Operating instructions for the
hand-held 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 groove A.
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing. Never hold them in your hand.
Always observe the safety regulations! Wear
goggles!
Do not use damaged 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 by hand.
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
guard is functioning properly.
Before each use, always check that the safety
devices - the hinged guard, splitter, flanges and
adjustment devices - are functioning properly and
have been adjusted and secured correctly.
Maintenance
Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean
and unobstructed at all times. Blow out any dust
and dirt at regular intervals.
Check the carbon brushes in the event of
excessive sparking.
Replace the carbon brushes in good time. They
must be at least 4 mm long. Check after every 100
hours of operation.
Keep the machine clean at all times.
Never use any caustic agents to clean the plastic
parts.
If ever you discover any damage, consult the
exploded drawing and parts list to determine
exactly which replacement parts you need to order
from our Customer Service Centre.
