Tips
Parallel Guide (see figure
The parallel guide 10 enables exact cuts along a
work piece edge and cutting strips of the same di-
mension.
Sawing with an Auxiliary Guide
(see figure )
F
For cutting large work-pieces or straight edges:
Clamp a board or strip tightly to the work-piece as
an auxiliary guide using screw clamps. Guide the
base plate along the auxiliary guide.
Guide Rail (accessory) (see figure
The guide rail 25 enables particularly exact cut-
ting, both vertically and mitred to 45°.
The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from
slipping and protects the surface of the work
piece. The hard anodised coating of the guide rail
allows the circular saw to glide easily.
The rubber lip on the guide rail serves as a splin-
ter guard, which avoids fraying of the surface
when sawing wooden materials. For this, the
teeth of the saw blade must lie directly against
the rubber lip.
Working with the guide rail 25 is possible only
with use of the guide-rail adapter 24 (accessory).
For exact cuts using the guide rail 25 the
following working steps must be carried out
again:
– Place the guide rail onto the work-piece pro-
jecting slightly over the side. Make sure that
the end with the rubber lip is directed towards
the saw blade (Fig. I).

– Place the circular saw premounted guide-rail
adapter 24 onto the guide rail 25 and set the
cutting angle and cutting depth.
– Align the circular saw with the guide
adapter 24 in such a way that the teeth of the
saw blade lie against the edge of the rubber
lip.

– Make sure that the guide rail is not sawn into
(Fig. II and III).

– Tighten the winged screw for the parallel
guide 14 to ensure a firm connection between
the guide adapter 24 and the circular saw.

– Remove the circular saw from the guide
rail 25.
– Place the guide rail on the workpiece in such a
way that the rubber lip lies exactly along the
cutting edge (marked line) and tighten using
screw clamps 23.
The guide rail 25 must not protrude over
the workpiece on the side of the cut.
– Position the saw, ensuring that the guide-rail
adapter 24 is seated firmly.
– Saw through the material, applying moderate
and steady feed.
Note: Two guide rails can be connected to one
with use of the connection piece 26 (acces-
sory). Clamping is carried out with the four
screws located in the connection piece.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able
to move freely and freely and retract automati-
cally. Therefore, always keep the area around the
retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and
chips by blowing out with compressed air or with
a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.
Before use, the oil must be removed again, oth-
erwise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produce
poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade imme-
diately after use.
