1. Check if saw blade is tightened
While the saw blade is tightened securely for
immediate use when it is assembled at the factory, be
sure to check it out again for caution's sake. A saw
blade fi xing screw can be tightened when it is turned
clockwise.
Use the provided hexagonal bar wrench to check it
out. For further details, refer to the item of PRIOR TO
OPERATION on Page 18.
2. Switching on and off
When the lock-off button is pushed forwards, the
motor section can be moved downwards. The saw
blade then emerges from the guard.
<Switching on>
Push the lock-off button forwards and hold, then
actuate the trigger switch.
<Switching off >
Release the trigger switch.
3. Rotational speed preselection
Select the speed at the dial. For recommended
speeds, see table 5 and 6.

4. Working Directions
WARNING
● 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 sawing, never remove the machine from
the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
● If the saw blade blocks, turn the machine off
immediately.
● Do not set the machine down until the saw blade
has come to a standstill.

<Plunge cuts>
The motor section is in the upper position, the saw
blade does not project from the base. Hold the
machine tightly with both hands and place with the
base onto the workpiece. Switch on the machine.
Lower the motor section slowly to the set cutting
depth and then move slowly in cutting direction.
<Sawing along a straight line>
The cutting indicator is used here. The left edge
(marked red) indicates the direction of the cut if the
saw blade is held vertically. The right edge indicates
the direction of the cut if the saw blade is held at 45°.
(Fig. 23)
<Sawing along a guard rail secured on the workpiece>
In order to achieve an exact cutting edge, you can
attach a guard rail to the workpiece and then guide
the hand-held circular saw by means of the base
along this guard rail.
CAUTION
● To avoid abnormal heating of the blade tip or
damage to the saw blade, do not twist or apply
excessive force to the saw blade when cutting.
Let the blade move forward smoothly.
● In the situation where the circular saw is
continuously operated while replacing the
battery with stocked spare batteries one after
another, the motor tends to overheat. Therefore,
whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw
a break for a while.
● Avoid cutting operation in a state where the base
bottom is afl oat from the material being cut.
Otherwise, the motor can get locked.
