Adjusting the Laser

(Figure 32)
If the laser (35) no longer shows the correct cutting line, this can
be readjusted. To do this, open the screws (z). Adjust the laser
so that the laser beam hits the cutting teeth of the saw blade (4).
Tighten the screws (z) again.

Using the Laser

(Figures 31-32)
- The laser (35) enables you to carry out precision cuts with
your circular saw.
- The laser light is produced by a laser diode supplied by two
batteries. The laser light is expanded to form a line and is
emitted through the laser exit aperture. You can then use the
line as an optical marking for the cutting line of the precision
cut. Please note the laser safety information.
- Insert the batteries
- Switch on the laser: turn the laser on/off switch (36) to I.
When the saw blade guard (2) is mounted, the laser on/off
switch (36) is accessible through a recess in the guard (Fi-
gure 31). A red laser beam is now projected out of the laser
exit aperture. If you guide the laser beam along the cutting
line mark while sawing, you will achieve clean cuts.
- Switch the laser off: turn the laser on/off switch (36) to 0.
The laser beam goes off. Please always turn the laser off
when it is not required in order to save the batteries.
- The laser beam may be blocked by dust deposits and chips.
You should therefore remove these particles from the laser
exit aperture after every use (with the device switched off).

Working Instructions
After each new adjustment, we recommend a trial cut in order to
check the set dimensions. After the saw has been switched on,
wait until the saw blade has reached its maximum speed before
you carry out the cut.
Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end of the cutting
process (e.g. unwinding stand etc.)
Caution with incision cutting.
Operate the device only with a suction system. Check and clean
the suction channels regularly.
Suitability of the saw blades:
- 24 teeth: soft materials, high chip removal, rough cut image

Performing Longitudinal Cuts

(Figure 33)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction. One edge
of the workpiece is pressed against the parallel stop (6) while the
always be lowered onto the workpiece. The working position du-
ring longitudinal cutting must never be in a straight line with the
cutting line.
- Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the workpiece height
and the desired width.
- Switch on the saw.

workpiece and push the workpiece along the parallel stop
(6) into the saw blade (4).
- Guide from the side with your left or right hand (depending
on the position of the parallel stop) only up to the front edge
of the saw blade guard (2).
- Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving
knife (3).
- The cutting waste remains on the saw table (1) until the saw
blade (4) is back in its resting position.
- Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end of the
cutting process! (e.g. unwinding stand etc.)

Cutting narrow Workpieces

(Figure 34)
Longitudinal cuts of workpieces with a width of less than 120
mm always have to be cut with the help of a push stick (19). The
push stick is included in the scope of delivery. Replace a worn or
damaged push immediately.
• Adjust the parallel stop according to the planned workpiece
width.
• Advance the workpiece with both hands, making sure that
you use a push stick (19) as a pushing aid in the vicinity of
the saw blade.
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving
knife.
Caution! In the case of short workpieces, the push
stick should be used from the beginning of the cutting
process.

Cutting very narrow Workpieces

(Figure 35)
For longitudinal cuts of very narrow workpieces with a width of
30 mm and less, a push block must be used without fail. There is
no push block included in the scope of delivery! (Available from
specialist shops) Replace a worn push block as soon as possible.
• The parallel stop should be adjusted to the cutting width of
the workpiece.
• Press the workpiece with the push block against the stop rail
and push the workpiece with the push stick (19) through to
the end of the riving knife.

Performing Bevel Cuts

(Figure 36)
All bevel cuts are made using the parallel stop (6).
- Adjust the saw blade (4) to the desired angle.
- Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the workpiece width
and height.
- Perform the cut according to the workpiece width

Performing Transverse Cuts

(Figures 29, 37)
- Push the transverse stop (40) into one of the two grooves
(33) of the saw table. Adjust to the desired angle. The left
groove (33) is to be used if the saw blade (4) also has to be
positioned at an oblique angle.
