General Safety
Regulations
▼
Position Circular Saw on level
ground only.
▼
Wear protective footwear.
▼
Wear ear protection and goggles.
▼
Do not wear loose clothing.
▼
Never use faulty mains leads.
▼
Ensure that working place is suffi-
ciently lit as insufficient lighting consid-
erably increases the likelihood of injury!
▼ Work carefully! Incorrect handling
can lead to grave injuries from the rotat-
ing saw blade.
▼
Never work without guards.
▼
Do not use damaged, torn or
deformed saw blades.
▼
Always switch off drive when modi-
fying the circular saw.
▼
Use pushing stick for longitudinal
cutting.
▼
Do not operate the Circular Saw in
enclosed spaces.
▼
Press the emergency stop pedal immedi-
ately in case of danger.
▼
Specified saw blade diameters:
▼
Transport saw only with fixed table.
▼
Only use original POSCH spare
parts.
▼
Never run machine unattended.
▼
Minimum operator age: 18
Noise Information
When cutting logs or timber, a noise
level of 98 - 100 dB(A) can be expected
near the operator's ears.
We therefore urgently recommend the
use of ear protection.
Start-up
▼
Position saw on level ground.
▼ Attach pto circular saw to three-point
linkage of tractor.
• During operation the saw must be
fixed to both bottom steering links of
tractor.

Operating the Circular Saw
▼
Mount universal shaft and attach
safety chain.
▼ Check all bolts on guards and tighten
if necessary.
▼
Check secure seat of circular saw
blade and tighten hexagonal nut if nec-
essary (see Fig. 9 - Saw blade change).
The saw blade must turn without mak-
ing contact.
▼
Push down gripper and table into
rear position. The table should automat-
ically return to its base position.
▼
Switch on pto on tractor and engage
slowly.
• Observe the pto and saw blade
rotation direction
Fig. 3 - Rotation direction of tractor pto.
▼
The maximum pto rotation is
• 700 U/min .
Cutting
Fig. 4 - Cutting process
▼
Position log on table and push with
gripper against guard
▼
Slide table towards saw blade and cut
log. The gripper protects against flying
wood chips.
▼
When cutting the log, do not push so
tight as to reduce the revolutions of the
saw blade. This causes a right-angle gear
overload
Machine with emergency stop
Caution! Press the emergency stop pedal
immediately in case of danger.
1. Press through the emergency stop pedal
with your food.
• The breke-shoe stops the saw blade
in a short time.

Operating the Circular Saw
Caution! Don´t use the emergency stop
support continuous to switch off the
machine.
2. After using the emergency stop you
must switch off the pto. Then retract the
emergency stop pedal in the starting
position.
Longitudinal cutting
Modification for longitudinal cut-
ting
Caution! Before modification switch off
machine
▼
For longitudinal cutting, a saw blade
diameter of 500 mm is necessary, requir-
ing the following steps:
Fold the table forward
Fig. 5 - Longitudinal cutting modification
• Press down stop pin.
• Slide the table forward to the stop.
• Push down the stop pin again and
slide the table into the frontmost
position.
• Fold the table up and lower onto
ground. Stand on the side of the

Sharpening of Saw Blade
(see Fig. 11 - Sharpening of saw blade)
When sharpening the saw blade the orig-
inal depth "T" must remain. The tooth
base must consequently also be ground.

The first oil change should take place
after 100 operating hours followed by
further changes after every 1500 operat-
ing hours or once yearly.
Caution! Used oil must be disposed off
according to environmental regulations.
Check applicable environmental regula-
tions.

Additional maintenance
information
▼In case of excessive wear, the wooden
strips of the saw blade guide should be
replaced.
▼Dismantle the saw blade guard peri-
odically and remove any residues.
▼Check the operation of the table

Servicing
• Undo the tensioning and fixing
screws of the gears.
3. Undo the hexagonal nuts of the metal
flange bearings and lift the complete cir-
cular saw shaft unit out of its frame.
Caution! Before lifting out the unit,
mark up the position of the metal flange
bearings.
4. Remove old V-belts and replace with
new belts.
Caution! The V-belts must be mounted
loosely. A "forcing" onto the V-belt pul-
ley might damage the V-belts, causing
them to break within a short period.
* ....... for model M1920E
5. Refasten the circular saw shaft unit on
the frame.
6. Evenly pretension the V-belts with the
tensioning bolts.
• The V-belts must be pretensioned
so that their centre can be pushed in
approx. 7 mm by thumb pressure.
7. Tighten the gear fixing bolts and place
locknut on tensioning bolts.
