Fitting / adjusting the parallel guide | Hilti WSC 70-A36 specification

front opening for the saw blade and at the end of the base plate.

1.Secure the workpiece so that it cannot move.

2.Position the workpiece so that the saw blade is free to move under the workpiece.

3.Check to ensure that the switch on the power tool is in the off-position.

4.Fit the battery into the power tool.

5.Place the power tool with the base plate on the workpiece in such a way that the blade still has no contact with the workpiece.

6.Switch the power tool on by pressing the switch- on interlock and then pressing the on/off switch while the switch-on interlock is depressed, .

7.Guide the power tool along the cutting line on the workpiece at a suitable speed.

7.6Sawing using the parallel guide (accessory)

Use of the two-arm parallel guide allows precise cuts to be made along the edge of the workpiece or, respectively, strips of even width to be cut.

The parallel guide can be fitted on either side of the base plate.

7.7Fitting / adjusting the parallel guide 7

1.Pull the battery out of the power tool.

2.Release the clamping screws on the base plate.

3.Slide both arms of the parallel guide under the clamping screws.

4.Set the desired cutting width.

5.Tighten the clamping screws.

7.8Using the saw on the guide rail 8

7.8.1 Longitudinal cuts at 0 °

Place the saw on the guide rail so that the rib fits into the groove in the base plate.

7.8.2 Longitudinal cuts at up to 50 °

Guide the saw so that the outer edge of the base plate runs along the rib on the guide rail. The saw blade will otherwise come into contact with the guide rail.

7.8.3Cuts at an angle across the surface of the workpiece

NOTE

The cutting angle indicated is the angle of deviation from a straight, right-angled cut.

1.Position the guide rail with the zero mark at the edge of the workpiece and then pivot the rail until the desired angle shown on the angle scale is opposite the zero mark.

2.Use the two screw clamps to secure the guide rail.

7.9Using the saw with a dust and chip removal system 9

NOTE

The hand-held circular saw is equipped with a hose connector suitable for use with conventional vacuum cleaner hoses with a diameter of 27 mm.

CAUTION

Dusts are hazardous to the health and can cause respiratory or skin diseases and allergic reactions.

WARNING

Certain dusts are considered to be carcinogenic (cause cancer). These include mineral dust as well as oak and/or beech wood dust, particularly in conjunc- tion with additional substances used for the treatment of wood (chromate, wood preservatives).

CAUTION

Wherever possible, use a suitable mobile vacuum dust removal system such as the WVC 40ತM (wood) or VCU 40ತM (wood and mineral materials) for the application concerned. Use a respiratory protector of the P2 filter class with half-mask facepiece if no dust removal system is available or its use is impossible. In addition, to keep the concentration of dust low, always ensure good ventilation.

CAUTION

Commercial and industrial users must consult the responsible trade association to clarify the situation regarding special requirements applicable to working on other materials.

7.10Using the saw without a dust and chip removal system 10

NOTE

The power tool can also be used with a push-on chip deflector nozzle.

Turn the nozzle to the desired direction of ejection so that the chips and dust are deflected away from you.
