Original operating instructions

The hand-held circular saw is designed for sa- wing straight cuts in wood, wood-type materials and plastics. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The specifi ed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equip- ment is used and may exceed the specifi ed value in exceptional circumstances. The specifi ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specifi ed vibration value can be used for initi- al assessment of a harmful eff ect. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

Wear protective gloves. Caution! Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain resi- dual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-

rations if the equipment is used over a pro- longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. Warning! Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

5.1 Setting the cutting depth (Figure 2/3)

Release the handle on the rear of the guard hood for adjusting the cutting depth (4).

Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of the workpiece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until the saw blade (12) is at the required cut- ting depth (a).

The preset standard angle between the saw foot (6) and the saw blade (12) is 90°. You can adjust this angle to carry out angled cuts.

Undo the locking screw for miter setting (7).

You can now adjust the cutting angle by up to 45°. Keep an eye on the cutting angle scale (9) as you do so.

Refasten the locking screw for miter setting (7). Check that everything is securely faste- ned.

5.3 Extraction of dust and chips (Fig. 6/7)

Connect your circular saw to a suitable vacu- um cleaner using the dust extractor adaptor (20). Then insert the dust extraction adaptor (20) into the sawdust extraction outlet (14) provided on the hand-held circular saw. You can then connect a suitable vacuum cleaner (a) to the dust extractor adaptor (20) (vacu- um cleaner not supplied). This will provide excellent dust extraction on the workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect both the equipment and your own health. Your work area will also be cleaner and safer.

Dust created when working may be dange- rous. Refer to the section entitled “Safety inst- ructions”.

Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece material.

Check that all the parts are properly connec- ted.

The parallel stop (16) enables you to saw par- allel lines.

Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (8) on the saw foot (6).

To assemble, slide the parallel stop (16) into the guide (a) on the saw foot (6) (see Figure 7)

Set the required spacing and then tighten the locking screw (8) again.

Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop (16) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start the cut. Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of was- te wood

6.1 Working with the hand-held circular saw

Always hold the circular saw firmly.

The swing guard hood (19) is pushed back automatically by the workpiece.

Do not use force! Push forwards gently and evenly with the circular saw.

The waste piece should be on the right-hand side of the circular saw so that the wide section of the support bench supports its full area.

If you are sawing down a line that has been drawn, guide the circular saw along the corre- sponding notch.

Clamp small pieces of wood securely before sawing them. Never hold them with your hand.

Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety goggles.

Do not use defective saw blades or blades that are cracked or broken.

Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw blade.

The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand or by applying lateral pressure to the blade.

The swing guard hood must not jam and must return to its initial position after the operation has been completed.

Before you use the circular saw, check the function of the swing guard hood with the mains plug disconnected.

Before you use the machine, ensure that the safety equipment such as the swing guard hood, splitter, flanges and adjustment de- vices are in working order and are correctly adjusted and secure.

Ensure that the dust extractor line is safely and correctly connected. Important. Always pull out the power plug be- fore doing any work on the circular saw! Anl_BCS_64_2_SPK9.indb 17Anl_BCS_64_2_SPK9.indb 17 22.01.2019 14:31:5822.01.2019 14:31:58GB

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 contact with the workpiece.

Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.

6.3 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 9)

To switch on: Press the locking button (3) and the ON/OFF switch (2) at the same time

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 cannot operate accidentally.

Ensure that you do not cover or block the ven- tilation openings whilst working with the tool.

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

Important! Do not put down the machine until the saw blade has reached a complete stand- still. Important. Carry out a trial cut in a piece of waste wood

6.4 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 10-11)

Caution! Always pull out the power plug befo- re doing any work on the circular saw! Use only saw blades which comply with standard EN 847-1 and are of the same type as the saw blade supplied with this circular saw. Ask your dealer for advice. Use the hexagon key (13) supplied to change the saw blade. The hexagon key (13) is kept on the power cable. Pull the hexagon key (13) out of the power cable when you need it. Important! The hand-held circular saw must not be operated with the hexagon key (13) inserted in it!

Undo the screw to secure the saw blade (17) using the saw blade key (13).

Push back and secure the moving swing guard hood (19) using the lever for the swing guard hood (15).

Remove the flange (18) and the saw blade (12) in a downwards direction.

Clean the flange and insert the new saw bla- de. Pay attention to the running direction (see arrow on the guard hood and saw blade)!

Tighten the screw to secure the saw blade (17) and check that the blade runs true.

Before you press the On/Off switch, make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that moving parts run smoothly and the clam- ping screw is tightened securely.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger! If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Always pull out the mains power plug before star- ting any cleaning work.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En- sure that no water can seep into the device. Anl_BCS_64_2_SPK9.indb 18Anl_BCS_64_2_SPK9.indb 18 22.01.2019 14:31:5922.01.2019 14:31:59GB
