Holding and guiding the tool (fi g. 5, 6)
WARNING:
• ALWAYS secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while sawing.
• ALWAYS push the machine forwards. NEVER
pull the machine backwards towards you.
• ALWAYS use the plunge saw with both hands.
Put one hand on the main handle (c) and the
second hand on the front handle (h) as shown
in fi gure 5.
• ALWAYS use the clamp to hold the rail to the
workpiece as shown in fi gure 6.
• Make sure the cord is not in the path of the
saw.
• Hold the tool by the main handle (c) and the front
handle (h) to guide the saw properly.
• The cutting indicator (t) displays the cutting line for
0° and 47° cuts (without guide rail).
• The blade position indicator (y) shows the blade
position for full plunge.
• For optimum results, clamp the workpiece bottom
up.
CUTTING
1. Place the machine with the front part of the saw base
on the workpiece.
2. Press the on/off switch to turn the saw on.
3. Push the plunge switch (a) forward, press the saw
down to set cutting depth and push it forward into
cutting direction.

PLUNGE CUTS

WARNING: To avoid kickbacks, the following
in-structions MUST be observed when plunge
cutting:
• Place the machine onto the guide rail and
release the anti-kickback knob (u) by turning
it anti-clockwise.
• Turn the machine on and slowly press the
saw down onto the set cutting depth and
push forward in the cutting direction. The cut
indicators (t) display the absolute front and the
absolute rear cutting points of the saw blade
(dia. 165 mm) at maximum cutting depth and
using the guide rail.
• If kickback happened during the plunge cut,
turn the anti-kickback knob (u) anti-clockwise
to release it from the rail.
• When you have fi nished the plunge cut, turn
the anti-kickback knob (u) clockwise into the
lock position.
Guide system (fi g. 1, 5)
The guide rails, which are available in different lengths,
allow for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect
the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled
cuts, mitre cuts and fi tting work can be completed with
the guide rail system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure
hold and safe working.
The guide clearance of the plunge saw must be very
small for best cutting results and can be set with the two
rail adjusters (j).
1. Release the screw inside the rail adjuster to adjust
the clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on rail.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the rail adjuster in position and lock the screw
again.
NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with other
rails.
SPLINTERGUARD
The guide rail is equipped with a splinterguard, which has
to be cut to size before the fi rst use:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the guide system
instruction before cutting the splinterguard!
1. Set the speed of the plunge saw to level 5.
2. Place the guide rail on a scrap piece of wood.
3. Set the plunge saw on 5 mm cut depth
4. Place the saw on the rear end of the guide rail.
5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set cutting depth
and cut the splinterguard along the full length in one
contiuous operation. The edge of the splinterguard
now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge of the
blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS
secure the guide rail (w) with a clamp (x).
Speed adjustment (fi g. 1)
The speed can be regulated between 1750 and 4000/min
using the speed wheel (s). This enables you to optimise
the cutting speed to suit the material. Refer to the following
chart for type of material and speed range.
