앬 Do not use defective saw blades or blades that
are cracked or broken.
앬 Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore
hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw
blade.
앬 The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand
or by applying lateral pressure to the blade.
앬 The swing guard hood must not jam and must
return to its initial position after the operation has
been completed.
앬 Before you use the circular saw, check the
function of the swing guard hood with the mains
plug disconnected.
앬 Before 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.
앬 You can connect a suitable dust extraction
system to the sawdust extraction connector (14).
Ensure that the dust extractor line is safely and
correctly connected.
앬 The 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
앬 Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
앬 Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
앬 Do not switch on the circular saw until you have
fitted a saw blade.
앬 Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
to saw. The saw blade must not be in contact with
the workpiece.
앬 Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.
앬 Before 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
앬 Allow 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
앬 If you release the handle the equipment will shut
down automatically which means that it cannot
operate accidentally.
앬 Ensure that you do not cover or block the
ventilation openings whilst working with the tool.
앬 Do not slow down the saw blade after you switch
it off by pressing it sideways.
앬 Important! 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.
앬 Press the spindle lock (11).
앬 Undo the screw to secure the saw blade (17)
using the saw blade key (13).
앬 Push back and secure the moving swing guard
hood (19) using the lever for the swing guard
hood (20).
앬 Remove the flange (18) and the saw blade (12) in
a downwards direction.
앬 Clean the flange and insert the new saw blade.
Pay attention to the running direction (see arrow
on the guard hood and saw blade).
앬 Tighten the screw to secure the saw blade (17),
check it runs true.
앬 Before 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.
