Operating tips
Sawing wood
Selection of the appropriate saw blade depends
on the type of wood, the quality of the wood and
whether longitudinal or transverse cuts are
required. When cutting spruce longitudinally, long,
spiral shavings are produced. Beech and oak dust
are particularly dangerous to health, so always
work with a dust extraction system.
Sawing plastic
-NOTE-
Sawing plastic, in particular PVC, produces long,
spiral-shaped shavings which may be electrostati-
cally charged. This can lead to clogging of the
sawdust ejector (15) and cause the swing guard
cover (11) to jam. We recommend that you use a
dust extraction system. Switch the saw on, apply
it to the workpiece and carefully begin to saw. Work
quickly and without interrupting the cut to prevent
the saw teeth sticking.
Safety regulations and notes which must
be observed
Cracked or distorted blades must not be
used. Work only with good, sharp saw blades!
Never use high-alloy HSS blades in this saw.
Saw blades which are not in accordance with
the specifications listed in these operating
instructions must not be used.
Saw blades must not be braked by applying
counterpressure from the side after the drive
has been switched off.
Check that all moving parts of the blade guard
function correctly without pinching.
The swing guard must not be locked in open
position.
It must be ensured that all devices which
cover the blade are functioning properly.
Pull the plug out of the socket or remove the
mains cable module from the handle before
replacing the saw blade or performing any
servicing work.
1400HKS,1400DS-EN / 1106
Saw blades with a hub thickness greater than
the width of the riving knife or a tooth offset
width smaller than the width of the riving knife
must not be used.
The riving knife must not be removed from the
device! It must always be used – except when
making insertion cuts.
Guide the saw in a straight line without any
tilting motion to prevent the saw blade getting
jammed in the workpiece. Should the blade
become jammed: release the switch immedi-
ately!
Never reach under the workpiece! Risk of
injury!
Observe the information in the operating
instructions when replacing saw blades.
Remove the key from the device after use!
Adapt the feed (pressure) to the thickness of
the material. Feeding too quickly results in
motor overload, increased wear on the saw
blade and ragged cuts.
The workpiece must be well secured or fixed.
The saw blade must reach the maximum
max. no-load speed before you begin the cut.
It is essential to ensure that the clamp levers
for setting the cutting depth and bevel cuts
are properly secured.
The workpiece must be checked for foreign
bodies. Do not cut through nails!
Keep the cable out of the cutting range of the
saw! Always route the cable away from the
circular saw towards the rear.
Never lift the saw off the workpiece until the
saw blade has come to a standstill.
Never put your fingers into the sawdust ejector
(risk of injury)!
The device must always be switched on and
off using the trigger switch, never by plugging
the device into the mains socket or pulling the
plug out of the mains socket or by inserting/
pulling out the mains cable on the circular
saw!
Wear protective goggles! Wear hearing protec-
tion! Wear a dust protection mask!
The saw blade diameter must not exceed
Ø 190 mm.
