BEFORE OPERATION
1) Charging
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use another
battery charger.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep
discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is
switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool
holder no longer rotates.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery
pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow
time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
When the battery is charged for the first time and
after prolonged storage, the battery will only accept
approximately 60% charge. However, after several
charge and discharge cycles the battery will accept a
100% charge.
2) Removing/Installing the battery pack（See
Fig. A）
Press the battery pack release button and remove the
battery pack from the tool. After recharge, slide the
battery pack into tool's battery port. A simple push
and slight pressure will be sufficient.
3) Parallel Guide(See Fig.E1 E2)
1. ADJUST THE CUTTING DEPTH (See Fig. C)
To achieve an optimum cut, the saw blade must not
protrude the material. For adjusting the cutting depth,
loosen the cutting depth lock knob and raise the
saw from the base plate, or lower it to the base plate
10
respectively. Adjust the required cutting depth using
the cutting depth scale(25). Tighten the cutting depth
EN
lock knob again.
2. ADJUST THE CUTTING ANGLE
Loosen the base plate bevel lock, tilt the base plate
away from the machine until the required cutting angle
is adjusted on the angle scale. Then tighten the bevel
lock knob.
Note:The adjustment screw is used to set the
accurate bevel angle at 0°. (See Fig. B)
3. CUTTING GUIDE (See Fig. D)
The cutting mark 0° (8) indicates the position of the
saw blade for right-angled cuts. The cutting mark 45°
(8) indicates the position of the saw blade for 45° cuts.
Both cutting marks include the width of the saw
blade. Always guide the saw blade off of the drawn-
up cutting line so that the required measure is not
reduced by the width of the saw blade. For this,
choose the corresponding notch side of the cutting
mark 0° (8) or 45° (9) as shown in the illustration.
Note: It is best to carry out a trial cut.
4. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE (See Fig. A)
_ Before any work on the machine itself,
remove the battery.
_ Wear protective gloves when mounting the
saw blade. Danger of injury when touching the
saw blade.
_ Only use saw blades that correspond
with the characteristic data given in the
operating instructions.
_ Do not under any circumstances use
grinding discs as the cutting tool.
For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place the
machine on the face side of the motor housing.
REMOVING
Press the spindle lock button (4) and keep it
depressed.
The spindle lock button (4) may be actuated only when
the saw blade is at a standstill. Or it will damage the
machine.
Loosen the blade bolt(18)with the hex key(23).
Remove the outer flange (17). Tilt back the lower
blade guard(20),and hold it firmly with the lower guard
lever(14). Remove the saw blade (16).
MOUNTING
Clean the saw blade and all the clamping parts to be
assembled. Tilt back the lower blade guard (20), and
hold it firmly with the lower guard lever (14). Place the
saw blade onto the inner flange (15). Assemble the
outer flange (17) and the blade bolt (18). Use the hex
key to tighten the blade bolt with 1/4 turn more than
finger tight.
_ Take care that the mounting positions of the
inner flange and outer flange are correct.
_ When mounting: Ensure that the cutting
direction of the teeth (direction of arrow
on saw blade) and the direction-of-rotation
arrow on the blade guard match.
5. HEX KEY STORAGE (See Fig. B)
The hex key provided can be placed in the area under
the machine motor.
6. SAWDUST REMOVAL (See Fig. F)
STARTING OPERATION:
1. SWITHCING ON AND OFF
For starting operation the machine, actuate the lock-
off button (1) first, and then press and hold the On/off
switch (2) afterwards.
To switch off the machine, release the On/off switch
(2).
For safety reasons the On/Off switch of the
machine cannot be locked; it must remain
pressed during the entire operation.
2. ELECTRICAL BRAKE
An integrated electrical brake immediately reduces the
speed of the saw together with the saw blade after
switching off the machine.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR CORDLESS
CIRCULAR SAW
Always use a blade suited to the material and material
thickness to be cut. The quality of cut will improve as
the number of blade teeth increase. Always ensure
the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Support large panels close to the cut line.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality
of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and
may chip the uppermost surface or edges of your work
piece when cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a
non visible surface when your work is finished.
