The 0° cut mark (8) indicates the position of the saw blade
when making a right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (9) indic-
ates the position of the saw blade when making a 45° cut.
For a precise cut, place the circular saw against the work-
piece as shown in the figure. We recommend making a test
cut.

discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a pro-
tective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
ECO Mode
GKS 18V-68 GC
If the power tool is operated in the energy-saving ECO mode,
the battery life may be up to 30 % longer.
