over the workpiece before you begin to cut.
7.5 Changing the table insert (Figure 33)
To prevent increased likelihood of injury the
table insert should be changed whenever it is
worn or damaged.
Remove the saw blade guard (2) (see 7.4).
Remove the countersunk head screws (38).
Take out the worn table insert (6).
To fit the replacement table insert, proceed in
reverse order.
7.6. Setting the splitter (Fig. 32/33/34)
Important! Pull out the power plug.
Set the blade (4) to max. cutting depth, move to
0° position and lock in place (see. 8.2.
Remove the saw blade guard (see 7.4).
Take out the table insert (6) (see 7.5).
Slacken the nut (37).
7.6.1 Setting for maximum cuts (Figures 32/33/34)
Push up the splitter (5) until the gap between the
saw table (1) and the upper edge of the splitter
(5) is at its maximum.
The maximum distance between the saw blade
(4) and the splitter (5) is 8 mm.
Re-tighten the nut (37) and mount the table
insert (6).
7.7. Changing the saw blade (Abb. 36)
Important. Pull out the power plug.
Set the saw blade (4) to max. cutting depth (see
8.2)
Take off the saw blade guard (2) (see 7.4).
Take out the table insert (6) (see 7.5).
Place the counterholder (41) on the saw blade
flange.
Using the wrench (40), turn out the screw (42) in
the running direction of the saw blade.
Remove the saw blade (4) from the inner flange
and pull out in an upwards direction.
Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fitting
the new blade.
Mount and fasten the new saw blade in reverse
order.
Important. 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).
Refit and set the splitter (5) and the saw blade
guard (2) (see 7.4., 7.5.)
Check to make sure that all safety devices are
properly mounted and in good working condition
before you begin working with the saw again.

8.0. Using the saw

8.1. ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/11)
To turn the saw on, press the green button "I" .
Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed
of rotation before commencing with the cut.
To turn the machine off again, press the red
button "0".
8.2. Cutting depth (Fig. 37)
Turn the hand crank (8) to set the blade (4) to
the required cutting depth.
Turn anti-clockwise:
Turn clockwise:
8.3. Parallel stop
8.3.1. Stop height (Figure 39/40)
The parallel stop (7) supplied with the bench-
type circular saw has two different guide faces.
For thick material you must use the stop rail (23)
as shown in Fig. 39, for thin material you must
use the stop rail as shown in Fig. 40.
8.3.2 Cutting width (Fig. 39)
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 (4).
The parallel stop (7) must be pushed into the
guide (17) from the outside.
Set the parallel stop (7) to the required
dimension and fix it in place with the eccentric
lever (9).
8.3.3. Setting the stop length (Fig. 40)
The stop rail (23) can be moved in longitudinal
direction in order to prevent the workpiece from
becoming jammed.
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes
up against an imaginary line that begins roughly
at the center of the blade and runs at an angle of
45° to the rear.
Set the required cutting width:
- Slacken the thumb screws (44) and push the
stop rail (23) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Re-tighten the thumb screws (44).
8.4. The slide (Fig. 41)
The slide is supported on the slide rail (20) and is
free moving.
The slide can be set from 0° to 45°.
