Use the following procedure to saw along markings:
1. Hold the machine by the handles and position it such that the front part of the base plate is on the
workpiece.
2. Position the tracing edge (23) at the marking on the workpiece.
3. Switch on the machine.

5.8 Sawing with the parallel guide fence

The parallel guide fence (C) is used for sawing in parallel to an existing edge. The guide fence can be mounted
on the right (motor side) or the left (tool side) side of the machine. The possible adjustable distance is 190 to
320 mm [7.48 - 12.60 in] on the right side and 40 mm to 130 mm [1.57 - 5.12 in] on the left side.
To check the set width, use an additional measuring device (such as a meter stick) to set the parallel guide
fence to the correct distance (edge of parallel guide fence to cutting line).
Use the following procedure to install the parallel
guide fence:
1. Loosen the wing screws (5) on both sides.
2. Insert the parallel guide fence (C) into the guide
provided for this purpose.
It can be mounted on the left or right side

of the machine.
