open when the tool arm is guided downward. The retracting
blade guard must close again completely over the saw blade
when the tool arm is guided upward.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figures L1– L2)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch 26.
– Slide the laser beam using the sliding switch 37 to the left
or right depending on the preferred viewing direction. As a
result, the cutting line will be indicated on either the left or
right of the saw blade.
– If the cutting line is indicated by the laser beam on the left
of the saw blade, align your mark on the workpiece with the
right-hand edge of the laser line.
If the cutting line is indicated by the laser beam on the right
of the saw blade, align your mark on the workpiece with the
left-hand edge of the laser line.
Position of the Operator (see figure M)
 Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
Permissible Workpiece Dimensions
Maximum workpiece sizes:
Mitre/Bevel Angle
Horizontal Vertical
0° 0°
45° 0°
0° 45°
45° 45°
Minimum workpiece sizes (= all workpieces that can be
clamped left or right from the saw blade with the provided
quick-action clamp 22): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)
Cutting depth, max. (0°/0°): 70 mm
Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure N)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 25 if it is tightened. Push the tool arm
all the way towards the fences 9 and 11 and retighten the
locking screw 25.
– Set the required mitre angle as necessary.
 For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Switch on the machine.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downward with the handle 6.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 1 (wide workpieces), loosen
the locking screw 25 in case it is tightened.
– Set the required mitre angle as necessary.
 For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fences 9 and 11 until the
saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downward with the handle 6.
– Now push the tool arm toward the fences 9 and 11 and saw
through the workpiece with uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves) (see figure O)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a trench gap is to be
sawed.
– Swivel the depth stop 34 outward.
– Swing the tool arm downward by the handle 6 until the cut-
ting-depth indicator 36 displays the required cutting
depth on the cutting-depth scale 35.
– Turn adjusting screw 33, until the screw end touches
depth stop 34.
Height x Width
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure P)
70 x 305 mm
The material stop 10 can be used for easily sawing workpiec-
70 x 215 mm
es to the same length.
40 x 305 mm
– Loosen the clamping lever 50 and set the material stop 10
40 x 215 mm
to the required workpiece length.
– Retighten the clamping lever 50.
Replacing the Insert Plate (see figure Q)
The black insert plate 16 can become worn after prolonged
use of the power tool.
Replace a defective insert plate.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew the fastening screw 66 using the hex key 49 and
remove the old insert plate.
– Insert the new insert plate and screw the fastening screw
66 in tight again.
Sawing Profile Strips
Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two different ways:
– Placed against the fence
– Lying flat on the saw table
