Switching on and off
Switching on: First press the switch-on lock 1
(Fig. 1) and then press the switch trigger 2.
Switching off: To switch off, release the switch
trigger.
5.3
Cutting depth adjustment
The cutting depth is continuously variable between 0
and 42 mm.
Proceed as follows:
Unfasten the clamping lever 5 (Fig. 1).
Set the cutting depth with the plunge lever 6
(Fig. 2).
The cutting depth can be read off the scale 2
(Fig. 5) on the cover. Zone 1 on the plunge lever
with the red background serves as indicator for
this purpose.
Retighten the clamping lever.
Always set the cutting depth
approx. 2 to 5 mm (5/64 to 13/64
in.) larger than the material
thickness to be cut.
5.4
Setting for bevel cuts
For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle
between 0 and 45°.
Unfasten the wing screws 10 (Fig. 2).
Adjust the angle according to the scale on the
segment for tilting.
Afterwards, tighten the wing screws 10.
5.5
Plunge cuts
Danger
Risk of backlash during plunge
cuts! Prior to plunging, place the
machine with the rear edge of its
base plate against a limit stop
fastened on the workpiece. Keep a
firm hold on the machine handle
during plunging and push the saw
lightly forward!
Release the clamping lever 5 (Fig. 1).
Reset the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2).
Open the retractable saw guard with the lever 2
(Fig. 3), so that the machine can be placed onto
the workpiece to be processed. The saw blade
is now running freely above the material and
can be aligned for tracing.
Press the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) downwards, so
that the saw blade plunges vertically into the
workpiece. The plunging depth can be read from
scale 2 (Fig. 5). The riving knife / splitter swings
up and away when the blade enters the
workpiece. As soon as the slit behind the saw
blade is cleared during the forward motion of the
machine, the riving knife reverts to its normal
position.
5.6
Sawing with FLEXI rail
Danger
The support rail is pretensioned
and may snap open in an
uncontrolled manner - risk of injury.
It should therefore be securely held
with both hands during opening
and closing.
Initial operation
Trim the splinter guard 4 (Fig. 4) before initial
operation:
Place the FLEXI rail on a flat support.
Set the cutting depth to approx. 3 mm ( 1/8 in. )
and the angle scale to 0°.
Turn on the machine and push it evenly in the
direction of the cut.
The resulting cut edge on the splinter guard serves as
tracing edge for straight cuts and bevel cuts.
Place the FLEXI rail onto the workpiece. Knock
against the workpiece and align it on the tracing.
So as to fix the FLEXI rail, tighten the two clamping
claws 1 (Fig. 6) with the screw clamps.
