6. Initial Operation, Setting

Before plugging in, check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as
specified on the rating label, match your power
supply.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
6.1 Setting cutting depth
Note: It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a
way that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 2.
- Release locking screw (20). Lift motor section
against guide plate (depth of cut = 0 mm).
- Preselect the desired depth of cut with the cutting
depth stop (22), see illustration, page 2. To do
this, release the clamping lever (21), set the
cutting depth stop (22) on the scale (23) to the
desired depth of cut and clamp the clamping lever
again.
- Press the motor section downwards as far as the
stop.
- Tighten locking screw (20) again.
Note: the clamping power of the locking screw (20)
can be adjusted. Unscrew the screw on the lever to
do this. Remove lever and mount offset
counterclockwise. Secure with screw. When doing
this, note that the cutting depth setting device
moves freely when the lever is open.
6.2 Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts
Loosen the two locking screws (5) to make the
setting. Tilt the motor section against the guide
plate. Read the angle which has been set from the
scale (11). Retighten the front and then the rear
locking screw (5).

6.3 Correcting the saw blade angle
The saw blade angle is set ex works.
If, at 0°, the saw blade is not at right angles to the
guide plate: release locking screws (5). Release
lock nut (12) and correct saw blade angle with
adjusting screw (13). Then retighten the lock nut.
Retighten both locking screws (5).
6.4 Rotational speed preselection
Select the speed at the setting wheel (15). For
recommended speeds, see page 3.
6.5 Setting extraction nozzle / chip ejection
Sawdust extraction:
remove nozzle (9) if necessary. To extract the
sawdust, connect a suitable extraction unit with
suction hose to the machine.
Sawdust ejection:
Fit nozzle (9) and turn in desired direction (away
from body if possible).
7. Use
7.1 Switching on and off
Switching on: Press locking button (7) and hold in;
then actuate the trigger (8).
Switching off: Release the trigger (8).
7.2 Signal display
The signal display (16) lights up briefly when the
machine is switched on and indicates operational
readiness. If the signal display lights up during
operation, this indicates overloading. Reduce the
load on the machine.
7.3 Working instructions
Lay out the mains cable such that the cut can be
executed without obstruction.
For this purpose, the mains cable can be held by the
cable guide (14).
The marking (1) on the upper guard assists you in
positioning the saw on the workpiece and when
sawing. In the case of maximum cutting depth, it
marks approximately the outside diameter of the
saw blade and thus the cutting area.
Do not switch the machine on or off while the
saw blade is touching the workpiece.
Let the saw blade reach its full speed before
making a cut.
When the hand-held circular saw is added, the
movable guard is swung backwards by the
workpiece.
Open the bottom guard by hand only when making
special cuts, such as plunge cuts and angle cuts.
Open the bottom guard with the lever (17) and
release it as soon as the saw blade has penetrated
the workpiece. For all other sawing, the lower guard
must be released.
When sawing, never remove the machine
from the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
