4.6 Laying the connection cable
Danger
While working, pay attention to how
the connecting cable is laid. A
poorly laid connecting cable can
impair safety functions and working
functions and come into contact
with the tool.
How to lay the cable is shown in Fig. 5 by way of
example.
Lead the connecting cable away from the machine in
the direction of the cable sleeve. Always keep the
connecting cable as far away as possible from the
working tool. For support, use the Velcro fastener on
the extraction connection.

Operation
5.1 Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must be
made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular attention to the chapter "Safety instructions".
5.2 Switching on and off
• Switching on: Press the switch-on lock 7 (Fig. 2)
forward to unlock it. Then, with the switch-on lock
depressed, press gearshift lever 8.
As this is a switch without locking device, the machine
will only run for as long as this gearshift lever is
pressed.
The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free
acceleration when the machine is switched on and
under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting.
In addition, this electronic system adjusts the motor
down in case of overload, i.e. the saw blade will stop.
Switch the machine off then. Then switch the machine
on again and continue sawing at a reduced feed
speed.
The setting wheel 20 (Fig. 2) can be used to adjust the
tool speed in a continuously variable manner between
2250 and 4400 rpm.

• Switching off: To switch off, release the gearshift
lever 8. The built-in automatic brake limits the saw
blade slowing time to approx. 5 s. The switch-on
lock automatically takes effect again and secures
the portable circular saw against accidental switch-
on.
5.3 Cutting depth adjustment
The cutting depth is continuously variable between 0
and 88 mm.
Proceed as follows:
• Press the push-button 11 (Fig. 1) and adjust the
cutting depth with the plunge lever 6.
• The cutting depth can be read off scale 13 on the
cover. The surface of plunge lever 6 with the red
background serves as indicator.

Always set the cutting depth

thickness to be cut.
