1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, assembly, and maintenance of your Einhell TC-TS 2025/2 U Bench-type Circular Saw. This powerful tool is designed for precise cutting of solid wood, wood fiberboard, and similar materials. Please read this manual thoroughly before initial use and keep it for future reference.
2. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the tool:
- Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with all controls, adjustments, and operating procedures before use.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Gloves are recommended for handling rough materials, but avoid loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts.
- Work Area: Ensure your work area is clean, well-lit, and free of clutter. Keep children and bystanders away.
- Power Connection: Connect the saw to a properly grounded power outlet. Do not use in damp or wet conditions.
- Blade Safety: Ensure the saw blade is sharp, clean, and correctly installed. Never operate the saw without the blade guard in place.
- Material Handling: Always use a push stick or push block when feeding small workpieces or when your hands are close to the blade. Never reach over the blade.
- Stability: Ensure the saw is stable and securely placed on a level surface before operation.
- Unplug When Not in Use: Disconnect the saw from the power supply before making adjustments, changing blades, or performing maintenance.

4. Setup
Follow these steps for initial assembly and setup of your circular saw:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage or missing parts.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the frame components according to the diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
- Mount the Saw Unit: Place the main saw unit onto the assembled base frame. Secure it using the provided fasteners.
- Install Saw Blade: If the blade is not pre-installed, carefully mount the 250mm carbide-tipped precision saw blade, ensuring the rotation direction matches the arrow on the saw. Use the appropriate tools for tightening the blade nut.
- Attach Blade Guard and Dust Extraction: Secure the transparent blade guard over the saw blade. Connect the dust extraction hose to the guard and the main dust port on the saw unit.
- Install Parallel and Angle Stops: Attach the parallel stop to the table and ensure it slides smoothly. Position the angle stop in its designated slot.
- Table Extensions: If desired, attach the left and right table extensions to expand the working surface for larger workpieces.
5. Operating Instructions
Proper operation ensures safety and optimal cutting performance.
5.1 Powering On/Off
- To turn on the saw, press the green 'ON' button.
- To turn off the saw, press the red 'OFF' button. The saw will stop quickly.
5.2 Adjusting Blade Height and Angle
The saw blade's height and angle can be adjusted using a single hand manoeuvre.
- Height Adjustment: Rotate the adjustment wheel to raise or lower the blade. For optimal cutting, the blade should extend slightly above the workpiece.
- Angle Adjustment: Tilt the saw blade to the desired angle (up to 45°) for miter cuts. The maximum cutting height at 90° is 85mm, and at 45° is 65mm.

Figure 5.3: Icon showing maximum cutting depth of 65mm at a 45-degree angle.
5.3 Using the Parallel Stop
The parallel stop is used for precise longitudinal cuts (ripping).
- Position the parallel stop to the desired width using the measurement scale on the table.
- Securely lock the parallel stop in place before starting the cut.
- Feed the workpiece steadily against the parallel stop and into the blade.
5.4 Using the Angle Stop
The angle stop allows for accurate miter cuts.
- Insert the angle stop into the T-slot on the table.
- Adjust the angle stop to the required angle (up to +/- 60°).
- Hold the workpiece firmly against the angle stop and feed it through the blade.
5.5 Dust Extraction
For a cleaner work environment and improved visibility, connect a suitable vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction port.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your saw.
- Cleaning: After each use, unplug the saw and remove sawdust and debris from the table, blade guard, and motor housing using a brush or vacuum. Do not use solvents.
- Blade Care: Inspect the saw blade regularly for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can cause kickback and poor cuts. Replace worn or damaged blades promptly.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts as indicated in the detailed service manual (if applicable).
- Cord Inspection: Check the power cord for any signs of damage or fraying. Replace immediately if damaged.
- Guard Functionality: Ensure all safety guards move freely and return to their proper positions.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Saw does not start | No power supply; faulty switch; motor overload. | Check power connection and circuit breaker; contact service if switch is faulty; allow motor to cool. |
| Blade not cutting cleanly / burning wood | Dull blade; incorrect blade for material; improper feed rate. | Replace or sharpen blade; use appropriate blade type; adjust feed rate. |
| Excessive vibration | Loose blade; damaged blade; unstable setup. | Tighten blade nut; replace damaged blade; ensure saw is on a stable surface. |
| Poor dust extraction | Clogged hose/port; vacuum not powerful enough. | Clear blockages; use a more powerful dust extractor. |
