• Depress knob (B) with your right-hand thumb
and keep it depressed.
• Depress knob (A) to start the saw.
• Release knob (A) to stop the saw.
7.2 Operation
• Hold the work using clamps or a vice to have
both hands free to operate the saw.
• Switch on the saw and place the bottom plate
on the work.
• Slowly move the saw towards the previously
drawn cutting line and slowly press the tool
forward.
• Firmly press the bottom plate on the work,
otherwise the circular saw may start to vibra-
te, causing the blade to break more easily.
Let the saw do the job. Do not put
undue pressure on the circular saw.
7.3 Laser beamer in use
The leading beam of the laser beamer makes
sawing in straight lines much easier:
• Along a drawn line, or
• By aligning it to a fixed point marked on the
workpiece.
The range of the laser beam, depending on the
environmental light, is about 65 cm.
