WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR CIRCULAR
SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, please run your
circular saw no-load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Excessive feed significantly reduces the
performance capability of the machine and
reduces the service life of the saw blade. Sawing
performance and cutting quality depend on the
condition and the tooth count of the saw blade.
Therefore, use only sharp saw blades that are
suited for the material to be worked.
Choice of blades: 24 teeth for general work,
approx. 40 teeth for finer cuts, more than 40
teeth for very fine cuts into delicate surfaces.
RIP FENCE (Fig. E)
The rip fence (8) enables exact cuts along a
workpiece edge and cutting strips of the same
dimension.
BEVEL CUTS (Fig. F)
Set required bevel angle between 0° and 56°.
Do not use the depth-of-cut scale when making
bevel cuts due to possible inaccuracy.
POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY)
(Fig. G1, G2)
This operation requires much skill with a saw and
must only be carried out by a competent person.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of
cut on the saw. Position the saw over the marked
area with the front edge of the base plate resting
on the work surface and cutting guide aligned
with marked line on workpiece. Ensure the blade
is not touching but is close to the work surface.
The moving lower blade guard (9) must be
rotated open by using the lower guard lever (11).
Switch the saw on and gently swing the blade
down into the material but maintain a pivoting
force on the front edge of the base. The moving
lower blade guard can now be released for
normal action of the guard.
WARNING!
The blade teeth are exposed during this operation so
proceed with extreme caution.
