Operation
2. Subsequent cuts
After the guide cut has been made, sawing can continue with the saw arm in either the trailing position (pulling
the blade) or leading position (pushing the blade). The depth of subsequent cuts again depends greatly on the
material, but may be between 10 and 15 cm. These cuts can be made at full (100%) power.

8. Once the cut has been completed or the maximum depth reached, use the plunge movement direction control
to lift the saw blade out of the kerf while the blade is still rotating, bringing the saw and saw arm to the 90°
position.
9. Subsequently turn all switches / knobs (advance direction, advance speed, blade speed, water supply and start-
ing switch) back the “Neutral” or “Zero” position and then press the emergency stop button.
10. If necessary, fit a larger diameter saw blade (max. 1600 mm dia.) and repeat the procedure.
Guidelines and guide values
1. The initial or guide cut
The initial cut is also known as the guide cut. This cut should always be made with the saw arm in the trailing
position. Depending on the material being cut (hard, soft or masonry) the guide cut should be made to a depth
of between 4 and 5 cm. The guide cut should always be made at reduced power (e.g. 60%). This prevents the
blade wandering off course and ensures a straight cut.
