Before Putting into Operation
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Checking the Adjustment of the Riving
Knife
For safety reasons, the riving knife 7 must always
be used. The riving knife prevents the saw blade
from jamming during lengthways cuts.
The adjustment takes place at the maximum cut-
ting depth.
Loosen the screw 3, adjust the riving knife 7 and
retighten the screw.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
To achieve an optimum cut, the saw blade
must not protrude more than 3 mm at the
most from the material.
Loosen the depth-of-cut adjustment by turning the
handle 10 and lift or lower the circular saw from
the base 13:
Raise for smaller cutting depths
Lower for greater cutting depths
Set the desired depth on the cutting depth
scale 18.
Retighten handle 10 again.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Loosen wing bolt 11.
Swing the machine to the side until the desired
cutting angle is set on the scale 19.
Retighten wing bolt 11 again.
Note: For mitre cutting, the cutting depth is
smaller than the value shown on the cutting depth
scale 18.
Cutting Marks
The notch 20 serves as the cut mark and indi-
cates the positon of the saw blade.
Note: It is best to carry out a trial cut.
Initial Operation
Check for correct mains voltage: The voltage
of the power source must agree with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-
nected to 220 V.

Press the On/Off switch 16 and hold pressed.
For safety reasons the On/Off switch of
the machine cannot be locked; it must
