Working with the electric hand circular
saw
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
The hinged guard hood will be pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
Never apply force! Advance the circular saw gently
and steadily.
The off-cut piece should be to the right of the
circular saw so that the wide part of the base plate
is supported over its entire surface.
When sawing along a marked line, guide the
circular saw along the corresponding groove.
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing. Never hold them in your hand.
Always observe the safety regulations! Wear
goggles!
Do not use defective saw blades or blades with
cracks or flaws.
Do not use flanges or flange nuts with a hole
which is larger or smaller than that of the saw
blade used.
Do not try to stop the saw blade with your hand or
by applying pressure to the side of the blade.
The hinged guard must not jam and must return to
its original position once work is completed.
Before plugging in the circular saw, check that the
hinged guard is functioning properly.
Before each use, always check that the safety
devices - the hinged guard, riving knife, flanges
and adjustment devices - are functioning properly
and have been adjusted and secured correctly.
You can connect a suitable dust extractor to the
guard hood. Check that the dust extractor is fitted
securely and properly.
The retractable blade guard is not to be wedged in
the open position.

and unobstructed at all times. Blow out any dust
