relevant safety regulations. To avoid danger,
electric appliances must only be repaired by
qualified technicians.
Additional safety rules for circular saws
Plugging into the mains, switching ON and OFF
• Always ensure that the Power Tool is switched
OFF before plugging into the mains.
• Remove the blade changing spanner from the
saw blade locking screw before switching ON.
• Do not switch OFF before the saw blade is
running freely.
When sawing
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the
workpiece before starting work.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small
workpieces.
• After switching OFF, never attempt to stop the
saw blade by pressing against the side of the
blade.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work
bench unless switched OFF.
• Always use the riving knife, except for inserted
cuts.
Operational protection devices
• The circular saw must only be used for cutting
wood or plastic.
• Ensure that all devices screening the saw blade
are in perfect working order.
• Never jam the saw blade guards.
• Free a jammed saw blade guard immediately and
do not use the saw if the guard is jammed.
• Do not remove the riving knife.

• The riving knife should be correctly set; the
distance between the toothed rim and the riving
knife should be 2 mm and the height difference
should be 2 mm or less (fig. E).
Checking and changing the saw blade
• Only saw blades conforming to the specifications
contained in these operating instructions may be
used.
• Saw blades made of high alloy, high speed steel
(HSS steel) should not be used. Good results are
achieved using carbide-tipped or CrV saw blades.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working
condition should be used; cracked or bent saw
blades should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed and
rotates in the correct direction.
Using in a fixed position
• When using a saw bench ensure that the width
of the sawing gap is sufficient to take the saw
blade being used.
• When cutting narrow workpieces (width less than
80 mm) longitudinally, use a rip fence guide along
the longitudinal edge.
• When sawing with the workpiece clamped tight,
devices should be used to prevent the workpiece
kicking back.
• When sawing circular sections of wood use a
device to hold the workpiece steady on both
sides of the saw blade to prevent slipping.
• Ensure that pieces of wood sawn off the
workpiece cannot be caught up by the teeth of
the saw blade and thrown in the air.
Guard against kickback
• Kickback occurs when the saw begins to stall
rapidly and is driven back towards the operator.
Release the switch immediately if the blade sticks
or the saw stalls.
• Keep the saw blades sharp.
• Support large panels near the cutting area.
• Use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping;
do not force the tool.
• Do not remove the saw from the work during a
cut while the saw blade is rotating. Release the
ON/OFF-switch and wait for the saw blade to
come to a halt.
