Q
Switching on and off
Switching on:
1. Slide the on / off switch
5
backwards to
switch the product on.
Switching off:
1. Release the on / off switch
5
to switch the
product off.
Q
Releasing the plunge lock
1. Slide the plunge lock button
1
forward to
release the plunge lock.
NOTE
u
Always ensure smooth movement of the
product through the base plate
6
before
beginning a cut. It must not jam and the
spring assistance must be able to push back
the product through the base plate
6
on its
own.
Q
Cutting
o
Avoid damaging the cutting edge of sensitive
materials, e.g. coated chip boards or doors,
by sticking masking tape along the cutting
line. Another benefit of this is that it is easier
to mark a line on the tape than on a shiny
surface. An even more effective method of
protecting the cutting edges is to clamp a
thin piece of wood along the cutting line (this
wood is also sawn).
o
Saw in the direction of the wood grain
whenever possible to avoid jamming the saw
blade and fraying edges.
o
Take the cutting edge into consideration when
cutting along marked cutting lines. Do not cut
directly on the line but next to it.
o
Ensure the workpiece is free of obstacles like
nails or screws before operation. Remove
them if required.
o
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the
saw blade under the workpiece.
o
Never hold the workpiece with your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece with
proper clamps to a stable worktop. Support
longer workpieces to avoid tilting.
o
Hold the product firmly with both hands.
Never try to operate the product with only
one hand! Keep your hands away from under
the workpiece.
o
Only apply as much pressure as necessary
to keep the product flat on the workpiece.
Higher pressure will not increase but lower
the performance of the product and leads to
uneven results.
1. Place the product with the base plate
6
on
the material.
2. Align it as required by the desired cut through
the viewing window for the cutting
line
13
, the projected laser line or the rip
fence
9
(see “Cutting with rip fence”).
3. Switch the product on (see “Switching on and
off”).
4. Release the plunge lock (see “Releasing the
plunge lock”).
5. Plunge the saw blade slow and steady
into the material by tilting the product with
moderate pressure forward.
NOTE
u
The viewing window for the cutting
line
13
allows spotting a marking line on the
workpiece. Align the marking line with the
triangular ends of the viewing
window
13
. Likewise the projected laser line
is collinear and extends past the base plate
6
.
u
The cutting length marking
7
indicates the
beginning and end of the cut when the saw
blade is fully submerged in the workpiece at
its full diameter.
Q
Cutting with rip fence
The rip fence
9
enables exact cuts along a
workpiece edge and cutting strips of the same
width.
1. Loosen the rip fence locking screw
10
, insert
the rip fence
9
into the rip fence slot
8
on
either side of the base plate
6
and adjust to
the desired width.
2. Retighten the rip fence locking screw
10
.
3. Apply light lateral pressure to the workpiece
Q
After use
1. Switch the product off, disconnect it from the
mains and let it cool down.
2. Check, clean and store the product as
described below.
