Always secure the item to be cut in a vice or similar. Never use your hand to keep the item steady.
Adjust the cutting depth by loosening the lock knob (3), adjust the height of the base plate in relation
to the blade and retighten the lock knob.
If necessary, adjust the bevel angle by loosening the bevel adjustment knob (5) and tilting the blade
to the required angle (0-45° to the vertical; can be read off the angle gauge). Retighten the bevel
adjustment knob.
Fit the side guide (7) in its bracket (6) on the base plate and secure. If you need to cut in item further
from the edge, beyond the reach of the side guide, you must attach a straightedge to the item using
a clamp.
Check that the saw is set up correctly and that all knobs and bolts are correctly tightened before
starting to saw.
Press the safety switch (1) and the on/off switch (2) on the handle. Allow the saw to reach full speed

Place the motor section of the saw on that part of the item not being sawn off.
Hold the saw by the handle and front grip and cut in a straight line. Do not force the saw sideways.
Switch the saw off immediately if the blade jams or gets stuck in the item being cut. If the blade gets

Never lift the saw from the item until the blade has come to a complete stop and never put the saw
down unless the blade guard is fully closed.
