front opening for the saw blade and at the end of the
base plate.
1. Secure the workpiece so that it cannot move.
2. Position the workpiece so that the saw blade is
free to move under the workpiece.
3. Check to ensure that the switch on the power tool
is in the off-position.
4. Fit the battery into the power tool.
5. Place the power tool with the base plate on the
workpiece in such a way that the blade still has
no contact with the workpiece.
6. Switch the power tool on by pressing the switch-
on interlock and then pressing the on/off switch
while the switch-on interlock is depressed, .
7. Guide the power tool along the cutting line on the
workpiece at a suitable speed.
7.6 Sawing using the parallel guide (accessory)
Use of the two-arm parallel guide allows precise cuts
to be made along the edge of the workpiece or,
respectively, strips of even width to be cut.
The parallel guide can be fitted o n either side of the
base plate.
7.7 Fitting / adjusting the parallel guide 7
1. Pull the battery out of the power tool.
2. Release the clamping screws on the base plate.
3. Slide both arms of the parallel guide under the
clamping screws.
4. Set the desired cutting width.
5. Tighten the clamping screws.
7.8 Using the saw on the guide rail 8
7.8.1 Longitudinal cuts at 0 °
Place the saw on the guide rail so that the rib fits into
the groove in the base plate.
7.8.2 Longitudinal cuts at up to 50 °
Guide thesaw so that the outer edge of thebase plate
runs along the rib on the guide rail. The saw blade
will otherwise come into contact with the guide rail.
7.8.3 Cuts at an angle across the surface of the
workpiece
NOTE
The cutting angle indicated is the angle of deviation
from a straight, right-angled cut.
1. Position the guide rail with the zero mark at the
edge of the workpiece and then pivot the rail until
the desired angle shown on the angle scale is
opposite the zero mark.
2. Use the two screw clamps to secure the guide
rail.
7.9 Using the saw with a dust and chip removal
system 9
NOTE
The hand-held circular saw is equipped with a hose
connector suitable for use with conventional vacuum

(cause cancer). These include mineral dust as well as
oak and/or beech wood dust, particularly in conjunc-
tion withadditional substancesusedfor thetreatment
of wood (chromate, wood preservatives).
CAUTION
Wherever possible, use a suitable mobile vacuum
dust removal system such as the WVC 40M(wood)
or VCU 40M (wood and mineral materials) for the
application concerned. Use a respiratory protector of
the P2 filter class with half-mask facepiece if no dust
removal system is available or its use is impossible.
In addition, to keep the concentration of dust low,
always ensure good ventilation.
CAUTION
Commercial and industrial users must consult the
responsible trade association to clarify the situation
regarding special requirements applicable to working
on other materials.
7.10 Using the saw without a dust and chip
removal system 
