Setting the power tool to its initial position
After installation of the diamond slitting discs or if work has been done on it, the power tool might
not be in its initial position. You must set the power tool to its initial position before the slitting depth
(plunge depth) is set and the power tool is switched on.
1. Make sure that the plunge movement lock button on the front grip is not pressed.
2. Hold the power tool firmly by the front grip.
3. Lift the front of the power tool until the carriage snaps into its initial position with an audible click.
▶
The power tool is now in its initial position.
To make sure that the power tool does not exit from the work surface without you noticing, you
can push the locking switch to the
(locked) position. This locks the carriage at the slitting depth
already reached and keeps it locked for as long as the plunge movement lock button is pressed.
6.3
Setting the slitting depth
1. Make sure that the power tool is in its initial position.
2. Turn the slitting-depth adjusting knob to set the desired slitting depth.
The numbers printed on the adjusting knob show slitting depth in millimeters (mm).

Slitting
1. Make sure that the slitting depth is set correctly. → page 9
WARNING
Risk of accident!
If the power tool is not in its initial position when it is switched on, the diamond slitting
discs can come into contact with the surface underneath the power tool. If this happens it can cause you to
lose control of the power tool.
▶
Before switching on, check that the power tool is in its initial position.
2. Position the power tool on the working surface to be slit.
The cutting line indicator indicates the direction of cut and is in line with the first (left, in the
direction of cut) diamond slitting disc.
For horizontal slits: The spirit level indicates when the power tool is correctly leveled.
3. Flick the centered locking lever to the left or right. Then fully depress the ON/OFF switch and hold it in
this position.
4. Press and hold down the plunge movement lock button integrated into the front grip.
To ensure optimum performance, wait until the diamond slitting discs have reached full speed
before bringing them into contact with the material to be cut.
5. Apply reasonable pressure to the front grip to slowly plunge-cut into the material to the preset slitting
depth.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
Excessive forward pressure and slow slitting progress can result in irreparable thermal
damage to the diamond slitting discs.
▶
If cutting performance drops, check whether the diamond slitting discs are badly worn and need to be
replaced or sharpened.
6. Guide the machine with both hands, applying reasonable pressure in the cutting direction.
Applying excessive forward pressure can cause the motor to stall.
7. Release the ON/OFF switch when you want to interrupt or end the slitting operation.
