• Push the mounting carriage onto the guide rail as illustrated (Figure 3.5). Adjust the three set
screws so that the mounting carriage can be pushed smoothly over the guide rail. The Allen key
can be stowed close at hand on the mounting carriage after each adjustment (Figure 3.6).
Sawing with the guide rail
• DANGER: Disconnect the plug from the electric socket or remove the battery from the power
tool before adjusting the tool or changing accessories. Accidents may occur if the power tool
is started unintentionally.
• Setting up the circular hand saw on the mounting carriage: place the mounting carriage on the
edge of a table and extend both alignment clips (Figure 4.1). Retract the protective pendulum
cover on the circular hand saw and position the machine on the mounting carriage (Figure 4.2).
• Align the saw blade of the circular hand saw parallel to the mounting carriage. To do this, slide
the saw blade of the circular hand saw as far as the extended alignment clips and align the saw
blade centrally to the clips (Bild 4.3).
• Caution: Do not use circular hand saws with base plate dimensions greater than the values
indicated (Figure 5). Always align the circular hand saw with the saw blade and not the base
plate when setting up the mounting carriage. The base plate and saw blade may not be parallel
to each other.
• Now start by pressing the large side lay (a) from the front onto the base plate of the circular
hand saw and tighten both handle screws. Then push the four limit stops (b, c) towards the base
plate and tighten the four handle screws (Figure 4.4).
• Lift the circular saw out of the mounting carriage and push the alignment clips back into their
original position until they engage (Figure 4.5, 4.6).
• Annotation: For safety reasons, the circular hand saw is not clamped to the carriage, but rather
only secured laterally. Once the circular hand saw has been set up on the mounting carriage,
it can be removed and reinserted at any time without readjustment.
• It is recommended to start by making a test cut with the guide rail corresponding to the cutting
length of the rail (1,100 mm).
• Fasten the guide rail to the workpiece you want to use for the test cut using the two clamps
(Figure 6). The guide rail can be used to make cuts on workpieces up to a maximum width
of 1,100 mm.
• Push the mounting carriage onto the rail up to the first notch. Then position the circular hand
saw (Figures 7.1 - 7.3).
• Caution: Adjust the cutting depth of your circular saw so that the saw blade protrudes
max. 3 mm on the underside of the workpiece. Switch on the circular hand saw now. Guide
the circular hand saw steadily over the entire workpiece as far as the outfeed area (Figure 7.4).
Switch off the circular hand saw. The protective pendulum cover is automatically opened by the
leading edge and automatically closed again in the outfeed area of the guide rail (Figure 7.5).
• Cutting into the splinter shield: the splinter shield of the guide rail is cut into during the first cut
with the circular hand saw and thus set to the exact dimension for the saw blade used. After
cutting in, the leading edge of the splinter shield corresponds exactly to the cutting edge to be
made on the workpiece.
• Now measure the actual workpiece (using a universal angle or similar) and make 2 - 3 markings
(beginning, middle and end) where you want to saw.
• Secure the workpiece on a flat and secure surface. Place the edge of the splinter shield at your
marks and secure the guide rail to the workpiece as described above using the two clamps. Push
the mounting carriage onto the guide rail as described above and insert your circular hand saw
into the mounting carriage.
