# Practical advice

- Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be removed for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

The width of cut varies depending on the saw blade used.

Protect saw blades against shock and impact.

Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool when moving it in the cutting direction significantly reduces the service life of the application tools and can damage the power tool.

The sawing performance and the quality of the cut essentially depend on the condition and the tooth shape of the saw blade. This is why you should only use sharp saw blades that are suitable for the material being machined.

##

Choosing the right saw blade depends on the wood type, wood quality and whether cuts with or against the grain are required.

Making cuts in spruce with the grain produces long, spiral-shaped chips.

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

##

The parallel guide (13) allows you to make precise cuts along the edge of a workpiece and cut strips with the same dimensions.

##

For working on large workpieces or for cutting straight edges, you can securely fasten a board or rail to the workpiece as an auxiliary guide. The circular saw can be guided along the path of this auxiliary guide with the base plate.

##

Your power tool is equipped with a utility hook (30) for hanging it to a ladder, for example. Simply fold out the utility hook (30) to the required position.

- When the power tool is hanging by the utility hook, ensure that the saw blade is protected against unintended contact in order to prevent injury.

Fold the utility hook (30) in again when you want to begin work with the power tool.
