Warning: Noise can have adverse health effects.
Should the noise level increase above 85 dB(A), you
must wear ear protection. Should the electrical supply
not be optimal, then the current can drop for a short time
when the machine is turned on. This can influence other
equipment (for example, the blinking of a lamp). Should
the electrical capacity have a Zmax < 0.27, such distur-
bances are not to be expected. (Should you have dif-
ficulties, please consult your local dealer.)
12. Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technol-
ogy in accor dance with recognized safety rules.
Some remaining hazards, how ever, may still exist.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the
instructions in „Safety Precautions“, „Proper Use“ and
in the entire operating manual.
• Do not force the machine unnecessarily: excessive
cutt ing pressure may lead to rapid deterioration of
the blade and a decrease in performance in terms of
finish and cutting precision.
• When cutting aluminium and plastics always use the
app ro priate clamps: all workpieces must be clamped
down firmly.
• Avoid accidental starts: do not press the start button
while inserting the plug into the socket.
• Always use the tools recommended in this manual
to obtain the best results from your plunge cut saw.
• Always keep hands away from the work area when
the ma chine is running; before performing tasks of
any kind release the main switch button located on
the handgrip, thus disconnecting the machine.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag -
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the electric tool.
13. Suitable use
To cut:
• Hard and soft, domestic and exotic wood both longi-
tudinally and transversally and with appropriate ad-
justments (specific blade and clamps);
Unsuitable use
Do not cut:
•
Ferrous materials, steel and cast iron or any other
material not mentioned above and in particular food -
stuffs.
14. Start-up
Observe the safety notes in the operating instruc -
tions before operating the machine.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check that the electrical system to which the machine is
connected is earthed in compliance with current safety
regulations and that the current socket is in perfect con-
dition.
The electrical system must be fitted with a magnetother-
mal protective device to safeguard all conductors from
short circuits and overload.
The selection of this device should be in line with the
following electrical specifications of the machine stated
on the motor.
15. ADJUSTING
Caution: Prior to carrying out one of the following ad-
justment steps, switch the machine off and unplug the
mains plug.
Cutting depth adjustment, Fig. 2
The cutting depth can be adjusted from 0 to 75 mm.
Unfasten the cutting depth adjustment screw (6) and set
the required depth using the scale (7) and retighten the
screw.
The dimentions on the rail shows the cutting depth with
-
out rail.
Mitre settings, Fig. 3
The mitre square can be set from 0° to 45°.
Unfasten the mitre adjustment screws (8) on both sides,
set the desired mitre square on the scale (9) and retight-
en both screws.
Saw blade replacement, Fig. 4, 5, 6
Caution: Before you are going to make the saw
blade change, switch off the machine and unplug
the power cord.
1 Press the plunge trigger (3), bring the saw blade into
the blade-change position (Adjustment screw for
depth of cut shall be adjusted to 25mm) and insert
the hex wrench into the blade locking screw (17).
2 Press on the shaft lock (13) and rotate the saw blade
(10) until the lock clicks into place.
3 Hold down the locking shaft (13) and open the blade
locking screw (17) counter clockwise, while keeping
the blade in the blade-changing position.
4 Remove the outer flange (16) and the saw blade (10).
(Caution: risk of injuries, wear protective gloves)
5 Insert the new blade and flange.
