Operation - Scheppach CS1300 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Assembly (fig. 1-3)
1. Attach the additional handle (5) to the connection
point of the device.
2. Screw the connection for chip extraction (11) with
the two screws (17) to the designated position on
the unit.
Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 4 / 5)
• Release the handle on the rear of the guard hood
for adjusting the cutting depth (4).
• Place the saw foot (6) flat on the surface of the
workpiece you wish to saw. Raise the saw until the
saw blade (13) is at the required cutting depth (A).
• Refasten the handle for adjusting the cutting depth
(4). Check the handle is securely fastened.
Mitre cuts (fig. 6)
• To make diagonal cuts, loosen the mitre adjustment
locking screws (8) on the front and rear of the de-
vice.
• You can now change the cutting angle by up to 45°.
Note the cutting angle scale (B) for this.
• After adjusting the desired angle, tighten the mitre
adjustment locking screws (8).
Extraction of dust and chips (fig. 2)
• Connect a suitable vacuum cleaner to the provided
chip extractor connector (11) of your circular saw
(vacuum cleaner not included). This will provide ex-
cellent dust extraction on the workpiece. The ben-
efits are that you will protect both the equipment
and your own health. Your work area will also be
cleaner and safer.
• Dust created when working may be dangerous. Re-
fer to the section entitled "Safety instructions".
• Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece
material.
• Check that all the parts are properly connected.
Parallel stop (fig. 7)
• The parallel stop (10) enables you to saw parallel
lines.
• Loosen the locking screw for the parallel stop (7)
on the saw foot.
• To assemble, slide the parallel stop (10) into the
guide (B) on the saw foot.
• Set the required spacing and then tighten the lock-
ing screw (7) again.
• Using the parallel stop: Position the parallel stop
(10) flat on the edge of the workpiece and start the
cut.
m Important! Carry out a trial cut in a piece of
waste wood.

9. Operation

Working with the hand-held circular saw
• Always hold the circular saw firmly.
• The swing guard hood is pushed back automati-
cally by the workpiece.
• Do not use force! Push forwards gently and evenly
with the circular saw.
• The waste piece should be on the right-hand side
of the circular saw so that the wide section of the
support bench supports its full area.
• If you are sawing down a line that has been drawn,
guide the circular saw along the corresponding
notch.
• Clamp small pieces of wood securely before saw-
ing them. Never hold them with your hand.
• Always follow the safety instructions. Wear safety
goggles.
• Do not use defective saw blades or blades that are
cracked or broken.
• Do not use any flanges / flange nuts whose bore
hole is larger or smaller than those in the saw blade.
• The saw blade must not be decelerated by hand or
by applying lateral pressure to the blade.
• The swing guard hood must not jam and must re-
turn to its initial position after the operation has
been completed.
• Before you use the machine, ensure that the safety
equipment such as the swing guard hood, splitter,
flanges and adjustment devices are in working or-
der and are correctly adjusted and secure.
• You can connect a suitable dust extraction system
to the sawdust extraction connector (11). Ensure
that the dust extractor line is safely and correctly
connected.
• The moving swing guard hood must not be fixed in
the retracted guard hood when the saw is in use.
• Saw blades whose main body is thicker or tooth set
thinner than the thickness of the splitter must not
be used.
Using the circular saw
• Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and parallel
stop.
• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (1) is not de-
pressed. Only then should you connect the mains
plug to a suitable socket.
• Do not switch on the circular saw until you have fit-
ted a saw blade.
• Place the saw foot flat on the workpiece you wish
to saw. The saw blade must not be in contact with
the workpiece.
• Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands.
