7. Using the saw

7.1. ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1)
To turn the saw on, press the green button "I" .
Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed
of rotation before commencing with the cut.
To turn the machine off again, press the red
button "0".
7.2. Cutting depth (Fig. 1)
Turn the hand crank (8) to set the blade (4) to
the required cutting depth.
Turn anti-clockwise:
Turn clockwise:
7.3. Parallel stop
7.3.1. Stop height (Fig. 11-13)
The parallel stop (7) supplied with the bench-
type circular saw has two different guide faces.
For thick material you must use the stop rail (23)
as shown in Fig. 11, for thin material you must
use the stop rail as shown in Fig.10.
To change over the stop rail (23) to the lower
guide face you have to slacken the two knurled
screws (26) in order to disconnect the stop rail
(23) from the holder (24).
Remove the two knurled screws (26) through the
one slot (27) in the stop rail (23) and insert in the
other slot (25).
Remount the stop rail (23) on the holder (24).
The procedure for changing over to the high
guide face is similar.
7.3.2. Cutting width:
The parallel stop (7) has to be used when
making longitudinal cuts in wooden workpieces.
The parallel stop (7) can be mounted on either
side of the saw table (1).
The parallel stop (7) has to be mounted in the
guide rail (28) of the saw table (1).
The parallel stop (7) can be set to the required
dimension with the help of the scale (22) on the
guide rail (1).
You can clamp the parallel stop in the required
position by pressing the eccentric lever (12).
7.3.3. Setting the stop length (Fig. 9)
The stop rail (23) can be moved in longitudinal
direction in order to prevent the workpiece from
becoming jammed.
Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes
up against an imaginary line that begins roughly
at the center of the blade and runs at an angle of

45° to the rear.
Set the required cutting width
- Slacken the knurled screws (26) and push the
stop rail (23) forward until it touches the
imaginary 45° line.
- Retighten the knurled screws (26).
7.4. Cross stop (Figure 8)
Slide the cross stop (14) into the groove (21) of
the table.
Slacken the knurled screw (20).
Turn the cross stop (14) until the arrow points to
the angle required.
Retighten the knurled screw (20).
larger cutting depth
Important!
smaller cutting depth
Do not push the stop rail (23) too far toward the
blade.
The distance between the stop rail (23) and the
blade (4) should be approx. 2 cm.
7.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 14)
Undo the fixing handle (9).
Turn the handle to set the desired angle on the
scale.
Lock the fixing handle again in the required
angle position.

8. Operation

Important!!
After every new adjustment we recommend you
to make a trial cut in order to check the new
settings.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
Take extra care when starting the cut!
Never use the equipment without the suction
function. Regularly check and clean the suction
channels.
8.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 18)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when
you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel
stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The guard hood (2) must always be lowered over the
workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt a
working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width. (See
7.3.)
