– Use the hex key (17) to tighten the clamping bolt in rota-
tional direction ➋. The tightening torque should be 6–
9 Nm, which corresponds to hand-tight plus ¼ turn.

Dust/chip extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.

Operation

Operating modes

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Setting the Cutting Depth (see figure B)
Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
u
piece. A space of less than the height of one full tooth
should be visible under the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever (23). For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate (12); for a larger cut-
ting depth, push the saw towards the base plate (12). Adjust
the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Retighten the clamping lever (23).
If you are unable to fully adjust the cutting depth after
loosening the clamping lever (23), pull the clamping lever
(23) away from the saw and swivel it downwards. Loosen
the clamping lever (23) again. Repeat this process until the
required cutting depth can be set.
The clamping force of the clamping lever (23) can be read-
justed. To do so, unscrew the clamping lever (23) and
retighten it in a position offset by at least 30° in an anticlock-
wise direction.
If you are unable to adequately fix the cutting depth after
tightening the clamping lever (23), pull the clamping lever
(23) away from the saw and swivel it upwards. Loosen the
clamping lever (23) again. Repeat this process until the cut-
ting depth is fixed.
Adjusting the Mitre/Bevel Angle
We recommend that you place the power tool down on the
front side of the protective guard (15).

Loosen the wing bolt (6). Swivel the saw to the side. Set the
required mitre angle on the scale (5). Retighten the wing
bolt (6).
Note: When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than
the value shown on the cutting depth scale (24).
Cut marks
45
0
The 0° cut mark (9) indicates the position of the saw blade
when making a right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (8) indic-
ates the position of the saw blade when making a 45° cut.
For a precise cut, place the circular saw against the work-
piece as shown in the figure. We recommend making a test
cut.
Setting the Cutting Depth (see figure B)
Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
u
piece. A space of less than the height of one full tooth
should be visible under the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever (23). For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate (12); for a larger cut-
ting depth, push the saw towards the base plate (12). Adjust
the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale.
Retighten the clamping lever (23).
If you are unable to fully adjust the cutting depth after
loosening the clamping lever (23), pull the clamping lever
(23) away from the saw and swivel it downwards. Loosen
the clamping lever (23) again. Repeat this process until the
required cutting depth can be set.
The clamping force of the clamping lever (23) can be read-
justed. To do so, unscrew the clamping lever (23) and
retighten it in a position offset by at least 30° in an anticlock-
wise direction.
If you are unable to adequately fix the cutting depth after
tightening the clamping lever (23), pull the clamping lever
(23) away from the saw and swivel it upwards. Loosen the
clamping lever (23) again. Repeat this process until the cut-
ting depth is fixed.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
