correctly. The saw blade guard must be in closed
position.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction

the saw blade touches the workpiece or
other materials.
Holding the Circular Saw (fig. A)

saw blade leaves the workpiece, clamp it with
the back facing the saw blade.
• Follow the line drawn on the workpiece using the
mark (18) and lead the cord away in line with the
rear of the tool.
• In case of a bevel angle of 45° follow the line
drawn on the workpiece using the mark (17).
Dust extraction (fig. A)
