extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece
material.
앬
Check that all the parts are properly connected.
5.4 Parallel stop (Fig. 4)
1. Undo the locking screw 8.
2. For 90° cuts, set the parallel stop (16) to notch A
on the scale; for 45° cuts, set the parallel stop
(16) to notch B on the scale. Always take account
of the saw blade width.
3. Refasten the locking screw.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood
6. Operation
6.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw
앬
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
앬
The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
앬
Do not use force!
Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular
saw.
앬
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.
앬
If you are sawing down a line that has been drawn,
guide the circular saw along the corresponding
notch.
앬
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing them. Never hold them with your hand.
앬
Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
앬
Do not use defective saw blades or blades that are
cracked or broken.
앬
Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore
hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw
blade.
앬
The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand
or by applying lateral pressure to the blade.
앬
The swing guard hood must not jam and must
return to its initial position after the operation has
been completed.
앬
Before you use the circular saw, check the
function of the swing guard hood with the mains
plug disconnected.
앬
Before you use the machine, ensure that the
safety equipment such as the swing guard hood,
splitter, flanges and adjustment devices are in
working order and are correctly adjusted and
secure.
앬
You can connect a suitable dust extraction system
to the sawdust extraction adapter (11). Ensure
that the dust extractor line is safely and correctly
connected.
앬
The moving swing guard hood must not be fixed in
the retracted guard hood when the saw is in use.
앬
Saw blades whose main body is thicker or tooth
set thinner than the thickness of the splitter must
not be used.
Important! Always pull out the power plug
before doing any work on the circular saw!
6.2 Using the circular saw
앬
Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and parallel
stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
앬
Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”
and the section entitled “Using the laser” how you
can work easily and safely with the laser (see
section 1 and 6.5).
앬
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
앬
Do not switch on the circular saw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
앬
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
to saw. The saw blade must not be in contact with
the workpiece.
앬
Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.
6.3 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 5)
To switch on:
Press the safety lock-off 3 and button 2 at the same
time
앬
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches
full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along
the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on the
saw blade as you do so.
To switch off:
Release the safety lock-off and button
앬
If you release the handle the equipment will shut
down automatically which means that it cannot
operate accidentally.
앬
Ensure that you do not cover or block the
ventilation openings whilst working with the tool.
앬
Do not slow down the saw blade after you switch it
off by pressing it sideways.
앬
Important! Do not put down the machine until the
saw blade has reached a complete standstill.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood
