Practical advice

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.

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.

Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type, wood quality and whether cuts with or against the grain are required.

Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-shaped chips. This can lead to the chip ejector (16) becoming clogged.

Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental to health. Therefore, work only with dust extraction.

Note: Only use a sharp saw blade that is suitable for non-ferrous metal. This guarantees a clean cut and will prevent the saw blade from jamming.

Switch on the power tool and bring it into contact with the workpiece, sawing it carefully. Then continue working with less feed and without interruption.

For profiles, always begin the cut on the narrow side; for U-shaped profiles, never begin the cut on the open side. Support long profiles to prevent the saw blade jamming and the power tool kicking back.

The parallel guide (10) allows you to make precise cuts along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same dimensions.

Loosen the wing bolt (8) and slide the scale of the parallel guide (10) through the guide in the base plate (12). Adjust the desired cutting width as a scale value at the corresponding (30) or (29) cut mark, see the section "Cut marks". Retighten the wing bolt (8).

You can use the guide rail (31) to make straight cuts.

The adhesive layer prevents the guide rail from slipping and preserves the surface of the workpiece.

The guide rail (31) can be extended. To do this, turn the guide rail (31) 180° and fit both guide rails (31) together. Press the button (32) to lock them in place. To detach them, press the button (32) on the other side and pull the guide rails (31) apart.

The guide rail (31) has two marks on its upper side. Use the side with the "90°" mark for right-angled cuts, and the side with the "45°" mark for all other mitre/bevel cuts.

The rubber lip on the guide rail provides an anti-splinter guard for 90° and 45° cuts that prevents the surface of wooden materials from splintering when sawn.

The rubber lip adapts to your circular saw during the first cut, when some of it is sawn off.

Note: The guide rail (31) must be always be flush with the side of the workpiece being sawn into and must not protrude.

If the guide rail (31) does protrude over the end of the workpiece, do not rest the circular saw on the guide rail (31) without holding on tightly to the circular saw. The guide rail (31) is made of plastic and cannot support the weight of the circular saw.

Fasten the guide rail (31) to the workpiece using the special screw clamps (33). Make sure that the curvature on the inside of the screw clamp (33) fits in the corresponding recess on the guide rail (31).

Switch on the power tool and push it gently in the cutting direction, guiding it evenly.
