Operation
Swing guard
When the saw blade is applied to the work-
piece, the swing guard (11), which covers the
saw blade, moves back automatically at the
same speed at which the blade is applied.
When you reach the end of the cut, the swing
guard moves back under spring pressure to
cover the blade again.
Setting the cut depth
The cutting depth can be set up to 66 mm
(1400 HKS).
The cutting depth can be set up to 200 mm
(1400 DS).
By releasing the clamp lever (7) on the housing,
the base (14) can be pressed downwards and
thus moved in the direction of cutting depth "0."
The cutting depth can be read off on the indi-
cator (24) or reset according to the scale.
-NOTE-
The cutting depth should always match the thick-
ness of the workpiece, i.e. the blade should only
protrude from the material by approx.the height of 1
saw tooth. This is important in order to prevent
accidents!
Sawing to layout lines
On the front edge of the circular saw base,
there is a marker (indentation) for right-angled
cuts (zero setting) corresponding to the saw
blade width. There are also marking tongues
for 0° and 45° bevel cuts. These enable simple
and precise operation.
The marking tongues in the base of the circular
saw (see drawing) also correspond to the cut
width of the saw blade.
-NOTE-
When sawing along a layout line, please ensure
that you cut according to the left or right edge of
the indentation or marking tongue, depending on
whether you are sawing to the left or right of the
layout line.
Changing the tool
Fitting the saw blade
Move the motor of the circular saw to its highest
position (min. cutting depth) – as described
under Setting the cutting depth – by releasing
the clamp lever (7) and then re-securing the
clamp lever (7).
Pull the swing guard (11) back and hold it in
end position.
Then fit the individual parts onto the drive
spindle of the saw in the following order:
1. Flange (20)
2. Saw blade (18)
3. Thrust washer (22)
4. Washer (21)
5. Socket-head cylinder bolt M8 x 18 (23)
-NOTE-
When inserting the blade, make sure that the
direction of the arrow on the saw blade corre-
sponds to the direction of the arrow on the housing.
The bearing surfaces of the saw blade, flange and
washer must be clean.
Press and hold down the pin for spindle lock
(19), and if necessary, rotate the saw blade
until the lock snaps into place.
With the pin for spindle lock (19) pressed down,
tighten the socket-head cylinder bolt (23) with
the hex key (13).
To replace the saw blade, carry out the same
steps in reverse order. Fit the new blade as
described.
Fitting the riving knife
-NOTE-
This kickback safety device must be fitted!
Leave the motor of the circular saw in the
same position (min. cutting depth) as was
required to fit the saw blade.
Attach the riving knife (12) using the socket-
head bolt (16) and the washer provided. At first,
only tighten the socket-head bolt (16) lightly.
Adjust the riving knife (12) so that the dis-
tance to the tips of the saw teeth and to the
lowest point of the saw blade is max. 5 mm
(see Figure). The distance to the toothed rim
of the saw blade must not exceed 5 mm.
