SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Before inserting the battery pack into the saw always check that the on/off switch º is working
properly and that when you release it, the switch returns into the OFF setting.
This circular saw is fitted with a switch lock
¾. The on/off switch º does not lock itself on.
To switch on first press the switch lock ¾ and then (keeping the switch lock pressed) press the
on/off switch º.
Once the saw is running you can release the switch lock again.
To switch off the saw, release the on/off switch º.
OPERATION
Hold the saw in a firm grip. With the blade not yet rotating, set the guide plate · down on
to the workpiece to be cut. Switch the saw on and wait until the blade is rotating at full speed.
Now, keeping the machine level, push it evenly over the workpiece surface until the cut is
completed.
To achieve a clean cut, use the second hand grip
µ and cut in a straight line, travelling over
the workpiece at an even speed.
CAUTION:
1. The riving knife must always be correctly fitted (except for plunge cutting).
2. Never attempt to bring the saw blade to a standstill by pressing on its side.
3. If the circular saw is used continuously until the battery is completely discharged, then you should
let the machine rest for 15 minutes before starting it again with a freshly charged battery.
