is dangerous to connect the plug of a loose cable
to a socket.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm
. When using a cable reel always

unwind the reel completely.
3. ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Before adjusting the saw, make sure the
plug is removed from the socket.
Setting the sawing angle (bevel)
Fig.B
Loosen both knobs (1).
Rotate the soleplate to the correct position (0°
- 45°), and tighten the knobs. The sawing
angle (bevel) can be read on the protractor
(2).
Fitting the rip fence
Fig.B
Loosen knob (3).
Insert the rip fence into the slots provided (4).
Set the correct cut width and tighten the knob
(3).
Setting the cut depth
Fig.A
Loosen knob (4).
Move the soleplate (8) downwards.
The cut depth of the saw blade can be read off
on the side of the safety guard.
Tighten the clamping knob (4) once the
correct depth is set.
Exchanging or cleaning the saw blade
Fig.D
Use the shaft locking knob (2) to prevent the
shaft from rotating.
Next loosen the hexagon screw (3) in the
centre of the saw blade, using the Allen key
provided.
Turn the safety guard to the rear, and hold it
there with the aid of the knob (1).
Withdraw the retaining ring and the saw
blade, and clean the saw blade, or replace it
with a new one.
Again place the saw blade back on the shaft.
Allow the safety guard to return over the saw
blade by releasing the knob (1).
Press the shaft locking knob (2) back in, refit
the retaining ring (5) and tighten the hexagon
screw firmly once more.
4. OPERATION
Use of hearing protection is
recommended while operating the
circular saw.
Switching on/off
Fig.E
Depress knob (B) with your right-hand thumb
and keep it depressed.
Depress knob (A) to start the saw.
Release knob (A) to stop the saw.
Operation
Hold the work using clamps or a vice to have
both hands free to operate the saw.
Switch on the saw and place the bottom plate
on the work.
Slowly move the saw towards the previously
drawn cutting line and slowly press the tool
forward.
Firmly press the bottom plate on the work,
otherwise the circular saw may start to
vibrate, causing the blade to break more
easily.
Let the saw do the job. Do not put undue
pressure on the circular saw.
Laser beamer
Laser beamer in use
The leading beam of the laser beamer makes
sawing in straight lines much easier:
a) Along a drawn line, or
b) By aligning it to a fixed point marked on the
workpiece.
The range of the laser beam, depending on
the environmental light, is about 65 cm.
Adjusting the laser beam
Transport handling and heavy use can affect
the precision of the laser beam.
