Setting the cutting depth
NOTE
► We generally recommend setting the cutting
depth to approx. 3 mm more than the thickness
of the material. This ensures that you achieve
a clean cut.
♦ Release the locking screw , set the desired
cutting depth on the cutting depth scale and
then re-tighten the locking screw .
Working with the circular saw
1. Switch on the device – as described in "Switching
on and off" – and then place it with the front
edge of the base plate on the material.
2. Align the machine using the guide fence or
by using a marked line.
3. Hold the machine in both hands using the
handles and saw by exerting an even pressure.
Switching the laser on and off
Switching on:
♦ Press the ON/OFF switch laser .
Switching off:
♦ Press the ON/OFF switch laser .
NOTE
► If the batteries are spent, replace them with
two new 1.5 V alkaline button cells (type
AG 13/LR 44, e.g. GPA 76) .
Set rotational speed
■ Turn the adjusting wheel to the desired
rotational speed (arrow marking ▲)
(1 = lowest rotational speed/6 = highest rota-
tional speed):
Use the following suggested settings or set the rota-
tional speed on the adjusting wheel as required.

Tips and tricks
■ Avoid damaging the cutting edge of sensitive
materials, e.g. coated chipboards or doors, by
sticking masking tape along the cutting line.
Another benefit of this is that it is easier to mark
a line on the tape than on a shiny surface. An
even more effective method of protecting the
cutting edges is to clamp a thin piece of wood
along the cutting line (this wood is also sawn).
