Non-Ferrous Metal (Type CE)
Use only a sharp saw blade that is suitable
for the material. This ensures a clean cut
and prevents the jamming of the saw
blade.
Apply the switched on machine to the work piece,
start sawing carefully, then saw with slow ad-
vancing and without interruption.
For profile pieces, always start on the small side;
for U-profiles, never begin the cut on the open
side.
Support long profile pieces, otherwise the saw
blade will jam when the piece falls down and the
machine can kick back.
Materials with Mineral Content
(Light Construction Material) (Type CE)
Only dry cutting is permitted.
Work only with a guide rail 27 (optional extra).
Use dust vacuuming. The vacuum cleaner must
be approved for the extraction of masonry dust.

Practical Advice

Parallel Guide

D
The parallel guide 8 enables exact cuts along a
work piece edge and cutting strips of the same di-
mension.
Sawing with an auxiliary guide
E
For cutting large work-pieces or straight edges:
Clamp a board or strip tightly to the work-piece as
an auxiliary guide using screw clamps. Guide the
base plate along the auxiliary guide.
Guide Rail (Optional Extra)
F
The guide rail 27 enables particularly exact cut-
ting, both vertically and mitred to 45°.
The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from
slipping and protects the surface of the work
piece. The hard anodised coating of the guide rail
allows the circular saw to glide easily.
The rubber lip on the guide rail serves as a splin-
ter guard, which avoids fraying of the surface
when sawing wooden materials. For this, the
teeth of the saw blade must lie directly against the
rubber lip.

When working with the guide rail 27, the guide
adapter 26 (accessory) is fundamentally re-
quired.
For exact cuts using the guide rail 27 pro-
ceed as follows:
– Place the guide rail onto the work-piece pro-
jecting slightly over the side. Make sure that
the end with the rubber lip is directed towards
the saw blade (fig. I).
I
– Insert the guide adapter 26 in the seat for
H
the parallel guide. For pre-adjustment with dif-
ferent cutting angles mind the mark on the
guide adapter 26.
– Place the circular saw with pre-mounted guide
adapter 26 onto the guide rail 27 and set the
cutting angle and cutting depth.
– When setting the cutting depth make sure that
the cutting depth is reduced by the height of
the guide rail.
– Align the circular saw with the aid of the guide
adapter 26 in such a way that the teeth of the
saw blade lie against the edge of the rubber lip.
– Make sure that the guide rail is not sawn into
(fig. II and III).
II
0°-Cut
– Tighten the winged screw for the parallel
guide 16 to ensure a firm connection between
the guide adapter 26 and the circular saw.
– Remove the circular saw from the guide
rail 27.
– Place the guide rail on the work-piece in such
a way that the rubber lip lies exactly along the
cutting edge (crack line) and tighten using
screw clamps 29.
