Sawing with the guide rail and
the cutting guide
(Accessories – Figure 4 )
Exactly guided cutting is possible with the
cutting guide (17) attached to the guide plate of
the saw, used together with a guide rail (16).
The bottom surface of the guide rail is provided
with a rough covering to prevent skidding.
Should it not be sufficient, it is possible to fix the
guide rail at the end faces using the fastening
clamps, also delivered as accessories. When
necessary, several guide rails may be joined
together using the rail couplers, also delivered
as accessories.
Saw blade and its replacement
(Figures 1 to 3)
Always use well sharpened saw blades suitable
for the intended work. Blunt, cracked or de-
formed saw blades are dangerous and their use
is strictly prohibited.
� To change the saw blade, lock the saw spindle
by pressing the spindle locking device (19),
loosen the blade fixing screw (20) using the
hexagon key delivered, and remove the
clamping flange (21).
� Swing the pendulum safety guard (11) back
and remove the saw blade (12).
� Before a new saw blade is fitted, clean the
contact surfaces of the backing flange, saw
blade and clamping flange, and tighten the
blade fixing screw (20) again.
� Replace the hexagon key in its holder.
� The backing flange (bottom) and the clamping
flange (upper) are designed as a safety clutch,
so that if a sudden heavy overload occurs
during startup or when the saw blade is blocked
in cut, the saw blade may slip between the
flanges. Thus the risk of kickback is reduced
and gears of the circular saw are protected.
� The button of the spindle locking device may
be pressed only when the electric tool is not
running (with the plug disconnected from the
mains).
Riving knife (Figure 3)
� The circular saw is supplied fully assembled,
fitted with the riving knife (22) which must
always be used in order to assure safe opera-
tion.
��
� If position of the riving knife is to be altered to
suit different saw blade diameters, swing the
pendulum safety guard back, loosen the
fixing screw (23) using the hexagon key (24)
and shift the riving knife in its guiding slot.
� The riving knife is correctly adjusted when its
distance from the saw blade is in accordance
with Figure 3.
� When the correct position of the riving knife
has been accomplished, retighten the fixing
screw firmly.

Maintenance and care

The portable circular saws require practically no
maintenance. Lubrication for the antifriction
bearings and gears is designed to last for the
service life of the electric tool. However, it is re-
commended to clean air inlet and outlet openings
and dust extraction and chip discharge channels
occasionally with compressed air while the elec-
tric tool is running at no load. This will prevent
clogging of these openings with dust or chips.
The carbon brushes are specially designed to
allow their wear only to the minimum usable
length. Then the power supply circuit is automa-
tically interrupted and the electric tool stops
running. Replacement of the carbon brushes is
to be carried out by specialized service staff only!
Cable may only be replaced by a specialised elec-
tronics workshop qualified to perform such work.
Storage
Packed electric tools may be stored in dry un-
heated storerooms with temperatures not drop-
ping below – 5°C. Unpacked electric tools shall
be stored only in dry self-contained storerooms
with temperatures not dropping below + 5°C, where
sudden temperature changes are prevented.
Environmental Protection/
Disposal
Power tools, accessories and packaging should
be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
Only for EC countries:
Do not dispose of power tools
into household waste!
According to the European Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its incorporation into national
law, power tools that are no longer suitable for
use must be separately collected and sent for
recovery in an environmental-friendly manner.
