Protection Against Deep Discharging

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging 
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is 
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective 
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.

Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of 
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.

Sawing performance and cutting quality depend essentially 
on the condition and the tooth form of the saw blade. There-
fore, use only sharp saw blades that are suited for the material 
to be worked.

Sawing Wood

The correct selection of the saw blade depends on the type 
and quality of the wood and whether lengthway or crossway 
cuts are required.

When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral chips are 
formed.

Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental to health. 
Therefore, work only with dust extraction.

Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)

The parallel guide 

8

 enables exact cuts along a workpiece 

edge and cutting strips of the same dimension.

Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)

For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a board or 
strip can be clamped to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide; 
the base plate of the circular saw can be guided alongside the 
auxiliary guide.

Sawing with Guide Rail (see figure G)

The guide rail 

33

 is used to carry out straight cuts.

Note: 

Use the guide rail 

33

 only for right-angled cuts. When 

using for mitre cuts, the guide rail 

33

 can become damaged.

The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from slipping and 
protects the surface of the workpiece. The coating of the 
guide rail allows the circular saw to glide easily.

Place the circular saw directly onto the guide rail 

33

. Fasten 

the guide rail 

33

 with suitable clamping devices, e. g., screw 

clamps, on the workpiece in such a manner that the narrow 
leg of the guide rail 

33

 faces toward the saw blade.

The guide rail 33 must not extend beyond the face side of 
the workpiece where the cut is to be started.

Switch the machine on and guide it in the cutting direction ap-
plying moderate and steady feed.

Two guide rails can be connected using the connection piece 

34

. Clamping is carried out with the four screws located in the 

connection piece.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between 
– 20 ° C and 50 ° C. As an example, do not leave the battery in 
the car in summer.

Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, 
clean and dry brush.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-
cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning



Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport 
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. 

There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating 
the On/Off switch.



For safe and proper working, always keep the machine 
and ventilation slots clean.

The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely 
and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area 
around the retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and 
chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.

Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-
rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must 
be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.

Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts. 
Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.
