Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
 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 possibly
mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure J)
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 20.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.
Position of the Operator (see figure K)
 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.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
