Marking the Cutting Line (see figure F)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch 19.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.
Note: Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated
correctly (see "Adjusting the Laser", page 23). The laser
beam, as an example, can misadjust due to vibrations after in-
tensive use.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure G)
To ensure optimum working safety, the workpiece must al-
ways be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
– Place the workpiece against the angle stop 6.
– Slide the clamping spindle 7 against the workpiece and
firmly clamp the workpiece with the spindle handle 9.
Loosening the Workpiece
– Loosen the spindle handle 9.
– Tilt up the quick release 8 and pull the clamping spindle 7
away from the workpiece.

Dust- / Chip Disposal (see figure H)
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, miner-
als and metal can be harmful to one's health. Contact with or
inhaling the dust can trigger allergic reactions to the operator
or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infections.
Certain metal dust is considered hazardous, especially in con-
junction with alloys such as zinc, aluminium or chromium. Ma-
terials containing asbestos may only be worked by special-
ists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.
The saw blade 31 can become blocked by dust, chips or work-
piece fragments in the slot of the saw table 25.
