CAUTION: Check whether the circular hand saw is mounted parallel to the opening in the split insert. If necessary, the circular hand saw
must be realigned (Fig. 14.2 and Fig. 14.3).
Using circular hand saws with wide base plates
If the dimension from the centre of the saw blade to the outer edge of the circular hand saw's base plate is wider than 128 mm,
the two long side stops must be used during mounting. The two side stops illustrated in "Close-up F" simultaneously act as stops
for the circular hand saw (Fig. 14.10). Do not use circular hand saws with base plate dimensions greater than the maximum values
indicated (Fig. 13).
Connection to the power supply: Insert the connector plug of the circular hand saw into the safety switch and connect an extension
cord from the safety switch to the mains power socket (Fig. 15.1). The extension cord is not included in the scope of delivery.
CAUTION: Press the thermostatic switch before operating for the first time. If the power is interrupted due to excess voltage,
wait 5 - 10 min. and press the thermostatic switch. The ON switch can then be pressed (Fig. 15.2).
Press the red button (OFF) on the safety switch. Then attach the switch clamp to the circular hand saw (Fig. 15.3). Now press the green
button (ON) and check that the saw blade rotates freely in the split insert (Fig. 15.4), then press the red button (OFF) again.
CAUTION: Always pull out the mains plug if the table is not in use or when folding up the table.
The MASTER cut 2500 is now ready for use.
STATIONARY SAWING WITH THE CIRCULAR HAND SAW
CAUTION: Always work with the protective cover and switch on dust extraction at the protective cover.
Sawing with the angle stop
Push the angle stop into the slot (Fig. 16.1). Make sure that the black end of the stop runs as closely as possible under the protective
cover so that the cover can be lifted (Fig. 16.2). Now retract the angle stop and rest the workpiece against the angle stop. Switch on
the circular hand saw at the safety switch. Push the workpiece at the angle stop towards the circular saw in the direction of the arrow
as illustrated (Fig. 16.3) until the blade cuts all the way through the workpiece. Then switch off the circular hand saw using the safety
switch.
CAUTION: Always make sure that your hands are kept at a sufficient distance from the rotating saw blade (danger of injury).
Workpieces with heights from min. 15 mm to max. 60 mm can be sawn with the angle stop as it is currently mounted. If the workpiece
height is less than 15 mm, the angle stop guide must be altered (Fig. 16.4 to Fig. 16.7). The angle guide makes it possible to saw
workpieces at angles ranging between 0° and 65°. Loosen the handle screw, set the required angle and firmly tighten the handle screw
again (Fig. 16.8). You can then use the saw as illustrated in Fig. 16.1 to 16.3.
Sawing with the parallel guide
Start by mounting the parallel stop loosely. Insert the parallel stop into the guide with the eccentric levers on the table open. Align the
stop parallel with the guide using the scale printed on the guide profile. Close the two eccentric levers and tighten the fastening bolts.
Make sure that the parallel stop is aligned parallel with the circular saw blade (Fig. 17.1). The guide of the angle stop must then be
mounted at the parallel stop to prevent the workpiece being knocked back during sawing. Please use the illustrated fastening parts on
the angle stop for this. Loosely install the two bolts and washers and the square nuts at the parallel stop (Fig. 17.2). Then push the
guide as illustrated at the parallel stop into the two square nuts. The end of the guide must not be inserted past the end of the circular
saw blade (Fig. 17.3). Tighten both bolts. Release the two eccentric levers and set the required cutting width, making sure that the
parallel stop is aligned parallel with the circular saw blade. Then close the two eccentric levers. Now switch on the circular hand saw at
the safety switch. Push the workpiece towards the circular saw in the direction of the arrow as illustrated (Fig. 17.4) until the blade cuts
all the way through the workpiece. Then switch off the circular hand saw using the safety switch. Always use the push stick included in
the scope of delivery for narrow workpieces (Fig. 17.5). The parallel stop can also be mounted on the left of the circular saw blade if
necessary. The guide must be offset by one row of holes for this (Fig. 17.6). Refer to Fig. 17.1 to Fig. 17.3 for the necessary mounting
steps.
Vertical mitre cuts
The circular hand saw must be realigned for vertical mitre cuts. Start by removing the split insert (Fig. 18.1).
Then raise the machine plate at the recessed grip (Fig. 18.2). Now remove the machine plate (Fig. 18.3). Retract the protective
pendulum cover on the circular hand saw and reinsert the split insert as far as it will go (Fig. 18.4). Place the mounted machine plate
on the table as illustrated (Fig. 18.5). Loosen the four clamping claws and the four side stops. Set the required mitre angle on the
circular hand saw. Move the base plate parallel at the two remaining stops in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 18.6). Make sure that
the saw blade can rotate freely in the split insert. Then fasten the four side stops and the four clamping claws (Fig. 18.7). Now place
the machine plate together with the circular hand saw on the table and remove the split insert. Position the machine plate on the front
clamping devices. Then lower it onto the table plate with one hand on the recessed grip. Allow the machine plate to engage and then
reinsert the split insert (Fig. 14.6 to Fig. 14.9). The table is now ready for the vertical mitre cut (Fig. 18.8). If necessary, the protective
cover can be adjusted laterally using the adjusting screw so that the saw blade can turn freely and with sufficient space under
the protective cover (Fig. 18.9).
