GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tools plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tool. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and cars
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

To prevent unnecessary heating of the motor,
the bench circular saw may only be used in the
following ways:
After operation for 4 minutes (S 6 = 40%) with
normal permitted workload, a break of 6 minutes
must follow, in order to let the circular saw idle
and cool.
Noise emission values
Idle speed
sound pressure level LpA 101 dB(A)
sound power level LWA 110 dB(A)
The quoted values are emission values and not
necessarily reliable workplace values. Although
there is a correlation between emission and
immission levels it is impossible to draw any
certain conclusions as to the need for additional
precautions. Factors with a potential inuence
on the actual immission level at the workplace
include the duration of impact, the type of room,
and other sources of noise etc., e.g. the number
of machines and other neighbouring operations.
With this information the user should at least be
able to make a better assessment of the dangers
and risks involved.

7.2 Attaching the table length and width
extensions (Fig. 10-14)
• Loosely attach the table width and length
extensions (14/15) to the saw bench (1) with
the hex screws (c), washers (a) and nuts (b).
(Figure 12-13).
• Screw the supports (23) loosely to the housing
of the bench saw and to the table width/
length extensions. (Short supports for width
extension, long supports for length extension)
(Fig 13-14).
• Adjust the table width and length according to
the saw bench (1).
• Finally, tighten all screws.
• Turn the saw and base frame around and set it
on the oor.
7.3 Assembling/disassembling the saw
blade guard (Fig. 2, 15-16)
• Set the saw blade guard (2) with screw (24)
from above onto the splitter (4), so that the
screw sits rmly in the oval hole (25).
• Do not tighten the screw (24) too much; the
saw blade must be able to move freely.
• Attach the extractor hose (3) to the extractor
adapter (16) and to the extraction port of the
saw blade guard (2) and screw them to the
extractor adapter with the safety clamp (16).
• Connect a suitable chip extraction system to
the extractor adapter (16).
• To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
Caution: Before starting to saw, the saw
blade guard (2) must be lowered onto to the
workpiece.
7.4 Replacing the table insert (Fig. 17-18)
• If the table insert is worn or damaged, it
should be replaced, otherwise risk of injury is
increased.
• Take off the saw blade guard (2) (see 7.3)
• Remove the 2 countersunk screws (26)
• Remove the worn table inserts (6)
• Assembly of the new table inserts is to be
carried out in reverse order.
7.5 Adjusting the splitter (Fig. 19-20)
• Caution: Pull out the power plug.
• Set the saw blade (5) to max. cutting depth.
• Adjust and lock the cutting depth into the 0°
position (see Fig. 8.2).
• Disassemble the saw blade guard (see 7.3)
• Remove the table inserts (6) (see 7.4)
• Loosen the xing screws (27).
7.5.1 Setting for maximum cuts
• Push up the splitter (4) until the gap between
the saw table (1) and the upper edge of the
splitter (4) is at 10cm.
• The distance between saw blade (5) and
splitter (4) should be a maximum of 5mm. (Fig.
20)
• Re-tighten the screws (27) and assemble the
table inserts (6) (see 7.4).

