11.5 Saws with rail (special accessories)
1 Place the machine in the guides of the rail. If nec-
essary, reduce the guide play with the set screw
(13). If there is a danger of the set screws loos-
ening by themselves, they can be readjusted with
the Allen key supplied.
2 Switch on the machine with the on/off switch (4).
3 Press the plunge trigger (3).
4 Press the saw down to reach the sawing depth.
When first used, the rubber lip is sawn off and thus
provides splinter protection up to the saw blade.
5 Push the saw evenly forwards.
6 After finishing the saw cut, switch off the machine
and swivel the saw blade upwards.
11.6 Anti-tip device (Fig. 10)
When sawing with a rail, use the anti-tilt device (20)
supplied. This prevents the machine from tilting side-
ways when inclined.
This can prevent injuries to the body or damage to
the machine.
11.7 Sawing with extraction
1. Connect the suction hose to the suction port - Ø
38 mm (12).
11.8 Splinter guard (Fig. 1b)
The splinter guard (15) significantly improves the qual-
ity of the cutting edge of the sawn-off workpiece part
on the top side for 0° cuts.
1. Place the machine on the workpiece or guide rail.
2. Press the splinter guard (15) down until it rests on
the workpiece and tighten it with the rotary knob.
3. Saw in the splinter guard (15). When using the
splinter guard (15) for the first time, it is sawn off
to create an exact stop surface.
12. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the
extension cable used must also comply with these
regulations.
Important information
In the event of overloading, the motor will switch itself
off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor
can be switched back on again
