Care, Maintenance and Repairs
Fig. 10: Handling
Follow these steps for sawing:
Step 1: Mark the desired cutting line, using a marker pen
for example.
Step 2: Clamp the workpiece and make sure that it is se-
curely clamped.
Step 3: Locate the front edge of the machine support on
the workpiece. Make sure that the cutting
guide display lines up with the desired or
marked cutting line and that the saw blade is
parallel to the cutting line and pointing in its di-
rection. The swivelling saw blade guard must
not be open at this point, not even partially.
Step 4: Release the safety lock and then press the on/off
switch.
Step 5: Allow the saw blade to run up to final speed and
then move the manual circular saw forward.
While doing so, make sure that the saw blade
guard swivels back without jamming.
Step 6: After completing the cut, release the pressure on
the on/off switch without letting go of the ma-
chine. Make sure that the saw blade is at a
standstill and the saw blade protection is
closed before taking the machine off the work-
piece.
7.9 Securing workpieces
Clamp the workpiece correctly on a suitable and stable
support and using suitable aids. Support long work-
pieces to prevent them dropping or tilting.
8 Care, Maintenance and Re-
pairs
ATTENTION!
Secure the workpiece carefully against bending or
slipping before machining. Note that the saw blade
can be trapped by the cut-off dropping at the end of
machining.
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the saw blade has fully run down and
is at a standstill before changing the clamping situa-
tion, for example, the clamping position or the cut-
ting angle
ATTENTION!
Before starting cleaning and maintenance work of
the machine, disconnect the power plug.
Tips and recommendations
To keep the metal-cutting circular saw in a good
operational condition at all times, regular care and
maintenance work must be performed.
WARNING!
Risk due to inadequately qualified persons!
Inadequately qualified persons are unable to assess
the risks in case of repairs to the machine, thus put-
ting themselves and others at risk of severe or fatal
injuries.
All maintenance work must be carried out by quali-
fied persons only.
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury through electric shock!
There is a risk of fatal injury on touching live compo-
nents.
- Before starting cleaning and maintenance work, al-
ways unplug the mains connector.
- The machine's electrical equipment must be con-
nected and repaired by a qualified electrician only.
NOTE!
After cleaning, maintenance and repairs, make sure
that all panels and protective guards are once again
correctly in place on the machine and that there are
no tools on the inside or outside of the machine.
Damaged protective guards and machine parts must
be professionally repaired by an approved workshop,
or replaced.