7.6 Assembly/Changing the saw blade
(Fig. 21)
• Caution: Pull out the power plug rst.
• Detach the saw blade guard (2) (see Fig. 7.3).
• Remove the table inserts by loosening the 2
countersunk screws (see 7.4)
• Loosen the nut (Caution! Turn the nut in the
direction in which the saw blade rotates) by
using a wrench (24mm) on the nut and another
wrench (10mm) on the motor shaft to apply
counter-pressure.
• Remove the outer ange and withdraw the old
saw blade diagonally from the inner ange.
• Clean the blade ange thoroughly before
tting the new blade.
• Mount and fasten the new saw blade in reverse
order.
• Caution: Note the running direction. The
cutting angle of the teeth must point in
running direction, i.e. forwards (see the arrow
on the blade guard).
• Ret and set the table insert (6) and the saw
blade guard (2) (see 8.4, 8.5)
• Check to make sure that all safety devices
are properly mounted and in good working
condition before you begin working with the
saw again.
8. Operation
8.1 ON/OFF Switch (Fig. 22/pos. 11)
• The saw can be switched on by pressing the
green button “I”. Before starting to saw, wait
until the saw blade has reached its maximum
rotation speed.
• In order to switch the saw off again, the red
button “0” must be pressed.
8.2 Cutting depth (Fig. 22)
• By turning the hand crank (8), the saw blade
(5) can be adjusted to the desired cutting
depth.
Anticlockwise direction: Larger cutting depth
Clockwise direction: Smaller cutting depth
8.3 Setting the angle (Fig. 22)
• Loosen the locking grip (9)
• Set the desired angle on the scale by turning
the handle.
• Lock the locking grip to the desired angularity.
8.4 Parallel stop
8.4.1. Stop height (Fig. 23-26)
• The stop rail (e) of the parallel stop (7) has two
different guide faces.
• According to the thickness of the material to
be cut, the stop rail must be used according
to Fig. 25 for thick material (over 25mm
workpiece thickness), and according to Fig.
26 for thin material (under 25mm workpiece
thickness.
m
8.4.2 Turn the stop rail (Fig. 23-26)
• Loosen the wing nuts (f) rst in order to turn
the stop rail (e).
• Now the stop rail can be removed from the
chain bar (h) and replaced with the correct
guide on the guide rail.
• Re-attach the wing nuts (f).
8.4.3 Cutting width (Fig. 26-28)
• The parallel stop (7) has to be used when
making longitudinal cuts in wooden
workpieces.
• The parallel stop (7) should be mounted on the
right-hand side of the saw blade (5).
• Set the parallel stop (7) onto the parallel stop
chain bar (12) (Fig. 26)
• On the parallel stop chain bar (12) there are
2 scales (j/k) which indicate the distance
between the stop rail (e) and saw blade (5)
(Fig. 27)
• Choose the correct scale, depending on
whether the parallel stop (e) is turned for
working with thick or thin material.
High parallel stop (thick material): Scale j
Low parallel stop (thin material): Scale k
• Adjust the parallel stop (7) to the desired
dimension on the gauge (l) and fasten with the
eccentric lever for the parallel stop (28).
8.4.4 Adjusting the stopping length
(Fig. 29)
• In order to avoid jamming of the workpiece,
the stop rail (e) is longitudinally adjustable.
• Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop is
connected to an imaginary line, which begins
approximately at the middle of the saw blade,
and runs towards the rear at an angle of 45°.
• Set the required cutting width.
• Slacken the thumb screws (f) and push the
stop rail (e) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
• Re-tighten the wing nuts (f)
8.5 Adjusting the parallel stop (Fig. 30)
• Adjust the saw blade to maximum cutting
depth (see also 8.2).
• Adjust the parallel stop (7) so that the stop rail
(e) touches the saw blade (5) (Setting for thick
material, see also 8.4)
• If the parallel stop (7) is not lined up with the
saw blade (5), loosen the screws (m) enough
to let the parallel stop align itself parallel to the
saw blade (5) (Fig. 30)
• Re-tighten the screws (m)
20
8.6 Cross stop (Fig. 31-32)
• Insert the cross stop (13) into the groove (29)
of the saw table.
• Loosen knurled screw (30)
• Turn the cross stop (13) until the arrow points
to the angle required.
• Re-tighten the knurled screws (30)
• When cutting larger workpieces, the cross stop
(13) can be lengthened with the stop rail (e) of
the parallel stop (7) (Fig. 32).
• In order to lengthen the cross stop (13) with
the stop rail (e), the stop rail (e), the chain
bar (h) and the wing nuts (f) together with
the washer from the parallel stop (7) must be
removed. Now the stop rail is to be attached
as shown in Fig. 32. To do this, use the carriage
bolt (n).
Caution:
• Do not push the stop rail (e) too far toward the
blade.
• Distance between the stop rail (e) and saw
blade (5) should be about 2cm.
8.7 Adjusting the scale of the cross stop (Fig. 33)
• Set an angle of 90° on the saw blade (5).
• Attach the cross stop (13) to the stop rail (e) of
the parallel stop (7).(See also 8.4).
• Loosen the knurled screw (30) on the cross
stop (13).
• Position the cross stop (13) so that the stop rail
is at a 90° angle to the saw blade (5).
• Now align the cross stop exactly with the
saw blade with the aid of the 90° angle and
re-tighten the knurled screw (30).
• Check that the cross stop shows exactly 90°. If
this is not the case, proceed as follows:
• Loosen both screws (o) which are holding the
scale (p) of the cross stop (13) to the cross
stop enough so that this can be adjusted to the
correct position.
• Now re-tighten the screws (o).
8.8 Adjusting the scale on the saw bench
(Fig. 28; 34)
• Make sure that the parallel stop (7) runs in line
with the saw blade (5) (see also 8.5)
• Set the parallel stop so that it touches the saw
blade (5) (Setting for thick material, see also
8.4)
• Loosen the screw (q) which attaches the scale
(j/k) to the chain bar (12) by about 2 turns.
• Adjust the scale (j/k) so that the line on the
gauge (l) of the parallel stop (7) is the same as
the zero line on the scale (j).
• Re-tighten the screw (q).
