•
Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8)
on the saw foot (6).
•
To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the
guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 6)
•
Set the required spacing and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
•
Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
(16) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start
the cut.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a
piece of waste wood.
8. Operation
8.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw
•
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
•
The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
•
Do not use force!
Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular
saw.
•
The waste piece should be on the right-hand
side of the circular saw so that the wide section of
the support bench supports its full area.
•
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 completed.
•
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
safety equipment such as the swing guard hood,
flanges and adjustment devices are in working
order and are correctly adjusted and secure.
•
You can connect a suitable dust extraction
system to the sawdust extraction connector (14).
Ensure that the dust extractor line is safely and
correctly connected.
•
The moving swing guard hood must not be fixed
in the retracted guard hood when the saw is in
use.
Important. Always pull out the power
plug before doing any work on the
circular saw!
8.2 Using the circular saw
•
Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 7.2, 7.3 and 7.5)
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Do not switch on the circular saw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
wish to saw. The saw blade must not be in contact
with the workpiece.
