6.2 Using the circular saw
•
Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
•
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.
•
Do not switch on the circular saw until you
have fitted a saw blade.
•
Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you
wish to saw. The saw blade must not be in

6.3 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 9)
To switch on:
Press the locking button (3) and the ON/OFF

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

Do not slow down the saw blade after you
switch it off by pressing it sideways.
