button A and hold depressed. (Fig. 2)

5. ADJUSTING THE CUT DEPTH
The cut depth must be approximately 5 mm greater
than the thickness of the material to be cut. Loosen
screw C (Fig. 3), set the limit of the desired cut depth
and tighten screw C again.
6. ADJUSTING THE DIVIDING KNIFE
The dividing knife helps to prevent a backlash.
For safety reasons, the dividing knife must be installed
and correctly adjusted before any sawing operation
takes place.
The dividing knife must be set so that the distance
between the saw blade circle and the dividing knife is
2 to 4 mm, and the saw blade is 2 to 4 mm lower than
the dividing knife.
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing any operation.
To adjust the dividing knife, the machine must be locked
in the "Saw Change" position.
To do this, pull rod D outwards (Fig. 1) and turn it 90°
clockwise until it meets the support cradle and then free
the machine using safety catch B (Fig. 2) and press this
in the cutting direction until the trigger is automatically
set in the "Saw Change" position on the machine. Use the
Allen key to loosen screw E (Fig. 5), adjust the dividing
knife as needed and retighten it.
Loosen rod D (Fig. 1) and turn it anticlockwise until its
original position and the machine will return automa-
tically to its rest position.
7. CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before performing any operation.
Follow the instructions in section 6, to set the machine
in the "Saw Change" position.
Once the machine is set, press lever M (Fig. 4) until the
axis is wedged in place.
Using the Allen key, loosen screw F (Fig. 5) which holds
the outer fixing plate.
Remove the outer fixing plate and the saw blade and
clean the inner saw fixing plate.
Fit the new saw blade and check that the rotation direc-
tions of the saw blade and the machine are the same.
Fit the outer fixing plate of the saw and manually attach
fastening screw F (Fig. 5) to the axis.

Press lever M (Fig. 4) until the axis is wedged in place
and tighten screw F with the Allen key.
8. ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTOR
The dust collector connection N (Fig. 12) included in the
standard machine, can be connected to the machine by
means of the STANDARD DUST CONNECTOR FITTING, 3.5
m ref. 6446073 or 1746245 of 5 m (optional) to our dust
collectors AS182K, AS282K, or any other industrial dust
collector may be fitted (Fig. 12).
9. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
The machine can be adjusted to make bevelled cuts of
between 0° and 45°. To do this, loosen the front and
back knobs G (Fig. 3 and 5), adjust to the desired cutting
angle and fix them once again.
Warning: The two final positions (0° and 45°) are ad-
justed in the factory but can be readjusted by technical
service. (Fig. 3).
10. SAWING WITH THE MACHINE
Always fix the material in place so that it cannot move
when you work with it.
The machine must always be held with both hands on
the handles provided for that purpose.
Always hold the side handle with the left hand and
the front handle with the right hand to give you good
control of the saw.
Check that you have set the right cutting depth.
Place the front of the saw base on the material.
Turn the machine on and press slowly downwards until
you reach the desired cutting depth.
Always move the machine forwards,
never towards you, as this could cause a
serious accident.
Move forward gently and evenly, never sharply.
Make sure that the base of the machine is well supported
on the material.
When you saw along a previously marked line, you can
use the guide groove H (Fig. 3), located at the front of
the base, to follow the line. Groove H shows the cutting
line of the saw at any blade angle.
When you finish cutting, turn off the machine and take
it to its upper safety position.
11. SAWING BLIND SEGMENTS
BY PLUNGE CUT
When you want to cut blind segments in a panel,
proceed as follows:
