I hesitated to equip me with a circular saw, having a little afraid of these devices. After a lot of information, I finally opted for this model. Only one word to say: what FUN! Very handy, easy to use, it's a real pleasure to using this tool, which gives perfect results. The supplied parallel fence is very convenient, but its limits. I recommend buying the Bosch guide rail, which for a few extra euros allows for even the most difficult cuts. The chip collection device works fine, super useful not to have to get out the vacuum cleaner to a small cut. The design of the tool is really smart, very safe. Certainly we must be careful because it is a powerful and dangerous tool, but by following a few basic safety precautions, no problem. In short, I love: once again not disappointed Bosch!
