- Before switching the plunge saw on, make sure the saw
blade is correctly mounted and that mobile parts can move
freely.
After switching on the saw, you must wait until the saw blade
(15) has reached the maximum speed before you perform the
cut.
Switching the plunge saw on and off
- To switch on the plunge saw, press the ON/OFF switch
(8). The motor will start.
- To switch off the plunge saw, release the ON/OFF switch
(8).
After having performed all the above procedures and opera-
tions, you may begin cutting.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Always keep hands away from the cutting area and do not try
to approach it when the machine is running.
Working with the machine
Attention! Please observe all mentioned safety informations
and the following rules when working:
• Only guide the machine against the workpiece when it is
switched on.
• Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it can-
not move while being processed.
• Always push the machine forwards, never draw the ma-
chine towards yourself.
• Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the cutters on the saw
blade from overheating and prevent plastic materials from
melting during cutting.
• For work that generates dust, wear a dust mask.
• Grip the saw tightly with both hands ensuring that one
hand is placed on the main handle and the other on the
front handle.
• When using a guide rail, it must be fastened with screw
clamps.
• Make sure the power cable is not placed in the sawing
direction.
Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator (Fig. F Pos. F1) displays the cutting line
for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
Cutting sections
(1) Place the machine with the front part of the saw table on
the workpiece.
(2) Switch the machine on using the ON/OFF switch (8).
(3) Press the plunge-cut trigger (3).
(4) Push the saw downwards to reach the sawing depth.
(5) Push the saw forward evenly.
(6) After finishing the sawing cut, switch the machine off and
move the saw blade upwards.
Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts) (Fig. J - L)
Attention! In order to avoid kickbacks, the following instruc-
tions must be observed without fail when plunge cutting:
- Always place the machine with the rear edge of the saw
table against a fixed stop.
- When working with the guide rail, place the machine
against the kickback stop (K2 / not included) clamped to
the guide rail.
Procedure
(1) Place the saw onto the work piece.
(2) Place the cutting indicator with the rear arrow (J1) on the
marked plunge-cut position.
The markings (J1/J2/J3) indicate the absolute front and
the absolute rear cutting points of the saw blade (dia.
160 mm) when using the saw at maximum cutting depth
with the guide rail.
(3) Switch the machine on and push the saw downwards
until you reach the set cutting depth.
(4) Move the saw forwards until the cutting indication (J3)
has reached the marked point.
(5) After completion of the plunge-cut, move the saw blade
upwards and switch the saw off.
Guide rails (Fig. D, K)
The guide rails (21) enable clean, precise cuts and protect the
surfaces from damage.
When sawing with the guide rail, the cut depth is 4.5
mm less than the scale value on the machine.
For safety, the guide rail can be secured with screw clamps
(K1) (not included).
The tilt protection (10) prevents the plunge saw from tilting
during miter cuts and adjustment work.
The rebound protection (K2 / not included) ensures a safe
guiding during plunging into the workpiece (not included).
By means of the rail joiner (22), 2 guide rails can be con-
nected and allow long, precise cuts.
The guide clearance of the assembly on the guide rail can be
regulated with the two adjustment screws (9).
With the offered accessories, miter cuts, corner cuts and other
fitting tasks can be carried out.
When first using this saw on the optional guide rail, it will
need to be adjusted to slide with minimal side movement on
the guide rail. Adjustable cams (9) are fitted to do this.
(1) Place saw on guide rail.
(2) Turn adjustment screw for guide rail (9) anti-clockwise
until tight.
(3) Then clockwise slightly to allow clearance.
(4) While holding dials in position lock in place by screwing
down the Socket head Cap screws in the middle of each
Cam (5mm allen key supplied with machine)
(5) Pull saw back and forth along rail ensuring it slides
smoothly - Re-adjust as needed.
(6) Future adjustment may be needed depending on use of
saw.
Splinter Protection
The guide rail comes with a splinter guard, which must be
fitted before the first use.
(1) Secure rail with the screw clamps (not included) to a
IE/NI 35
