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 12 (Fig. 1) and put
the machine in the topmost position with plunge
lever 13 (Fig. 1).
Completely open the retractable saw guard with
the pre-feed lever 16 (Fig. 1), so that the
machine can be placed onto the workpiece to be
processed. The saw blade is now freely
suspended above the material and can be
aligned with the marking.
Switch on the machine and press the plunge
lever 13 (Fig. 1) downwards. This causes the
saw blade to plunge vertically into the
workpiece. While doing so, the plunge depth
can be read off the scale 14 (Fig. 1). 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.
In case of repetitive plunge cuts of
the same depth, the plunging depth
can be preset.
Proceed as follows:
Set the machine to the desired cutting depth.
Open the clamping screw 17 (Fig. 2) and set the
stop bar 18 (Fig. 2) downwards up to the limit
stop.
Retighten the clamping screw. After completion
of the plunge work, set the stop bar into the top
position.

Sawing according to tracings
with guide rail
When sawing according to tracing, the right edge of
the guide rail serves as tracing indicator. This also
applies to bevel cuts. Please take note of Section 5.4.
For sawing, place the guide rail onto the
workpiece.
Switch on the machine (see Chapter 5.2) and
slide the machine evenly in cutting direction.
When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 10 (Fig. 2).
Pull back the machine into home position when
attached and take it off the workpiece in this
position.
With doing so, you guarantee that the
retractable saw guard is completely closed.
without guide rail
You can detach the machine from the guide rail
towards the rear by pressing the ratchet 21 (Fig. 3).
The retractable marking indicator 19 (Fig. 1) is
automatically adjusted for bevel cuts as well. The
tracing edge corresponds to the saw blade's inside.
For diagonal cuts, the marking can be viewed through
the opening on the left-hand side of the upper saw
guard (arrow, fig. 1).
Hold the machine by its handles and place the
front part of its base plate onto the workpiece.
Switch on the portable circular saw (see chapter
5.2) and slide the machine evenly forward in the
direction of the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the saw
by releasing the switch trigger 10 (Fig. 2).
5.9
Sawing with the parallel stop
The parallel stop serves to saw parallel to an already
existing edge. The limit stop can be attached to the
left or right of the machine. While doing so, the cutting
range amounts to 33 - 130 mm (1.30 – 5.12 in.) on
the right-hand side (reading indicator "X" Fig. 1) and
to 163 - 300 mm (6.42 – 11.81 in.) on the left-hand
side (reading edge at indicator edge "Y" Fig. 1). In the
range of 163-220 mm (6.42 – 8.66 in.), the machine
must be adjusted upwards by approx. 10 mm (0.39
in.) so that the limit stop can be pushed under the
motor casing.
