11.3 Carrying out cross cuts (Fig. 18)
m
WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating parts and sharp edges
- Hold the guided workpiece firmly.
- Use the mitre gauge to push the workpiece for-
wards until it is completely cut through.
1. Set the mitre gauge (21) as required (see 11.5.1). If
the saw blade (3) should also be tilted, push the mitre
gauge (21) into the right-hand guide groove. This pre-
vents either your hand or the mitre gauge (21) from
coming into contact with the saw blade guard (1).
2. Lower the saw blade guard (1) onto the saw ta-
ble (4). When sawing, the saw blade guard (1) is
pushed up and away from the workpiece.
3. Press the workpiece tight against the mitre gauge
(21).
4. Switch on the chip extraction system and then the
circular table saw.
5. In order to carry out the cut, push the mitre gauge
(21) and the workpiece towards the saw blade (3).
11.4 Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 19)
Longitudinal cuts of workpieces with a width of less
than 120 mm must always be made with the aid of a
push stick (F).
For short workpieces, the push stick (F) must be used
as soon as you start cutting.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the height
of the workpiece and the required width (see 11.4).
2. Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your
fingers closed and slide it along the parallel stop
(6) into the saw blade (3).
3. Always slide the workpiece to the end of the riving
knife (2) using the push stick (F).
11.5 Cutting very narrow workpieces (Fig. 19)
A wooden push block must always be used for longitudi-
nal cuts of very narrow workpieces with a width 50 mm
and less. The wooden push block is not included in the
scope of delivery! (Available from specialised dealers)
Replace a worn wooden push block in good time.
During sawing, workpieces may become jammed
between the parallel stop (6) and the saw blade (3),
caught by the saw blade (3) and then ejected at speed.
For this reason, the lower guide surface of the parallel
stop (6) should be favoured (see Fig. 15). Shift the stop
rail (5) if required (see 11.4.2).
44 | GB
1. Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the height
of the workpiece and the required width (see 11.4).
2. Use the wooden push block to push the workpiece
against the stop rail (5) and use the push stick (F)
to push the workpiece through to the end of the
riving knife (2).
11.6 Cutting chipboard
To prevent the cutting edges breaking when cutting
chipboard, proceed as follows: The saw blade (3) must
not be set higher than 5 mm above the workpiece thick-
ness (see also 11.2).
11.7 After sawing
1. Switch off the circular table saw first and then the
chip extraction system. The saw blade continues
to run for a longer time.
2. Disconnect the circular table saw from the mains
by pulling the mains plug out of the power socket.
3. Do not remove the cut waste on the saw table until
the saw blade has returned to its resting position.
4. Allow the circular table saw to cool down completely.
11.8 Removing trapped material
m WARNING
Risk of injury to fingers and hands due to sharp edges
- Wear protective gloves.
• If the saw blade is jammed in the workpiece or oth-
er blockages occur, proceed as follows: Switch the
circular table saw off immediately and remove the
mains plug from the socket.
• Use protective gloves and do not touch the saw
blade with your bare hands.
12. Cleaning
m DANGER
Risk of electric shock due to water entering the interior
of the device

m WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up of the ma-
chine
- Pull the mains plug out of the outlet.
12.1 Clean the product and saw blade guard
ATTENTION
