5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Setting the cutting depth (Figure 2/3)
앬Release the handle on the rear of the guard hood
for adjusting the cutting depth (4).
앬Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of the
workpiece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until
the saw blade (12) is at the required cutting depth
(a).
앬Refasten the handle for adjusting the cutting
depth (4). Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.2 Miter stop (Figure 4/5)
앬The preset standard angle between the saw foot
(6) and saw blade (12) is 90°. You can adjust this
angle to carry out angled cuts.
앬Release the locking lever for miter setting (7) on
the front of the saw foot.
앬You can now adjust the cutting angle to around
45°. Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale (9) as
you do so.
앬Refasten the locking lever for miter setting (7).
Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.3 Extraction of dust and chips (Figure 6)
앬Connect a suitable vacuum cleaner (a) to the
provided chip extractor connector (14) of your
circular saw (vacuum cleaner not included). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect
both the equipment and your own health. Your
work area will also be cleaner and safer.
앬Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
앬Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the
workpiece material.
앬Check that all the parts are properly connected.

5.4 Parallel stop (Figure 7/8)
앬The parallel stop (16) enables you to saw parallel
lines.
앬Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8)
on the saw foot (6).
앬To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the
guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 7)
앬Set the required spacing and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
앬Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
(16) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start
the cut.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood
6. Operation
6.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw
앬Always hold the circular saw firmly.
앬The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
앬Do not use force!
Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular
saw.
앬The 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.
앬If you are sawing down a line that has been
drawn, guide the circular saw along the
corresponding notch.
앬Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing them. Never hold them with your hand.
앬Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
앬Do not use defective saw blades or blades that
are cracked or broken.
앬Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore
hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw
blade.
앬The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand
or by applying lateral pressure to the blade.
앬The swing guard hood must not jam and must
return to its initial position after the operation has
been completed.
앬Before you use the circular saw, check the
function of the swing guard hood with the mains
plug disconnected.
앬Before you use the machine, ensure that the
safety equipment such as the swing guard hood,
flanges and adjustment devices are in working
order and are correctly adjusted and secure.
앬You can connect a suitable dust extraction
system to the sawdust extraction connector (14).
Ensure that the dust extractor line is safely and
correctly connected.
앬The moving swing guard hood must not be fixed
in the retracted guard hood when the saw is in
use.
 Important. Always pull out the power plug
before doing any work on the circular saw!
6.2 Using the circular saw
앬Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
앬Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
앬Do not switch on the circular saw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
앬Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
to saw. The saw blade must not be in contact with
the workpiece.
앬Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.
앬Before you start your sawing work on the
workpiece, you can use the lever (15) to open the
swing guard hood (19) slightly. Starting the
sawing work is then easier.
6.3 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 9)
To switch on:
Press the locking button (3) and the ON/OFF switch
(2) at the same time
앬Allow 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 locking button and ON/OFF switch
앬If you release the handle the equipment will shut
down automatically which means that it cannot
operate accidentally.
앬Ensure that you do not cover or block the
ventilation openings whilst working with the tool.
앬Do not slow down the saw blade after you switch
it off by pressing it sideways.
앬Important! 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

6.4 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 10-13)
 Important. Always pull out the power plug
before doing any work on the circular saw!
Only use saw blades of the same type as the saw
blade supplied with this circular saw. Ask your dealer
for advice.
Use the saw blade key (13) supplied to change the
saw blade. The saw blade key (13) is stored in the
soleplate (6). Pull the saw blade key (13) out of the
soleplate (6) when you need it.
Important. The hand-held circular saw must not be
operated with the saw blade key (13) inserted in it.
앬Press the spindle lock (11).
앬Undo the screw to secure the saw blade (17)
using the saw blade key (13).
앬Push back and secure the moving swing guard
hood (19) using the lever for the swing guard
hood (20).
앬Remove the flange (18) and the saw blade (12) in
a downwards direction.
앬Clean the flange and insert the new saw blade.
Pay attention to the running direction (see arrow
on the guard hood and saw blade).
앬Tighten the screw to secure the saw blade (17),
check it runs true.
앬Before you press the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that
moving parts run smoothly and the clamping
screws are tightened securely.
6.5 Using the laser and the LED light (Fig. 14-15)
앬The laser (24) enables you to make precision
cuts with your circular saw.
앬The laser light is generated by a laser diode. The
laser light is enlarged to form a line and is emitted
through the laser emission aperture. You can
then use the line as an optical marker for the
sawing line for precision cuts. Follow the laser
safety instructions.
앬The LED light (23) can be used in poor lighting
conditions to additionally illuminate the cutting
position.
앬Use the combination switch for the laser/LED light
(22) to switch the laser and the LED light and off.
After inserting the plug into the socket, you can
select the following combinations with the
ON/OFF switch for the laser/LED light.
Press once: Laser ON
Press twice: Laser OFF - LED light ON
Press three times: Laser ON - LED light ON
Press four times: Laser OFF - LED light ON
앬The laser beam and the LED lamp can be
affected by deposits of dust and chips. The
emission aperture of the laser beam and the LED
light must therefore be cleaned after each use.
앬Always switch off the laser when not in use.
앬Always switch off the LED lamp when not in use.
앬The laser and LED light are powered by the
mains voltage. Batteries are therefore not
required.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
