piece of scrap lumber.
(2) Adjust the guide clearance on the rail with the two adjust-
ment screws (9).
(3) Set the plunge saw to ca. 6mm cut depth
(4) Set up the saw at the back end of the rail.
(5) Switch on the machine, press down to the set cut depth
and fit the splinter guard along the whole length in one
pass without stopping. The edge of the splinter guard
now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge of the saw
blade
Cutting with guide rails (Fig. D, K)
(1) Place the machine in the guide rails.
(2) Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF switch (8).
(3) Press the plunge-cut trigger (3).
(4) Press the saw downwards to reach the sawing depth.
During first use the rubber lip is sawn off and thus splitter
protection is guaranteed up to the saw blade.
(5) Push the saw uniformly forwards.
(6) Turn off the machine and tilt the saw blade to the top
when the saw cutting is complete.
Plunge Cuts with guide rails
(1) Set the saw on the guide rail at the marked cutting point
(2) Secure the rebound protection or fence (accessory not
included) at the back and front cut points on the guide
rail.
(3) Switch on the machine.
(4) Press the saw down slowly to the set cut depth and move
this forward evenly on the rail up to the front cutting
point.
Tilt Protection
For miter cuts, it is advisable to install a tilt protection.
This prevents the machine from tilting to one side while in an
oblique position.
Injuries to the body or damage to the machine can be
avoided thereby.
When you are finished cutting
1. First turn the plunge saw off and then the dust extractor.
The saw blade will continue to rotate for some time.
2. Remove the cutting waste from the saw blade when the
saw blade returns to the resting position.
3. Disconnect the plunge saw from the power supply by
pulling the mains plug out of the socket.
4. Let the plunge saw cool off completely.
