BEVEL CUTTING (I)
Adjust the required cutting angle; ensure the cutting depth adjustment lever is properly
tightened.
Switch the product on and wait until it runs at full speed before placing it on the
workpiece.
Place the base plate flat on the workpiece and push the product forward at an even
speed.
PLUNGE CUTTING (J)
WARNING!
To avoid loss of control, always use extreme caution when
making plunge cuts.
Mark the line of cut on the work piece.
Adjust the depth of cut as required.
Adjust the bevel setting to 0°.
Raise the lower guard retracting lever to expose the saw blade and firmly rest the front
of the base flat against the workpiece with the main handle raised so the blade does not
touch the workpiece.
With the blade just clearing the workpiece, start the motor by depressing the lock-off
button and squeezing the on/off switch. Always let the blade reach full speed before you
begin to cut into the workpiece.
Slowly lower the saw into the workpiece, using the front of the base resting on the
workpiece as a hinge point. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the
lower blade guard lever.
Once the base plate is flat against the workpiece, cut in a forward direction to the end of
the cut.
After completing your cut, release the on/off switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
If the corners of your plunge cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hand
saw to finish the corners.
WARNING!
Always cut in a forward direction when making a plunge
cut. Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to climb up on the
workpiece and back toward you, possibly causing serious injury. Never tie
the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could
lead to serious injury.
SAW BLADE REPLACING (K, L)
NOTE:
Check the saw blade before every use for damage and wear.

anticlockwise with the hex key (26)
Remove the hex bolt (25) and locking flange (24) from the spindle.
Open the lower guard (19) completely by moving the lower guard retracting lever (21)
forward and hold it in position while removing the saw blade (23) from the spindle.
Put the saw blade aside and carefully move the lower guard retracting lever (21) back to
its initial position to close the lower guard (19).
Clean the hex bolt (25) and locking flange (24) as well as the spindle and inside from
dust.
Open the lower guard (19) completely by moving the lower guard retracting lever (21)
forward and hold it in position while placing a new saw blade on the spindle. Ensure that
the rotational direction indicated on the saw blade is the same as the one shown on the
housing.
Carefully move the lower guard retracting lever (21) back to its initial position to close the
lower (19) guard.
Secure the saw blade with the locking flange (24) and hex bolt (25). Tighten the hex bolt
