Operation
Observe the safety instructions and warnings in this documentation and on the product.
6.1
Using a dust extractor
The dust extractor reduces dust emissions, increases working safety by providing better visibility of
the cutting line and reduces exposure to dust and wood chips at the workplace.
1. Fit the guard. → page 25
2. Always use a dust extractor when working over a lengthy period with wood or materials that can cause
high dust concentrations.
6.2
Setting the cutting angle
1. Slacken the screw on the base plate.
2. Adjust the base plate to the desired cutting angle (from 0° to 45° in both directions).
▶ At the 0° cutting angle, the base plate is held in a rotation-locked position. To set a different cutting
angle, you must first pull the base plate to the rear.
▶ When you return the base plate to the 0° cutting angle, push the base plate forward again to re-engage
it in this rotation-locked position.
3. Retighten the screw.
▶ The base plate is clamped securely.
6.3
Switching on
A safety interlock ensures that the product does not start when the product is switched on first and
the battery inserted afterward.
1. Check that the lockbutton is in the middle position.
2. Press the on/off switch.
3. To lock the switch in the "on" position, then push the lockbutton to the right.
▶ The product then runs in sustained operating mode.
4. To release the lockbutton, press the on/off switch again.
▶ The lockbutton then returns to the middle position.
6.4
Plunge cutting
1. Set the orbital-action adjusting lever to position 0.
2. Bring the front edge of the base plate into contact with the workpiece.
3. Hold the product securely and press the on/off switch.
4. Press the product firmly against the workpiece and begin the plunge cut by slowly reducing the angle of
attack.
5. Once the blade has penetrated right through the workpiece, bring the product into its normal working
position.
▶ The base plate then lies flat on the working surface.
6. Continue to saw along the cutting line.
6.5
Switching off
