Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply
make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical
to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making adjust -
ments to the equipment.
Setting the cutting depth
▶ Release the handle on the rear of the guard hood
▶ for adjusting the cutting depth.
▶ Place the saw foot flat on the surface of the work -
piece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until the saw
blade is at the required cutting depth.
▶ Refasten the handle for adjusting the cutting depth.
Check the handle is securely fastened.
Miter stop
▶ The preset standard angle between the saw foot and
saw blade is 90°. You can adjust this angle to carry
out angled cuts.
▶ Release the locking lever for miter setting on the
front of the saw foot.
▶ You can now adjust the cutting angle to around 45°.
Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale as you do so.
▶ Refasten the locking lever for miter setting. Check the
handle is securely fastened.
Extraction of dust and chips
▶ Connect a suitable vacuum cleaner to the provided
chip extractor connector of your circular saw (vacuum
cleaner not included). This will provide excellent dust
extraction on the workpiece. The benefits are that you
will protect both the equipment and your own health.
Your work area will also be cleaner and safer.
▶ Dust created when working may be dangerous. Refer to
the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
▶ Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the ex -
traction work must be suitable for the workpiece ma -
terial.
▶ Check that all the parts are properly connected.
Parallel stop
▶ The parallel stop enables you to saw parallel lines.
▶ Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop on the
saw foot.
▶ To assemble, slide the parallel stop into the guide on
the saw foot.
▶ Set the required spacing and then tighten the locking
screw again.
▶ Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
flat on the edge of the workpiece and start the cut.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of waste
wood.

▶ If you are sawing down a line that has been drawn,
guide the circular saw along the corresponding notch.
▶ Clamp small pieces of wood securely before sawing
them. Never hold them with your hand.
▶ Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
▶ Do not use defective saw blades or blades that are
cracked or broken.
▶ Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore hole
is larger or smaller than those in the saw blade.
▶ The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand or by
applying lateral pressure to the blade.
▶ The swing guard hood must not jam and must return to
its initial position after the operation has been com -
pleted.
▶ Before you use the circular saw, check the function of
the swing guard hood with the mains plug disconnected.
▶ Before you use the machine, ensure that the safe -
ty equipment such as the swing guard hood, splitter,
flanges and adjustment devices are in working order
and are correctly adjusted and secure.
