5.4 Setting the miter cut angle
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet.
2. Release the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
3. Pivot the base plate to the desired miter cut angle.
➥ The miter cutting angle is shown on the miter cut angle scale.
4. Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
5.5 Cutting line indicator
At the front edge of the base plate of the circular saw is a line indicator for straight cuts and miter cuts (0°
and 45°). This permits accurate cutting at the desired miter angle. The edge of the line indicator corresponds
to the inside of the saw blade. There is a cutting line indicator at the opening for the saw blade at the front
end of the base plate.
5.5.1 Sawing along a line
Secure the workpiece to prevent movement.
Position the workpiece so that the saw blade is free to rotate beneath it.
Check that the on/off switch on the product is in the "off" position.
Position the forward section of the circular saw's base plate on the workpiece but do not bring the
blade into contact with the workpiece.
1. Switch on the circular saw.
2. Guide the circular saw along the cutting line on the workpiece at a suitable speed.
5.6 Sawing with the fence
The single-arm fence can be used to make accurate cuts along the edge of a workpiece or to rip strips of
equal width. The fence can be fitted on either side of the base plate.
The twin-arm fence can be used only with the large base plate
When installing the fence, make sure that it is installed right way round.
5.7 Sawing with the guide rail.
Sawing with the guide rail can reduce the risk of kickback.
5.7.1 Inserting into / removing from the guide rail adapter
When using saws with a small base plate, please use a guide rail adapter that fits the guide rail.
1. Remove the fence, if one is fitted.
2. Fit the base plate into the rear retaining lugs of the guide rail adapter.
3. Bring the front edge of the base plate down fully into the guide rail adapter. The base plate must engage
fully with the front retaining lug.
4. To remove, pull the front retaining lug forward slightly and remove the circular saw from the guide rail
adapter.
5.7.2 Longitudinal cuts at 0°
▶ Place the circular saw on the guide rail with the groove marked "0°" on the rib on the rail.
5.7.3 Longitudinal cuts at angles up to 50°
CAUTION
Risk of damage If the saw is engaged in the wrong groove, the saw blade will collide with the guide rail.
▶ Place the saw in the correct groove.
▶ Place the saw on the guide rail with the groove marked "1°- 50°" on the rib on the rail.
