Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator (Fig. G Pos. G1) displays the cut-
ting line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
Cutting sections
1. Place the machine with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece.
2. Switch the machine on using the ON/OFF switch
(8).
3. Press the plunge-cut trigger (3).
4. Push the saw downwards to reach the sawing
depth.
5. Push the saw forward evenly.
6. After finishing the sawing cut, switch the machine
off and move the saw blade upwards.
Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts) (Fig. L - O)
m ATTENTION! In order to avoid kickbacks, the fol-
lowing instructions must be observed without fail when
plunge cutting:
• Always place the machine with the rear edge of the
saw table against a fixed stop.
• When working with the guide rail, place the ma-
chine against the kickback stop (M2 / not included)
clamped to the guide rail.
Procedure
1. Place the saw onto the work piece.
2. Place the cutting indicator with the rear arrow (L1)
on the marked plunge-cut position.
Note: The markings (L1/L2/L3) indicate the abso-
lute front and the absolute rear cutting points of
the saw blade (dia. 160 mm) when using the saw at
maximum cutting depth with the guide rail.
3. Switch the machine on and push the saw down-
wards until you reach the set cutting depth.
4. Move the saw forwards until the cutting indication
(L3) has reached the marked point.
5. After completion of the plunge-cut, move the saw
blade upwards and switch the saw off.
Guide rails (Fig. E + M)
The guide rails (21) enable clean, precise cuts and pro-
tect the surfaces from damage.
Note: When sawing with the guide rail, the cut depth is
4.5 mm less than the scale value on the machine.
For safety, the guide rail can be secured with screw
clamps (M1) (not included).
The tilt protection (10) prevents the plunge saw from
tilting during miter cuts and adjustment work.
The rebound protection (M2 / not included) ensures a
safe guiding during plunging into the workpiece (not
included).
By means of the rail joiner (22), 2 guide rails can be
connected and allow long, precise cuts.
The guide clearance of the assembly on the guide rail
can be regulated with the two adjustment screws (9).
With the offered accessories, miter cuts, corner cuts
and other fitting tasks can be carried out.
When first using this saw on the optional guide rail,
it will need to be adjusted to slide with minimal side
movement on the guide rail. Adjustable cams (9) are
fitted to do this.
1. Place saw on guide rail.
2. Turn adjustment screw for guide rail (9) anti-clock-
wise until tight.
3. Then clockwise slightly to allow clearance.
4. While holding dials in position lock in place by
screwing down the Socket head Cap screws in the
middle of each Cam (5mm allen key supplied with
machine)
5. Pull saw back and forth along rail ensuring it slides
smoothly - Re-adjust as needed.
6. Future adjustment may be needed depending on
use of saw.
Splinter Protection
The guide rail comes with a splinter guard, which must
be fitted before the first use.
1. Secure rail with the screw clamps (not included) to
a piece of scrap lumber.
2. Adjust the guide clearance on the rail with the two
adjustment screws (9).
3. Set the plunge saw to ca. 6mm cut depth
4. Set up the saw at the back end of the rail.
5. Switch on the machine, press down to the set cut
depth and fit the splinter guard along the whole
length in one pass without stopping. The edge of
the splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the
cutting edge of the saw blade
Cutting with guide rails (Fig. A, B, E, M)
1. Place the machine in the guide rails.
2. Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch (8).
3. Press the plunge-cut trigger (3).
4. Press the saw downwards to reach the sawing
depth.
Note: During first use the rubber lip is sawn off and thus
splitter protection is guaranteed up to the saw blade.
5. Push the saw uniformly forwards.
