work piece respectively.

Cutting with the Plunge Saw

Notice: If the saw is not operated properly or is in a defective condition, this
can lead to severe injury while sawing.
 Put on protective goggles.
 Before you start work and having pulled the mains plug out of the socket,
make sure that the protective hood, the clamp screw and the adjusting
devices are working properly and have been adjusted correctly.
 While working with the saw, make sure that the protective hood does not
catch and that it flips back to the starting position after every working cycle.
 Do not exert any side pressure on the work piece while sawing.
Notice: Improper handling of the work piece can cause it to slip while sawing
and inflict serious injury.
 Clamp small wood pieces in place before working on them.
 Never use your hand to hold small work pieces.
 Always perform a test cut on a leftover piece first.
1. Set the cutting depth (see chapter "Setting the cutting depth" (p. 65)).
2. Firmly hold the handle 5 with your hand.
3. Switch the saw on and let the fitted tool reach its full speed.
4. Place the base plate (10) on the work piece up to the mark.
The base plate must always be flat on the work piece. The waste piece
must be on the left side of the saw so that the wide part of the base plate is
located completely on the work piece.
5. Push the release button for the protective hood (3) and slowly lower the
fitted tool into the work piece.
6. Move the saw ahead across the work piece. Never pull the saw backwards
across the work piece.
7. Only exert minimal pressure on the saw when cutting (gentle feed motion).
Gently and evenly push the saw forward.
8. Once you reach the end of the cut, switch the saw off and pull the fitted tool
out of the work piece.
 If the overload indicator (2) blinks, reduce the feed motion.
 If the overload indicator is permanently illuminated, let go of the On/Off
switch 6 and pull the fitted tool out of the work piece. The overload protec-
tion is engaged. The saw doesn't work.
