–
When working with the guide rail, position
the machine at the FS-RSP kickback stop
(accessory) [11-4], which is clamped to the
guide rail.
Procedure

position it at a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly push the machine down to the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cut
ting direction.

rear cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 6‑1/4"
(160 mm)) when using the saw at maximum
cutting depth with the guide rail.
