specified value in exceptional circumstances.
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 (Figure 2/3)
앬
Release the locking screw on the rear of the
guard hood for adjusting the cutting depth (4).
앬
Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of the
workpiece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until
the saw blade (12) is at the required cutting depth
(a).
앬
Refasten the locking screw for adjusting the
cutting depth (4). Check the handle is securely
fastened.
5.2 Miter stop (Figure 4/5)
앬
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.
앬
Release the locking lever for miter setting (7) on
the front of the saw foot.
앬
You can now adjust the cutting angle to around
45°. Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale (9) as
you do so.
앬
Refasten the locking lever for miter setting (7).
Check the handle is securely fastened.
5.3 Extraction of dust and chips (Figure 6/7)
앬
Connect your circular saw to a suitable vacuum
cleaner with the dust extractor adaptor (11) Then
fit the dust extraction adaptor (11) into the
intended sawdust extraction outlet (14) on the
hand-held circular saw. You can then connect a
suitable vacuum cleaner (a) to the dust extractor
adaptor (11) (vacuum cleaner not supplied). 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.
앬
Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
앬
Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the
workpiece material.
앬
Check that all the parts are properly connected.
5.4 Parallel stop (Figure 8/9)
앬
The parallel stop (16) enables you to saw parallel
lines.
앬
Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8)
on the saw foot (6).
앬
To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the
guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 8)
앬
Set the required spacing and then tighten the
locking screw (8) again.
앬
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
앬
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
앬
The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
앬
Do not use force!
Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular
saw.
앬
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.
앬
If you are sawing down a line that has been
drawn, guide the circular saw along the
corresponding notch.
앬
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing them. Never hold them with your hand.
앬
Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
앬
Do not use defective saw blades or blades that
are cracked or broken.
앬
Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore
hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw
blade.
앬
The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand
or by applying lateral pressure to the blade.
앬
The swing guard hood must not jam and must
