adapter (16) and to the extractor socket of the
blade guard (2).
A suitable extractor system has to be connected
to the outlet of the extractor adapter (16).
To remove the saw blade guard, proceed in
reverse order.
Important!
The guard hood (2) must always be lowered
over the workpiece before you begin to cut.
7.4. Setting the splitter (Fig. 3/6/7/8)
Important! Pull out the power plug.
Set the blade (4) to max. cutting depth, move to
0° position and lock in place.
Remove the saw blade guard (see 7.3).
Take out the table insert (6) (see 7.5).
Slacken the fixing screw (20).
7.4.1. Setting for maximum cuts (Fig. 6/7/8)
Push up the splitter (5) until the gap between the
saw table (1) and the upper edge of the splitter
(5) equals approx. 10 cm.
The distance between the blade (4) and the
splitter (5) should be 3-8 mm.
Retighten the screw (20) and mount the table
insert (6) (Fig. 7).
7.4.2. Setting for concealed cuts (Fig. 6/7/8)
Push down the splitter (5) to the point where the
tip of the splitter is 2 mm below the uppermost
saw tooth tip.
The distance between the splitter (5) and the
saw blade (4) should again be 3-8 mm (see Fig.
6).
Retighten the screw (20) and mount the table
insert (6).
Important! After you make a concealed cut,
be sure to refit the guard hood.
Please note that the cutting height will be
reduced to approx. 55 mm if you leave the
splitter in the lower position.
The setting of the splitter has to be checked
each time after changing the saw blade.
7.5 Changing the table insert (Figure 7)
To prevent increased likelihood of injury the
table insert should be changed whenever it is
worn or damaged.
Remove the saw blade guard (2).
Remove the 2 countersunk head screws (34).

7.6 Fitting/replacing the blade (Fig. 5)
Important! Pull out the power plug first.
Remove the table insert by undoing the two
countersunk head screws (see 7.5).
Undo the nut with a size 24 wrench on the nut
itself and a second fork wrench (size 13) on the
motor shaft (a) to apply counter-pressure.
Important! Turn the nut in the direction of
rotation of the saw blade.
Take off the outer flange and pull the old saw
blade off the inner flange by dropping the blade
at an angle.
Clean the blade flange thoroughly before fitting
the new blade.
Mount and fasten the new saw blade in reverse
order.
Important! Note the running direction. The
cutting angle of the teeth must point in
running direction, i.e. forwards (see the
arrow on the blade guard).
Refit and set the splitter (5) and the saw guard
(2) (see 7.3., 7.4.)
Check to make sure that all safety devices are
properly mounted and in good working condition
before you begin working with the saw again.
8.0. Using the saw
8.1. ON/OFF switch (Fig. 4)
To turn the saw on, press the green button .I. .
Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed
of rotation before commencing with the cut.
To turn the machine off again, press the red
button "0".
8.2. Cutting depth (Fig. 4)!
Turn the hand crank (8) to set the blade (4) to
the required cutting depth.
Turn anti-clockwise: larger cutting depth
Turn clockwise: smaller cutting depth
8.3. Parallel stop
8.3.1. Stop height
The parallel stop (7) supplied with the bench-
type circular saw has two different guide faces.
For thick material you must use the stop rail (25)
as shown in Fig. 12, for thin material you must
use the stop rail as shown in Fig.11.
To change over the stop rail (25) to the lower
guide face you have to slacken the two knurled
screws (26) in order to disconnect the stop rail
(25) from the holder (24).
Remove the two knurled screws (26) through the
