OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL CIRCULAR SAW
EN Safety instructions
ATTENTION! During longitudinal cutting, always use the longitudinal guide scale or straight
guide rail.
ATTENTION! Never use damaged or incorrect washers or clamping bolts.
ATTENTION! If the circular-saw blade is pinched or when interrupting a cut for other
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes
to a complete stop.
ATTENTION! Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward
while the blade is in motion. A kickback may occur.
ATTENTION! When restarting the saw in a work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and
check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
ATTENTION! Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching or kickback.
ATTENTION! Do not use dull or otherwise damaged blades.
ATTENTION! Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making a cut.
ATTENTION! Use extra caution especially when making a “plunge cut”, e.g. cut into existing
walls or blind areas.
ATTENTION! Never operate the saw without the blade guard attached.
Lower guard
ATTENTION! Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.
ATTENTION! Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly! Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
ATTENTION! Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be repaired before use.
ATTENTION! Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” or “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the lower guard lift lever and as
soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
ATTENTION! Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on the bench or floor.
Riving knife
ATTENTION! Use appropriate riving knife for the circular-saw blade used.
ATTENTION! Adjust the riving knife as indicated in the instructions for use.
