- Release the plunge-cut lock (1.4) and set the
machine to the preset cutting depth.
- Slide the circular saw through the workpiece
with minimal force (approx. 10 N). Applying
greater force increases the cutting speed but
reduces the cutting quality and saw blade serv-
ice life considerably.

Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
The tool is fi tted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.

Disposal
Do not throw the power tool in your household
waste! Dispose of machines, accessories and pack-
aging at an environmentally-responsible recycling
centre. Observe the valid national regulations.
EU only: European Directive 2002/96/EC stipulate
that used electric power tools must be collected
separately and disposed of at an environmentally
responsible recycling centre.
