Transport; Cleaning And Maintenance - Scheppach PL55 Original Bedienungsanleitung

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 (accesso-
ry 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 ex-
tractor. 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.
