8.0 Using the saw
8.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 1)
The saw can be switched on by pressing the
green pushbutton Å.
The red pushbutton Ä has to be pressed to
switch off the saw.
8.2 Parallel stop
8.2.1 Stop height (Fig. 7/8)
The parallel stop (7) supplied with the bench-
type circular saw has two different guide faces.
For thick material you must use the stop rail (25)
as shown in Fig. 7, for thin material you must use
the stop rail as shown in Fig. 8.
To change the height of the stop, slacken the two
knurled screws (16) and pull the stop rail off the
carrier rail.
Turn the stop rail (25) 90° to the left or the right,
depending on the required height of the stop,
and plug in back on the carrier rail (26).
Re-tighten the knurled screws (16).
8.2.2. Stop length (Fig. 7/8)
To prevent the workpiece becoming jammed,
always slide the stop rail (25) to the front edge of
the table (1) and fix it in place with the two
knurled screws (16) (see 8.2.1).
8.2.3 Cutting width (Fig. 8)
The parallel stop (7) has to be used when
making longitudinal cuts in wooden workpieces.
Slide the parallel stop (7) to the right or left side
of the saw table (1).
The parallel stop (7) can be set to the required
dimension with the help of the scale (b) engraved
on the saw table (1).
Tighten the two thumb screws (12) in order to fix
the parallel stop (7).
8.3 Adjusting the cutting height (Fig. 4/9)
Slacken the four thumb screws (15).
The saw table (1) can be raised or lowered to
adjust it to the required cutting height.
The cutting height can be read off the scale (c) of
the splitter (5).
Fix the saw table (1) with the thumb screws (14).
Important:
Always tighten the thumb screws
securely to prevent the saw table dropping
accidentally.
9. Sawing operations
After each new adjustment it is advisable to
carry out a trial cut in order to check the set
dimensions.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
Take extra care when starting the cut!
9.1 Cutting narrow workpieces
(width less than 120 mm) (Fig. 7)
Adjust the parallel stop (7) to the width of
workpiece you require.
Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always
use the push stick (3) in the area of the saw
blade (4).
(A push stick is supplied with the saw!)
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (5).
Caution! With short workpieces, use the push
stick from the beginning.
9.2 Cutting extremely narrow workpieces
(width less than 30 mm) (Fig. 11)
Adjust the parallel stop (7) to the width of
workpiece you require.
Use the push block (d) to press the workpiece
against the stop rail (25) and push the workpiece
with the push stick (3) through to the end of the
splitter (5).
There is no push block supplied with the saw!
(Available from your specialist dealer)
9.3 45°-cuts on small workpieces (Fig. 12)
You must always use the parallel stop (7) and the
angle stop (14) when making 45° cuts.
Insert the angle stop (14) in the stop rail (25) of
the parallel stop (7).
Adjust the parallel stop (7) to the required length
of the workpiece and clamp securely.
Insert the workpiece in the angle stop (14).
Switch on the saw and slide the angle stop (14)
together with the workpiece along the stop rail
(25) into the blade (4).
Switch off the saw when the cut is completed.
