depth scale ( 6 ).
Ɣ Loosen the clamp of the cutting depth gauge ( 5 ).
Ɣ
Set cutting depth on the scale ( 6 ).
Ɣ
Tighten the clamp of the cutting depth gauge ( 5 ).
To obtain the best possible cut quality, allow the cutting blade to plunge approx. 3 mm below bottom
surface of the material. When setting cutting depth for material of known thickness, add 3 mm correction.
In addition to setting value on the scale, it is always recommended to make a test cut or check how the
blade goes into the material without switching on the power tool.
CUTTING
Cutting line is defined by cutting line indicators ( 11 ) and ( 12 ) ( fig. A ).
Before making a cut, put the front part of the saw base (9) flat against the material.
