Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove possibly
mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure M)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch
39
.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.
Note:
Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated
correctly (see “Adjusting the Laser”, page 31). The laser
beam, as an example, can misadjust due to vibrations after in-
tensive use.
Position of the Operator (see figure N)
Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade.
This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
Permissible Workpiece Dimensions
Maximal
workpiece sizes:
Minimal
workpiece sizes (= all workpieces that can be
clamped left or right from the saw blade with the supplied
material clamp
29
): 100 x 40 mm (length x width)
Cutting depth, max.
(0°/0°): 70 mm
Replacing Insert Plates (see figure O)
The red insert plates
18
can become worn after prolonged
use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew the screws
49
with a hex key (size 4 mm) and
remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws
49
so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the complete length of
the possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-hand
insert plate.
Sawing
Always tighten the locking knob 20 firmly before saw-
ing.
Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the
workpiece.
Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure P)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw
33
in case it is tightened. Slide the
tool arm to the stop in the direction of the fence
14
and
retighten the locking screw
33
.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking switch
9
and slowly guide the tool arm down-
ward by the handle
8
.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device
1
(wide workpieces), loosen
the locking screw
33
in case it is tightened.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence
14
far enough so that
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking switch
9
and slowly guide the tool arm down-
ward by the handle
8
.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the fence
14
and saw
through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure Q)
The material stop
36
(accessory) can be used for easily saw-
ing workpieces to the same length.
The material stop can be mounted on either side of the saw
table extension
13
.
– Loosen lock screw
50
and swing the material stop
36
over
clamping screw
51
.
– Retighten lock screw
50
.
– Adjust the saw table extension
13
to the desired length
(see “Extending the Saw Table”, page 28).
