Weight 4.2 kg Dimensions 34 x 24 x 24 cm Totally insulated II / Accessories supplied Parallel stop Applications The hand-held circular saw is designed for sawing straight cuts in wood, in materials similar to wood, and in plastics. Safety regulations Adjust the splitter so that it is no more than 5 mm from the tooth rim of the saw blade and its lowest point is not retracted more than 5 mm relative to the tooth rim. Do not use cracked or misshapen saw blades. Do not use saw blades made of high-alloy, high- speed steel (HSS). Never use saw blades which do not conform with the specifications quoted in these instructions. Make sure that all the moving parts of the blade guard work properly without jamming. Make sure that all devices which play a role in covering the saw blade are in proper working order. The splitter must be properly adjusted and used at all times except for plunge-cuts. Do not use the saw near fumes or combustible liquids. Use only sharp blades and suitable accessories. Always pull the plug out of the socket before converting, cleaning or adjusting the saw. Keep the power cable safe from damage. Oil and acid can cause damage to the cable. Never use saw blades with plates that are thicker or with sets that are smaller than the thickness of the splitter. Never remove the plug from the socket by pulling on the power cable and do not carry the saw by its cable. Have repairs carried out only by specialists. If you use a cable reel, the complete cable must be drawn off the reel. The conductor must have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm

. Maximum fuse rating 16 A. Secure all workpieces sufficiently and do not overload the machine. Wear suitable clothing and goggles and use a dust mask on dusty jobs. Wear ear muffs to protect your ears! For lengthy jobs on wood and when cutting materials which produce a great deal of dust, the circular saw should be connected to a suitable dust extractor (observe you country’s regulations regarding wood dust extraction).

Working with the hand-held circular saw Always hold the circular saw firmly. The hinged guard hood will be pushed back automatically by the workpiece. Never apply force! Advance the circular saw gently and steadily. The off-cut piece should be to the right of the circular saw so that the wide part of the base plate is supported over its entire surface. When sawing along a marked line, guide the circular saw along the corresponding groove. Clamp small pieces of wood securely before sawing. Never hold them in your hand. Always observe the safety regulations! Wear goggles! Do not use defective saw blades or blades with cracks or flaws. Do not use flanges or flange nuts with a hole which is larger or smaller than that of the saw blade used. Do not try to stop the saw blade with your hand or by applying pressure to the side of the blade. The hinged guard must not jam and must return to its original position once work is completed. Before plugging in the circular saw, check that the hinged guard is functioning properly. Before each use, always check that the safety devices - the hinged guard, splitter, flanges and adjustment devices - are functioning properly and have been adjusted and secured correctly. You can connect a suitable dust extractor to the guard hood. Check that the dust extractor is fitted securely and properly. The hinged guard hood is not to be wedged in the retracted guard hood when sawing. Maintenance Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean and unobstructed at all times. Blow out any dust and dirt at regular intervals. Have a specialist workshop check the carbon brushes in the event of excessive sparking. Worn carbon brushes are to be replaced only by a specialist workshop or by our Customer Service Centre. Keep the machine clean at all times. Never use any caustic agents to clean the plastic parts. If ever you discover any damage, consult the exploded drawing and parts list to determine exactly which replacement parts you need to order from our Customer Service Centre.
