•
Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.
8.3 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 7)
To switch on:
Press the locking button (3) and the ON/OFF
switch (2) at the same time.
•
Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches
full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along
the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on the
saw blade as you do so.
To switch off:
Release the locking button and ON/OFF switch.
•
If you release the handle the equipment will
shut down automatically which means that it
cannot operate accidentally.
•
Ensure that you do not cover or block the
ventilation openings whilst working with the tool.
•
Do not slow down the saw blade after you
switch it off by pressing it sideways.
•
Important! Do not put down the machine until
the saw blade has reached a complete standstill.
Important. Carry out a trial cut in a
piece of waste wood.
8.4 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 8/9)
Important. Always pull out the power
plug before doing any work on the
circular saw!
Only use saw blades of the same type as the saw
blade supplied with this circular saw. Ask your
dealer for advice.
Use the saw blade key (13) supplied to change
the saw blade.
Important.
The hand-held circular saw must not
be operated with the saw blade key (13) inserted
in it.
•
Undo the screw to secure the saw blade (17)
using the saw blade key (13).
•
Push back and secure the moving swing guard
hood (19) using the lever for the swing guard
hood (20).
•
Remove the flange (18) and the saw blade (12)
in a downwards direction.
•
Clean the flange and insert the new saw blade.
Pay attention to the running direction (see arrow
on the guard hood and saw blade).
•
Tighten the screw to secure the saw blade (17),
check it runs true.
•
Before you press the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that
moving parts run smoothly and the clamping
screws are tightened securely.
8.5 Using the laser (Fig. 10)
•
The laser (11) enables you to make precision
cuts with your circular saw.
•
The laser light is generated by a laser diode. The
laser light is enlarged to form a line and is emitted
through the laser emission aperture. You can
then use the line as an optical marker for the
sawing line for precision cuts. Follow the laser
safety instructions.
• Use the switch for the laser (22) to switch the
laser on and off.
•
Always switch off the laser when not in use.
•
The laser is powered by the mains voltage.
Batteries are therefore not required.
