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 5 (Fig. 3).
Adjust the angle according to the scale on the
segment for tilting.
Afterwards, tighten the wing screws 5.
5.5
Setting for mitre cuts
Release the limit stop 21 (Fig. 7) and adjust the
angle plate according to the scale on the guide
rail.
Afterwards retighten the limit stop.
Place the machine with the two stop bolts at the
bottom side of the guide rail against the
workpiece to be processed and carry out the cut
by pushing the machine forward.
After the cut, return the saw to its original
position by reversing.
5.6
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!
Unfasten the clamping lever 5 (Fig. 1) on the
switched off machine.
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 machined. The saw blade is
now running freely above the material and can
be aligned for tracing.
Switch on the machine only now.
Push the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) vertically
downwards so that the saw blade plunges
vertically into the workpiece. While doing so, the
plunge depth can be read off the 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.
5.7
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.
