Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
¢ For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the fence, screw clamps or other ma-
chine parts. Remove possibly mounted aux-
iliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the fence.
Illuminating the Work Area (Power Light)
(see figure M)
Provide for sufficient lighting of the direct work-
ing area.
– For this, switch on the lighting unit 24 with
the switch 28.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure N)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the
saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of
the workpiece for sawing, without having to
open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the
switch 29.
