6. Operation

6.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw
•
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
•
The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
•
Do not use force!
•
Push forwards gently and evenly with the
circular saw.
•
The 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.
•
If you are sawing down a line that has been
drawn, guide the circular saw along the corre-
sponding notch.
•
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing them. Never hold them with your
hand.
•
Always follow the safety instructions. Wear
safety goggles.
•
Do not use defective saw blades or blades
that are cracked or broken.
•
Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose

bore hole is larger or smaller than those in the
saw blade.
•
The saw blade must not be decelerated by
hand or by applying lateral pressure to the
blade.
•
The swing guard hood must not jam and must
return to its initial position after the operation
has been completed.
•
Before you use the circular saw, check the
function of the swing guard hood with the
mains plug disconnected.
•
Before you use the machine, ensure that the
safety equipment such as the swing guard
hood, splitter, flanges and adjustment de-
vices are in working order and are correctly
adjusted and secure.
•
You can connect a suitable dust extraction
system to the sawdust extraction connector
(14). Ensure that the dust extractor line is sa-
fely and correctly connected.
•
The moving swing guard hood must not be
fixed in the retracted guard hood when the
saw is in use.
•
Saw blades whose main body is thicker or
tooth set thinner than the thickness of the
splitter must not be used.
Important. Always pull out the power plug be-
fore doing any work on the circular saw!
6.2 Using the circular saw
•
Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Do not switch on the circular saw until you
have fitted a saw blade.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
wish to saw. The saw blade must not be in
contact with the workpiece.Hold the circular
saw firmly with both hands.
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
•
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.
