4. Set the angle indicator to the desired presetting for the miter cut.
There are three possible presettings: 22.5°, 45° and 56°.
5. Pivot the base plate to the stop.
6. Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
5.6
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.
5.6.1
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.
5.7
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.
5.7.1
Fitting / adjusting the fence
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet.
2. Slide the fence guide under the clamping screw.
3. Set the fence to the correct width for the cut.
4. Tighten the clamping screw.
5.8
Sawing with the guide rail.
Sawing with the guide rail can reduce the risk of kickback.
5.8.1
Inserting into / removing from the guide rail adapter
1. Remove the fence, if one is fitted.
2. Fit the front edge of the base plate into the front retaining lugs on the guide rail adapter.
3. Swing the rear edge of the base plate down fully into the guide rail adapter. The base plate must engage
fully with the rear retaining lug.
4. To remove, pull the rear retaining lug back slightly and remove the circular saw from the guide rail
adapter.
5.8.2
Longitudinal cuts at 0°
▶ Place the circular saw on the guide rail so that the rib fits into the groove in the adapter.
5.8.3
Longitudinal cuts at miter angles up to 56°
▶ Guide the circular saw with the outer edge of the guide rail adapter along the rib of the guide rail, as
otherwise the saw blade will contact the guide rail.
5.8.4
Cuts angled across the workpiece
The cutting angle indicated is the angle of deviation from a straight, right-angled cut.
