Before Starting The Equipment; Operation - EINHELL TE-XC 110/1 Original Operating Instructions

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 2)
•
Release the locking screw for the cutting
depth adjustment (4) at the rear of the guard
hood.
•
Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of
the workpiece you want to saw. Raise the saw
until the saw blade (12) is at the required cut-
ting depth (a).
•
Refasten the locking screw for the cutting
depth adjustment (4). Check that everything
is securely fastened.
5.2 Extraction of dust and chips (Fig. 3)
Connect your universal hand-held circular saw to
a suitable vacuum cleaner using the adaptor for
sawdust extraction (13).
•
First mount the adapter for sawdust extraction
(13) on the sawdust extraction connector
(14).
•
To lock in place, turn the adapter for sawdust
extraction (13) clockwise as far as it will go.
You can then connect a suitable vacuum cleaner
(not supplied) to the adaptor for sawdust extrac-
tion (13). This will ensure optimum dust extraction
from the workpiece. The benefi ts 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
vacuum extraction must be suitable for the materi-
al you are cutting. Check that all parts are proper-
ly joined together.
5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 4)
•
The parallel stop (17) enables you to saw
parallel lines.
•
Slacken the locking screw for the parallel stop
(8) on the saw foot (6).
•
To assemble, slide the parallel stop (17) into
the guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Fig. 4)
•
Set the required distance and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
•
Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel
stop (17) flat on the edge of the workpiece
and start the sawing.

6. Operation

6.1 Working with the universal hand-held cir-
cular saw
•
Always hold the universal hand-held circular
saw firmly.
•
The swing guard hood (16) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
•
Do not use force!
•
Push the universal hand-held circular saw
gently and evenly through the workpiece.
•
The piece which is being cut off should be on
the right-hand side of the universal hand-held
circular saw so that the wide part of the saw
foot rests with its full area on the workpiece.
•
If you are sawing along a drawn line, guide
the universal hand-held circular saw at the
corresponding notch.
•
Clamp small workpieces securely before sa-
wing them. Never hold them with your hand.
•
Always follow the safety instructions. Wear
safety goggles.
•
Do not use saw blades / cutting wheels which
are defective or have visible cracks or frac-
tures.
•
Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose
bore hole is larger or smaller than that in the
saw blade / cutting wheel.
•
The saw blade / cutting wheel must not be
slowed down by hand or by applying pressure
to the side of the saw blade / cutting wheel.
•
The swing guard hood must not jam, and it
must return to its initial position when you
have completed the cut.
•
Before you use the universal hand-held circu-
lar saw, check the function of the swing guard
hood with the mains plug disconnected.
•
Before you use the machine, make sure that
the safety equipment such as the swing guard
hood, flanges and adjustment devices are in
working order and are correctly adjusted and
secured.
•
You can connect a suitable dust extraction
system to the sawdust extraction adapter
(13). Make sure that the dust extraction sys-
