cuts, loosen the holding screw of the
shoe with the adjustment wrench
(Figure 3) and push the shoe forwards
from the rest position. Set the cutting
angle (8) by turning the to the right or
left. The angles 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° are
marked but intermediate values may
also be selected. Tighten the holding
screw up again. When carrying out cuts
at an angle, push the cutting protection
element (6) up as far as it will go.
8 – Operation
Insert mains plug into an outlet
• ON: Press switch (1) and hold.
• OFF: Release switch (1).
• Continuous operation ON: Press
switch (1), actuate lock knob (2) and
lock in place.
• Continuous operation OFF: Press
switch (1) again - lock knob jumps out
of locking device and release.
9 – Mode of operation
Sawing
Do not force the saw; this causes the
saw blade to overheat and bend and/or
break. If material to be cut is thin, place
it on an additional board/plate to
dampen vibrations and improve cutting.
Drop sawing
If the workpiece is to be sawn in the
middle and holes cannot be bored in it,
set the oscillation to 0, loosen the
footplate, push it back and lock it. Hold
the machine at an angle and carefully
allow the blade to slide on to the
workpiece (Fig. 5). As soon as the
workpiece is sawn through, continue
working with the machine in the normal
position.
Laser projector
The beam from the laser projector
makes it easier to carry out straight cuts
a) along a pre-drawn cutting line on the
work piece
b) or by pointing it at a marked fixed
point on the work piece.
The range of the beam is approximately
65 cm, depending on the ambient
lighting.
The laser projector is switched on/off as
required using the On/Off switch (14).
10 – Maintenance and
environmental
protection
Regularly dust sawdust off housings,
ventilation openings and movable parts.
Where applicable, wipe off with a damp
cloth. Do not drop electrical machines in
water. Apply a light coat off oil to saw
blade guide roller from time to time.
Use a fine brush to remove sawdust
from the laser optic. Do not introduce
pointed objects into the optic.
CAUTION! Electrical and battery
operated units that no longer work
should not be disposed of
in the household waste!
They are to be collected
separately, in accordance
with the 2002/96 EC
directive for the disposal of
electrical and electronic
