Practical advice

Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery from the power tool. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

The width of cut varies depending on the saw blade used.

Protect saw blades against shock and impact.

Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction in order to achieve a high cut quality. Applying too much pressure will significantly reduce the service life of application tools and can damage the power tool.

Always work with uniform feed and ensure that the speed of the saw blade stays constant. Avoid increasing pressure (e.g. when working with damp wood, pressure-treated construction timber or waste wood) and the resulting speed reduction in order to prevent the saw blade teeth from overheating.

The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essentially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades that are suitable for the material being machined.

When starting or continuing a sawing process, centre the saw blade in the sawing gap and ensure that the saw teeth are not caught in the workpiece. This prevents kickback or the saw blade moving out of the workpiece.

Sawing with the parallel guide (see figure D)

The parallel guide (14) allows you to make precise cuts along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same dimensions.

Sawing with an auxiliary guide (see figure E)

For working on large workpieces or for cutting straight edges, you can securely fasten a board or rail to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide. The circular saw can be guided along the path of this auxiliary guide with the base plate.
