(dia. 160 mm) at maximum cutting depth and using
the guide rail.
C) Aluminium processing
When processing aluminium, the fol-
lowing measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the motor
housing.
– Use a aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
WARNING
Any maintenance or repair work that requires
opening of the motor or gear housing should only
be carried out by an authorised Customer Service
Centre (name supplied by your dealer)!
Maintenance or repair work carried out by an
unauthorised person can lead to the wrong con-
nection of the power leads or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
WARNING
To prevent accidents, always remove the plug
from the power supply socket before carrying out
any maintenance or repair work on the tool!
Do not use compressed air to clean the electrical
tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the tool in
this way, as you could let foreign objects in
through the openings of the tool housing.
CAUTION
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastic parts.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
Gasoline, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK),
Carbonyl Chloride, cleaning solutions containing
Chlorine, Ammonia, and household cleaners
containing Ammonia.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with petroleum but thin-walled profiles (up to
3 mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
D) Plaster and cement-bonded fibre boards
Due to the high build-up of dust, use of a cover
ABSA-TS55 (accessory) mounted to the side of the
protective cover is recommended.

Service and maintenance

The machine is equipped with special carbon brush-
es. If they are worn, the power is interrupted auto-
matically and the machine comes to a standstill.
In this case, take the unit to an authorised Custom-
er Service Centre and have the carbon brushes
changed.
Observe the following instructions:
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the housing clean
and free of blockages.
Use an extractor on all the openings of the ma-
chine to remove wood chips and splinters.
After being removed away from the workpiece, the
machine automatically returns to its basic position,
the saw blade retracts into the protective cover and
the cut-in and release block engages once again. If
this no longer functions, stop using the hand-oper-
ated circular saw and have it repaired immediately
by an authorised Customer Service Centre.
The guide wedge must be aligned with the saw
blade, and should not be crooked. A faulty guide
wedge must be replaced immediately. Under no cir-
cumstances use the saw without the guide wedge
because of the increased risk of recoil.
Even with proper usage the teeth of the saw blade
become blunt in time. Change the saw blade as
soon as you notice that you need a greater force to
push the machine during sawing or the quality of
cut has deteriorated. Take blunt saw blades back to
an authorised Customer Service Centre for re-
sharpening. Take the saw blades out when you want
to clean them of resin and wood. Use kerosene for
cleaning the saw blades.
Wear protective goggles.
