▶ Basic operations
hands. The torque from the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
▼ SPEED SELECTION
The required speed can be preselected
with the speed dial 24 before the
operation (Fig. 1).
The required speed depends on the saw
blade being used and on the material
being cut (see overview of saw blades at
the end of these operating instructions).
▼ SWITCHING ON AND OFF
To start the machine, first push the lock-
off button for the On/Off switch 2 and
then press the On/Off switch 1 and keep
it pressed.
Actuating lock-off button 2 releases the
plunging device at the same time, and
allows for the saw to be pushed down.
This makes the saw blade plunge into
the workpiece. When pulling up, the saw
retracts to the starting position and the
plunging device is locked again.
To switch off the machine, release the
On/Off switch 1.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off
switch 1 cannot be locked on; it must
remain pressed during the entire
operation.
Your saw should be running at the
desired full speed BEFORE starting the
cut, and turned off only AFTER
completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while
cutting.
▼ SOFT START
The soft start feature limits the power
consumption when switching the tool on
and enables operation from a 13-ampere
fuse.
▼ CONSTANT ELECTRONIC CONTROL
Constant electronic control holds the
speed constant at no-load and under
load, and helps to ensure uniform
working performance.

▶ General Cutting Instructions
After completing a cut
and the trigger has
been released, be aware of the nec es -
sary time it takes for the blade to come
to a com plete stop during coast down.
Be aware of the blade exposure.
Always hold the saw handle with one
hand and the auxiliary handle or housing
with the other.
Ensure workpiece is securely clamped.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the
switch with a decisive action. Never
force the saw. Use light and continuous
pressure.
Always allow the blade to reach the full
speed (as set on the speed dial) before
the blade contacts the workpiece.
Unless a plunge cut is required, lower
the saw blade to the preset depth before
moving the saw forward and into the
workpiece.
When cutting is interrupted, to resume
cutting: squeeze the trigger and allow
the blade to reach full speed, re-enter
the cut slowly and resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers
of the wood have a tendency to tear and
lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes
this effect. For a finish cut, a crosscut
blade or miter blade is recommended.
