Working with the hand-held
circular saw
Always hold the circular saw firmly.
The hinged guard hood will be pushed back
automatically by the workpiece.
Never apply force! Advance the circular saw gently
and steadily.
The off-cut piece should be to the right of the
circular saw so that the wide part of the base plate
is supported over its entire surface.
When sawing along a marked line, guide the
circular saw along the corresponding groove.
Clamp small pieces of wood securely before
sawing. Never hold them in your hand.
Always observe the safety regulations! Wear
goggles!
Do not use defective saw blades or blades with
cracks or flaws.
Do not use flanges or flange nuts with a hole
which is larger or smaller than that of the saw
blade used.
Do not try to stop the saw blade with your hand or
by applying pressure to the side of the blade.
The hinged guard must not jam and must return to
its original position once work is completed.
Before plugging in the circular saw, check that the
hinged guard is functioning properly.
Important!
Wear ear muffs and goggles.
