Start-up
u
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
u
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ:
Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on (see figure K)
– To
switch on
the power tool,
first
slide the lock-off but-
ton
(4)
to the middle and
then
press and hold the on/off
switch
(5)
.
Note:
For safety reasons, the on/off switch

Practical advice
General sawing instructions
u
Always tighten the locking knob
(13) and the clamp-
ing handle (30) firmly before sawing.
Otherwise the
saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
u
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.
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
always have a straight edge to face against the fence.
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must
open when the tool arm is guided downward. When the tool
arm is guided upward, the retracting blade guard must close
again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position
of the tool arm.
Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of
the intended use.
Marking the cutting line (see figure L1−L2)
A laser beam shows you the cutting line of the saw blade.
This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing,
without having to open the retracting blade guard.
– To activate this, turn on the laser beam using the switch
(26)
.
– Slide the laser unit using the slider
(37)
to the left or right
depending on the preferred viewing direction. As a result,
the cutting line will be indicated by the laser beam 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)
u
Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of
the tool arm.

Sawing without slide movement (cutting off) (see figure
N)
– To perform cuts without slide movement (small work-
pieces), loosen the locking screw
(25)
if it is clamping the
slide device
(1)
in place. Push the tool arm all the way to-
wards the fences
(9)
and
(11)
and retighten the locking
screw
(25)
to lock the slide device in place.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre/bevel angle.
– Switch on the power tool.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle
(6)
.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Sawing with slide movement
– For cuts made using the slide device
(1)
(wide work-
pieces), loosen the locking screw
(25)
if it is clamping the
slide device in place.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre/bevel angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fences
(9)
and
(11)
until
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the power tool.
– Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle
(6)
