Operating modes

  • Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. A space of less than the height of one full tooth should be visible under the workpiece.

Loosen the clamping lever (19). For a smaller cutting depth, pull the saw away from the base plate (8); for a larger cutting depth, push the saw towards the base plate (8). Adjust the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Retighten the clamping lever (19).

We recommend that you place the power tool down on the front side of the protective guard (6).

Loosen the adjusting lever for mitre/bevel angle preselection (17). Swivel the saw to the side. Set the required mitre/bevel angle on the scale (14). Screw the adjusting lever (17) back on again.

Note: When making mitre cuts, the cutting depth is less than the value shown on the cutting depth scale (5).

The 0° cut mark (12) indicates the position of the saw blade when making a right-angled cut. The 45° cut mark (13) indicates the position of the saw blade when making a 45° cut.

For a precise cut, place the circular saw against the workpiece as shown in the figure. We recommend making a test cut.
