6.2 Using the circular saw
• Adjust the cutting depth, cutting angle and
parallel stop (see section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4)
• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
depressed. Only then should you connect the
mains plug to a suitable socket.

contact with the workpiece.
• Hold the circular saw rmly with both hands.
• Before you start your sawing work on the

swing guard hood (19) slightly. Starting the
sawing work is then easier.

full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along
the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on 
the saw blade as you do so.

• Do not slow down the saw blade after you 
switch it o by pressing it sideways.
• Important! Do not put down the machine until 
the saw blade has reached a complete standstill.
