PLUNGE CUTS

WARNING: To avoid kickbacks, the following
in-structions MUST be observed when plunge
cutting:
• Place the machine onto the guide rail and
release the anti-kickback knob (u) by turning
it anti-clockwise.
• Turn the machine on and slowly press the
saw down onto the set cutting depth and
push forward in the cutting direction. The cut
indicators (t) display the absolute front and
the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 165 mm) at maximum cutting
depth and using the guide rail.
• If kickback happened during the plunge cut,
turn the anti-kickback knob (u) anti-clockwise
to release it from the rail.
• When you have fi nished the plunge cut, turn
the anti-kickback knob (u) clockwise into the
lock position.
Guide system (fi g. 1, 5)
The guide rails, which are available in different lengths,
allow for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect
the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled
cuts, mitre cuts and fi tting work can be completed with
the guide rail system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure
hold and safe working.
The guide clearance of the plunge saw must be very
small for best cutting results and can be set with the two
rail adjusters (j).
1. Release the screw inside the rail adjuster to adjust
the clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on rail.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the rail adjuster in position and lock the screw
again.
NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with other
rails.
SPLINTERGUARD
The guide rail is equipped with a splinterguard, which
has to be cut to size before the fi rst use:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the guide
system instruction before cutting the splinterguard!
1. Set the speed of the plunge saw to level 5.
