Stopping
To stop release the switch button (pos.6) holding
the machine firmly.
We recommend repeating these operations
several times before starting work, in order to
familiarise yourself with the controls as far as
possible.
If you notice any working defects, switch off
the electrical tool and consult the chapter “Pro-
blems, causes and solutions”.
When not using the tool, turn it off and discon-
nect the plug from the socket.
USER INSTRUCTIONS

!
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out the fol-
lowing operations, make sure that the plug is
disconnected from the mains.
After reading the previous chapters carefully,
apply these tips scrupulously to obtain maximum
performance.
Proceed calmly so as to become familiar with
all the controls; after having gained sufficient
experience you will be able to make full use of
its potential.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
This is obtained by varying the amount the blade
sticks out in relation to the guide panel.
Loosen the cutting height adjustment lever
(pos.17) and move the guide panel (pos.3)
downwards in order to reduce the cutting depth,
and upwards to increase it. Fix the lever well after
adjusting the guide panel in the desired position.
The maximum cutting depth is obtained with an
inclination of 0°. Adjust the cutting depth to the
thickness of the panel to be cut; make the teeth
stick out only a few millimeters in any case for a
lower measurement than the height of the teeth.
CUTTING INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT
This is obtained by putting the guide panel on a
slope in relation to the blade.
Loosen the front handwheel (pos.2) and put
the guide panel on a slope to obtain the desired
cutting angle. Fix the handwheel(s) well after
making the adjustment.
With angles over 0°C, the cutting depth is less
than that indicated on the scale in pos.17.
USING THE GUIDE SET SQUARE (Fig.A and
Fig.D)
The guide set square (pos.11) is used for making
parallel cuts to the edge of the panel.
To adjust the distance of the cut from the edge
of the panel, loosen the handwheel (pos.12) and
slide the set square into the relevant guide; check
the cutting distance on the graduated scale. Fix
the handwheel well after the adjustment.
Should you need to carry out a parallel cut, at a
distance greater than the maximum one allowed
by the guide set square, use a strip of wood
fixed with clamps (not supplied) to be used as
a parallel cutting guide, see Fig.D.
MARKING THE CUTTING AREA (pos.22)
The two grooves on the guide panel indicate the
position of the blade in case of a perpendicular
cut with a 0° angle or on a 45° slope. It is re-
commended to check the correct alignment by
making a trial cut first.
PANEL BEING PROCESSED
The panel that you are going to cut must have
a compatible thickness with the circular saw.
Mark the cutting line with a ruler on the piece
and position it on trestles. Under the panel, in
correspondence with the cutting line, there must
not be any obstacles.
Important! For your safety it is important for
the panel to be fixed firmly, so that it doesn’t
fall once it has been cut, causing a risk for the
operator. Do not cut circular sections, old or
fragile wood, irregular wood, cracked wood,
wood with nails or screws, branches or trunks.
Always carefully inspect the piece.
PERFORMING THE CUT
Some types of panels could chip in the area
where the blade comes out: take care to perform
the cut resting the tool on the less important
part of the panel.
Carefully fix the piece to be cut, perform all the
adjustments to the tool and always connect up
the vacuum system pipe.
Plug the tool into the mains and grip it firmly
with both hands (Fig.C); rest the front part of the
guide panel on the edge of the panel (make sure
the mobile guard is closed) and start the tool.
Before starting to cut, wait a few seconds so that
the electrical tool reaches its full rotation speed.
Slowly move forwards while the mobile guard
(pos.10) moves automatically coming into
contact with the edge of the panel. Then main-
