Operation

General cutting (Fig. G and H)
WARNING!
During operation fine dust will be generated!
The dust is highly inflammable and explosive! Do not smoke during
operation, keep heat sources and open flames out of the working area!
Always wear a dust mask to protect yourself against hazards resulting
from fine dust!
The orientation mark (9) is designed as follows:
• At 0 bevel angle: the right edge of the notch aligns with the right
side of the saw blade (15).
• At 45º bevel angle: the left edge of the notch aligns with the right
side of the saw blade (15).
Take the cutting channel into consideration when cutting along marked
cutting lines. Do not cut directly on the line but next to it. (Fig. G)
It is recommended to make a trial cut before working on the actual
workpiece to determine the position and width of the cutting channel,
especially after replacing the blade or changing bevel angle.
Switch the product off, let it come to a complete stop and disconnect it
from the power supply if the saw blade gets stuck in the workpiece. Only
then free the jammed blade.
1. Cut in the direction of the wood grain whenever possible to avoid jamming the saw
blade (15) and fraying edges.
2. Check the function of the lower guard (11) by raising and releasing the retraction
lever (17).
3. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the saw blade under the workpiece.
4. Ensure the workpiece is free of obstacles like nails or screws before operation.
Remove them if required.
5. Never hold the workpiece with your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece
with proper clamps to a stable worktop. Support longer workpieces to avoid tilting.
6. Hold the product with one hand on the rear handle (3), and with the other hand on
the front handle (4). Never try to operate the product with only one hand! (Fig. H)
7. Switch the product on and wait until it runs at full speed before placing it on the
workpiece.
