� Check if the data on the nameplate correspond
with the actual voltage of the power supply.
� The electric tools with rated voltage 230 V ~
may be also connected to 220 V.
� Fusing for 230 V: 16 A slow-action fuse or
equivalent automatic circuit breaker.
� Use only extension cords with a cross section
of 3 × 1.5 mm
2
, max. 20 m (3 × 2.5 mm
max. 50 m length).
� When the electric tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords intended for outdoor use
and so marked.
� Connection to a standby unit or generator:
minimum power 5 kVA / 230 V, 50 Hz.
Operation
Operating controls and adjusting
means (Figures 1 and 2)
Important:
� First familiarize yourself with the operating
controls and adjusting means of the electric
tool.
� The sawing unit is hinged to the guide plate (1)
on both sides and may be tilted up to 60°
against the guide plate.
� The electric tool is guided by the two favour-
ably shaped handles (2, 3).
� To switch the electric tool on, the interlock
which prevents unintentional starting must be
released first. To do this, press the lock-off
button (4) and the switch actuator (5) on the
handle at the same time.
Cutting depth adjustment (Figure 2)
� Loosen both the locking levers (6, 7);
� Set the desired cutting depth according to the
scale (8) by raising or lowering the spring-
loaded sawing unit;
� Retighten both the locking levers.
Mitre cutting (bevel adjustment)
(Figures 1 and 2)
� Loosen both the wing screws (9);
� Tilt the sawing unit to the desired angle
according to the scale (10) and retighten both
the wing screws;
� Adjust the cutting depth.
Working with the saw (Figures 1 and 4)
Attention must be paid that the following condi-
tions are met:
� The workpiece is safely supported and
clamped if necessary;
� Movement of the power supply cord is not
restricted in any way;
� The pendulum safety guard is in proper posi-
tion and freely movable;
� The saw blade which is suitable for the
2
,
intended application is used.
After the circular saw adjustment is completed,
the electric tool may be plugged into a mains
socket.
� Place the saw with the front part of the guide
plate on the workpiece, such that the pen-
dulum safety guard is still freely movable.
� As the saw is switched on and pushed for-
ward, the movable safety guard (11) will open
and uncover the saw blade (12).
� Upon completion of the cut, the movable
safety guard returns automatically to its
parking position and covers the saw blade.
� After the work is finished, switch the electric
tool off by releasing the switch actuator.
� For opening the movable safety guard
manually, use the lever (13).
� For sawing along a marked line, use the gauge
mark (14) on the guide plate (for 0°/45°/60°).
� For straight parallel cutting, use either the rip
fence (15) or a guide rail (16) together with
the cutting guide (17) fixed to the guide plate
of the saw.
In closed rooms, this electric tool should only be
operated with a dust extraction device connected.
Dust extraction (Figure 1)
Dust originating from cutting operations may be
harmful to human health, combustible or explo-
sive. It is necessary to implement all the relevant
safety measures.
Examples:
� Beech and oak dust can cause lung cancer.
Use a suitable dust extractor and wear a dust
mask.
� Dust from light metals can ignite or explode.
Keep the workplace clean, because mixing
diverse materials is especially dangerous.
� As protection of environment is to be consi-
dered, it is advisable to use the external dust
extraction system, so that chips and sawdust
are extracted immediately. The dust extrac-
tion adapter (18) is to be used for connection
of the suction hose junction sleeve.
