Open the automatic blade guard with the re-
lease lever (7a) and let it go again as soon as
the saw blade penetrates the workpiece. The
automatic blade guard must be allowed to operate
automatically for all saw cuts.
d. Do not put the saw down on a work bench or
the floor without the automatic blade guard
covering the saw blade. If unprotected, a rotat-
ing saw blade moves the saw against the cutting
direction and saws whatever is in its way. Always
be aware that the saw blade takes some time to
stop.
Special safety advice for circular saws and riv-
ing knives
a. Use the riving knife matched to the installed
saw blade. The riving knife must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the width of
the teeth.
b. Adjust the riving knife as described in the op-
erating instructions. If its thickness, position or
alignment is incorrect, this can lead to the riving
knife not effectively preventing kickback.
c. Always use the riving knife, except for plunge
cuts. After completing plunge cutting, put the riv-
ing knife back in place. The riving knife interferes
with plunge cuts and can result in kickback.
d. For the riving knife to work properly, it must
be within the saw gap. The riving knife is inef-
fective in preventing kickback for short cuts.
e. Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is
bent out-of-true. Even a slight defect can cause
the blade guard to close too slowly.
Working safely:
• If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug
immediately out of the mains socket.
• Never use the device for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
• Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil
or grease.
• If the saw is used whilst fixed in place on a saw ta-
ble then the saw table must have a restart cut-out.
• Make sure the device is switched on before placing
it against the workpiece.
• Always work away from your body.
• Do not saw materials containing asbestos.
• The course of the cut must have no obstructions
above or below it.
• The saw blade must not project more than 3 mm
out of the workpiece.
• When you are sawing, always make sure that you
do not cut through any nails, screws or the like.
• Do not work with the device in the overhead posi-
tion.
• Protect the saw blade from sharp blows or impacts
and prevent it from becoming tilted.
• When you switch off the saw, allow the blade to

slow down naturally - do not assist this process in
any way.
• Cracked or distorted blades are not to be used.
HSS (High Speed Steel) saw blades are not to be
used.
• Before carrying out any work on the saw, e.g. set-
ting the base plate etc. always pull the mains plug
out of the mains socket.
• Never remove sawdust or splinters whilst the saw
is running.
• Have a suitable, tested vacuum removal device
attached to the saw when working with woods or
materials that create dusts that may be hazardous
to health.
• Always use the safety devices integrated into the
circular saw, e.g. the safety lock-out (2) and auto-
matic blade guard (7).
• Ensure that all moving parts of the saw blade pro-
tection system function properly and all the assem-
blies and components involved in covering the saw
blade are in perfect working order.
• Do not lock on the ON / OFF switch (3) in hand-guid-
ed operation.
Information on the rechargeable battery
1. The battery pack of the rechargeable device is
not charged when delivered. It is therefore nec-
essary to charge the battery before first com-
missioning.
2. For optimum battery capacity avoid deep dis-
charge cycles! Charge your battery frequently.
3. Store your battery in a cool place, ideally at 15°C
and with at least 40% charge.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to natural age-
ing. The rechargeable battery must be replaced
no later than when its capacity is just 80% of the
capacity in new condition! Weakened cells in an
aged battery pack are no longer able to cope
with the high capacity requirements and therefore
constitute a safety risk.
5. Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into an
open fire. Risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite or burn rechargeable batteries.
7. Do not deep discharge rechargeable batter-
ies! Deep discharge damages the battery cells.
The most frequent cause of deep discharge in
battery packs is lengthy storage or a lack of use
of partially discharged rechargeable batteries.
End the working process as soon as the capaci-
ty is notably reduced or the protection electronics
trigger. Only store the rechargeable battery after
fully charging.
8. Protect rechargeable batteries or device from
overloading! Overloading quickly leads to over-
heating and cell damage inside the rechargea-
ble battery housing, without overheating being
externally visible.
9. Avoid damage and impacts! Replace recharge-
