► Position saw on workpiece and position
against a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on saw.
► Slowly press down saw to the set cutting
depth until the saw engages, release re­
tractor lever [8-2] and push forward in cut­
ting direction [8-9].
The notch [8-3] indicates the absolute rear cut­
ting point of the saw blade (diameter 160 mm)
when using the saw at maximum cutting depth
with the guide rail.
Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-3], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective lid .
► The pendulum guard must always be able to
move freely and close independently. Al­
ways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean. Clear from dust and chippings
by blowing out with compressed air or using
a brush.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu­
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism.
