Adjusting the sawing angle (fig. C)
The default angle between the saw blade and the shoe is 90°.
u
Use a square to check that the angle between the saw
blade and the shoe is 90°. If the angle does not measure
90° adjust as follows:
u
Loosen the locking knob (19) to unlock the saw shoe.
u
Loosen the locknut (20) on the adjusting screw (21).
u
Screw the adjusting screw in or out to achieve a 90°
angle.
u
Retighten the locknut.
u
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. D)
The depth of cut should be set according to the thickness of
the workpiece. It should exceed the thickness by approx. 2
mm.
u
Loosen the knob (22) to unlock the saw shoe.
u
Move the saw shoe (6) into the desired position.
The corresponding depth of cut can be read from the
scale (23).
u
Tighten the knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
Adjusting the bevel angle (fig. E)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0° and 45°.
u
Loosen the locking knob (19) to unlock the saw shoe.
u
Move the saw shoe (8) into the desired position. The cor-
responding bevel angle can be read from the scale (24).
u
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw shoe in place.
Switching on and off
u
To switch the tool on, move the lock-off button (2) into the
unlock position and squeeze the on/off switch (1).
u
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
u
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
u
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Hints for optimum use
u
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
u
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
Using the sight guide (fig. F)
The tool is equipped with a sight guide for straight cutting.
u
Align the left edge of the guides (26) with the cutting line
(25).
u
Keep the sight guide aligned with the cutting line while
sawing.
u
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Dust extraction (fig. G)
An adaptor is required to connect a vacuum cleaner or dust
extractor to the tool.
u
Insert the dust extraction adaptor (27) into the saw dust
outlet (10).
u
Connect the vacuum cleaner hose (28) to the adaptor.
