Position the forward section of the saw’s base plate on the workpiece but do not bring the blade into
contact with the workpiece.
1. Fit the battery into the product.
2. While pressing the safety lock, switch the product on by pressing the on/off button.
3. Guide the product along the cutting line on the workpiece at a suitable speed.
5.8 Fitting / adjusting the rip fence (parallel guide) 8
1. Pull the battery out of the product to the rear.
2. Screw the clamping screw into the baseplate, leaving enough space to slide the parallel guide through.
3. Slide the rip fence guide under the clamping screw.
4. Set the desired cutting width.
5. Tighten the clamping screw.
5.9 Fitting the guide rail adapter 9
Note
The saw can be equipped with a guide rail adapter which is available as an accessory.

desired angle shown on the angle scale is opposite the zero mark. The cutting angle indicated is the
angle of deviation from a straight, right-angled cut.
2. Use the two screw clamps to secure the guide rail.
