can then press the machines down for sawing, and release
the cut-in and release block. To switch off, release the „On"-
"Off" switch.
After the machine has been switched off, the
saw blade will still rotate for a time. Take care that parts of
your body do not come into contact with the saw blade while
it is still rotating!
As soon as you remove the machine from the workpiece once
sawing has been completed, the machine automatically returns
to its basic position and the saw blade is again completely
covered by the protective covering.
4.4 Sawing
The machine must reach full speed before cutting
begins and should only be switched off once cutting has
finished.
Only operate the saw away from you (pushing
the circular saw forwards) and never towards you (pulling
the circular saw backwards). If you saw towards you, there is
the danger that the circular saw might be accelerated out of
the cutting groove (recoil) and cause serious injury.
The cutting indicator (10.3) shows the cutting progress of
the saw blade. The most advanced cutting point is visible in
the viewing window (10.2).
Sawing sections:
- Place the front part of the saw bench on the workpiece.
- Switch the machine on, and press the saw down to the set
cutting depth.
- Push the machine in the direction of cut. Take care that the
saw bench remains firmly on the workpiece.
- Switch the machine off when cutting is completed.

Plunge cuts:

In conjunction with the guide system (see Section 6.2), plunge
cuts can be made with the ATF 55 E. The riving knife must be
removed for plunge cuts.
- Set the machine to the maximum cutting depth.
- With max. cutting depth, the marking (10.1) on the
protective cover shows the furthest point to which a saw
blade with a diameter of 160 mm will saw. Set the hand-
operated circular saw on the guide rail, and align this by
means of this marking.
- Set the guide limit (4.5, Order no. 485 827) directly behind
the saw bench on the guide rail, and tighten the clamping
(4.4) lever. When the machine plunges, the circular saw
must securely abut the guide limit, otherwise there is the
danger of a recoil!
- Switch the machine on, and plunge the saw.
- Push the machine in the direction of sawing.
- Switch the machine off once cutting is completed.

Angular cuts:

With the angle unit (Order no. 482 976) and the guide rail it
is easy to make angular cuts, whereby the setting of the angle
is infinitely variable between - 45° and + 45°.
- Push the guide rail with the lower groove (11.2) to the
adjusting spring (11.4) of the angle stop.
- Set the required angle (11.1), and tighten the milled head
(11.3).
- Apply the angle stop laterally to your workpiece.
- Carry out the saw cut.

Sawing aluminium:

When sawing aluminium, the following measures
must be taken for safety reasons:
- Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
- Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
