Mounting and Adjusting the Parallel
Fence (D23651, fi g. 5)
The parallel fence (r) is used for cutting parallel to the
edge of the workpiece.
MOUNTING
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob (l) to allow
the parallel fence to pass.
2. Insert the parallel fence (r) in the saw shoe (f) as
shown.
3. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (l).
ADJUSTING
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob (l) and set
the parallel fence (r) to the desired width.
The adjustment can be read on the scale (w).
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (l).
Rail Guide System
Guide rails, available in different lengths as
accessories, allow the use of the circular saw for
precise, straight clean cuts and simultaneously
protect the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact
angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be
completed with the guide rail system.
Clamps (z) are available to secure the guide rail (x)
to the workpiece (fig. 6). Use of these clamps (z)
ensure that the guide rail (x) is securely attached to
the workpiece (y) for safe working. Once the guide
rail is set to the cut line and securely fixed to the
workpiece there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTANT : The height scale on the unit is set for
using the saw without a guide rail. When using the
saw on the guide rail the difference in height will be
approximately 5.0 mm.
SETTING THE CIRCULAR SAW TO THE GUIDE RAIL
(FIG. 1, 7)
The clearance between the circular saw and the
guide rail (x) must be very small to achieve best
cutting results. The smaller this clearance the better
the straight line finish will be on the workpiece.
The clearance can be set with the two rail adjusters
(m, n) for each channel in the base for 0° cutting (m)
and for 1-45° bevel cutting (n). The rail adjusters
are precision cams that allow the reduction of
clearance between the unit and guide rail. Once
these adjusters have been set, sideways movement
of the saw during cutting is kept to a minimum while
allowing a smooth cutting action.
NOTE: The adjusters are set to minimum clearance
in the factory and may need adjusting and setting
before the unit is used. Use the following instructions
for setting the circular saw to the guide rail.
REMEMBER: Set all the rail adjusters on the saw to
the guide rail.
1. Undo the screw inside the rail adjuster to allow
for adjustment between the saw and the guide
rail.
2. Retract the lower guard and place the unit
on the guide rail, ensuring the blade is in the
highest position.
3. Rotate the adjuster until saw locks on guide rail.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the saw is securely
attached to the rail by trying to push the saw
forward. Ensure there is no movement of the
saw.
4. Rotate the adjuster back slightly until saw slides
easily along the rail.
5. Hold the rail adjuster in position and tighten the
screw again.
NOTE: ALWAYS adjust the system for use with
other rails.
The rail adjusters are now set up to minimise
sideways deviation when cutting with the saw on the
guide rail.
Before using the saw, the anti-splinter guard (aa) on
the guide rail will need tuning in. Refer to Tuning
the Anti-splinter Guard.
TUNING THE ANTI-SPLINTER GUARD
The guide rail (x) is equipped with an anti-splinter
guard (aa), which has to be tuned to the saw before
the first use.
The anti-splinter guard (aa) is situated on each edge
of the guide rail (fig. 7). The purpose of this anti-
splinter guard is to provide the user with a visible
blade cut line while reducing the chipping that
occurs along the workpiece cut edge during cutting.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the
Setting the Circular Saw to the Guide Rail
before cutting the splinter guard!
TUNING THE ANTI-SPLINTER GUARD (FIG. 8-11)
1. Place the guide rail (x) on a scrap piece of
wood (bb) with a minimum length of 100 mm
overhanging the workpiece. Use a clamp to
ensure that the guide rail is securely attached to
the workpiece. This will ensure accuracy.
2. Set the unit to a 15 mm depth of cut.
3. Place the front of the saw on the overhang end
of the guide rail, making sure that the blade is
positioned in front of the rail edge (fig. 9).
