be cut. To adjust the cutting width, release the
clamping screw 3, adjust the guide to the
required position and then re-tighten the
clamping screw 3. The parallel guide can be
mounted on either side of the baseplate in the
same way.
The parallel guide may be fitted in the reverse
position (with the guide pointing upwards). In
this position, it serves to increase the width of
the baseplate.
Adjusting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted as desired
by way of the cutting depth adjusting lever 1.
Set the cutting depth according to the scale
22. Release the cutting depth locking device
23, adjust as required, and then re-tighten
the locking device.
The quality of cut edges can be optimised by
ensuring that the cutting depth is set to a
depth at least 2 mm greater than the
thickness of the material being cut.
Adjusting the cutting angle (Fig. 1)
Release the cutting angle clamping screw 2
and bring the blade to the desired cutting
angle according to the scale 21. Retighten
the clamping screw 2. Before bringing the
baseplate back into its original position, clean
the parts to remove wood chips or dust and
dirt in order to ensure unobstructed
movement.
Plunge cutting function (Fig. 2)
Mark the section of the workpiece to be cut
out. Set the cutting depth on the saw to 0 but
do not re-tighten the cutting depth clamping
screw. Place the circular saw on the
workpiece and bring the rear mark on the
baseplate into alignment with the line on the
workpiece. In order to reduce the risk of
kick-back when starting cutting, a wooden

batten or similar stop can be securely
fastened to the workpiece in alignment with
the rear edge of the baseplate. Press the
circular saw down onto the workpiece and
back against this stop. Switch on the
machine and use the free hand to press the
cutting depth adjusting lever 1 down
smoothly until the desired plunge cutting
depth is reached. Continue the cut until the
mark at the front edge of the baseplate
meets the line on the workpiece. Switch off
the machine and lift the saw blade out of the
kerf once it has stopped rotating.
Note: Plunge cuts can be made at all angle
settings.
Auxiliary grip
The auxiliary grip 24 permits the saw to be
held and operated in the optimum,
ergonomic position.
6. Care, maintenance and
service
■ Always disconnect the supply cord plug
from the mains socket before beginning
work on the machine.
■ Keep the machine and the ventilation slots
20 clean at all times.
Resin deposits should be cleaned from
saw blades at regular intervals as a clean
blade improves performance. Resin deposits
can be removed by laying the blade in a bath of
paraffin (kerosene) or a commercially available
resin solvent for 24 hours.
Should movement of the depth adjustment
mechanism become stiff, the guide posts should
be lubricated on the spot.
■ The machine is greased adequately by the
manufacturer during assembly. It is recom-
mended that the machine is inspected at a Hilti
service centre after a long period of heavy use.
This will increase the machine's life expectan-
cy and avoid unnecessary repair costs.
■ Repairs to electrical parts may be carried out
only by trained electrical specialists.
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip
surfaces, clean and free from oil and
grease. Do not use cleaning agents
which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from
impactresistant plastic. Sections of the
grip are made from a synthetic rubber
material. Never operate the tool when the
ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the
ventilation slots carefully using a dry
brush. Do not permit foreign objects to
enter the interior of the tool. Clean the
outside of the tool at regular intervals with
a slightly damp cloth. Do not use a spray,
steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may nega -
tively affect the electrical safety of the tool.
6.1 Cleaning the safety devices
1. Remove the saw blade before cleaning
the safety devices.
2. Clean the safety devices carefully with a
dry brush.
3. Use a suitable tool to remove deposits or
wood chips from the inside surfaces of
the safety devices.
4. Fit the saw blade.
6.2 Checking the power tool after care
and maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance
work on the power tool, check that all
protective and safety devices are fitted and
that they function faultlessly.
To check the pivoting guard, open the
guard fully by moving the guard operating
lever.
The pivoting guard must close quickly and
completely when the guard operating lever
is released.
