EN Use and operation | Adjustment and operation
6. USE AND OPERATION
The circular saw is supplied with a circular-saw blade intended for making straight cuts in
wooden materials. After replacement of the circular-saw blade, you can also cut plastics,
thermoplastics, hard plastics, laminate, polyurethane foam boards, mineral wool insulation
boards, cement bricks, cellular concrete and products made of non-ferrous metals. The saw is
intended for household or hobby use only. Any other use is strictly prohibited.
7. ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
Portable circular saw operation
Turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed before starting the cut, i.e. before the
blade touches the material.
Do not exert too much force upon the saw, give it enough time for cutting.
Hold the saw with your both hands using both handles. This is the best way to control the
saw.
The part being cut automatically applies pressure the retractable guard of the machine.
During cutting, push the circular saw evenly and smoothly forward.
The part to be cut off must be on the right-hand side of the saw so that the wide part of the
base plate is fully supported.
Attaching the parallel guide (see Fig. 3)
The parallel guide /6/ allows cuts parallel to the edge the distance of which does not exceed
10 cm.
Loosen the adjustment knob /5/- clockwise direction
Insert the parallel guide /6/ into the saw base /8/ .
Adjust the parallel guide at the desired distance and tighten the adjustment knob /5/ -
anticlockwise
Unscrew the adjusting screw.
Adjust the parallel stop according to the scale taking also into account the circular-saw blade
width.
ATTENTION! Before making a clean cut, perform a testing cut using a material chunk.
Blade replacement (see Fig. 5)
ATTENTION! Before the blade replacement, always disconnect the saw from the mains.
ATTENTION! Use only sharp and undamaged blades. Cracked or bent blades must be
immediately replaced.
