depth (4). Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.2 Miter stop (Figure 2/3)
The preset standard angle between the saw foot
(6) and saw blade (12) is 90°. You can adjust this
angle to carry out angled cuts.
Release the locking lever for miter setting (7) on
the front of the saw foot.
You can now adjust the cutting angle to around
45°. Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale (9) as
you do so.
Refasten the locking lever for miter setting (7).
Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.3 Extraction of dust and chips (Figure 1a)
Connect a suitable vacuum cleaner to the
provided chip extractor connector (14) of your
circular saw (vacuum cleaner not included). This
will provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect
both the equipment and your own health. Your
work area will also be cleaner and safer.
Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Refer to the section entitled "Safety instructions".
Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece
material.
Check that all the parts are properly connected.
5.4 Parallel stop (Figure 4)
The parallel stop (16) enables you to saw parallel
lines.
Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8)
on the saw foot (6).
To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the
guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 4)
Set the required spacing and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
(16) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start
the cut.
Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood
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
corresponding 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,
flanges and adjustment devices 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 safely and
correctly connected.
The moving swing guard hood must not be fixed
in the retracted guard hood when the saw is in
use.
Before you use the machine, ensure that the
safety equipment such as the swing guard hood,
splitter, flanges and adjustment devices are in
working order and are correctly adjusted and
secure.
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
before 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
