G
Lock the tool at the maximum cutting height position
and use the manual control to open the pivoting guard.
G
Place the tool on the guide rail, taking care to ensure
that the baseplate lies flat on the rail.
G
Use the stop piece to increase safety when making the
plunge cut. It should be fixed in position at the rear edge
of the baseplate so that the rear plunge cut mark on the
circular saw coincides with the point at which the cut is
to begin.
G
Set the cutting depth to maximum depth unless a pre-
defined cutting depth is required.
G
Switch the tool on and plunge the blade evenly into
the workpiece.
External dust and chip extraction
Extraction of dust and chips reduces the amount of dust
in the working environment and helps to keep the work-
place clean. Connect the external extraction system when
you are using the saw for a long period or when work-
ing with materials which produce harmful dust when cut.
The hand-held circular saw is equipped with a hose con-
nector suitable for use with conventional extraction hoses
with a diameter of
≥
27 mm (1
3
/
8
″
). The direction of chip
ejection can be selected simply by turning the pivoting
chip ejector until it engages in the desired position.
Cleaning the chip ejection channel
G
Ensure that the tool is disconnected from the mains
socket.
G
Press the plastic tab on the rear lower side of the guard
and remove the guard.
G
Clean the chip ejection channel in the guard and then
replace the guard, ensuring that the plastic tab is engaged.
Ensure that only a safety vacuum cleaner of the “M” class
(wood) is used and that its equipment is of the anti-sta-
tic type. We recommend use of the Hilti WVC 40-M safe-
ty vacuum cleaner.
