•
Use only recommended, reinforced cutting-
off wheels and take care to tighten the shaft
screw (25) just enough to hold the wheel (11)
securely in place and prevent it from spinning.
Overtightening the shaft screw (25) may da-
mage the cutting-off wheel.
•
Turn the side guard (24) for the cutting-off
wheel back to the front and fasten in place
with the thumb screw (23).
•
After the saw head (1) has been fitted, push
it down by the handle so that the cutting-off
wheel guard (3) can jump back into its origi-
nal position.
7. Operation
7.1. On/Off switch (Fig. 8)
•
To switch on the saw you must press the On/
Off (10) and the start button (19) simultane-
ously.
•
To switch off the cutting-off machine, let go of
the switch (10).
7.2 Making a cut (Fig. 9)
•
Clamp the workpiece securely in the vise.
•
Switch on the machine and wait for the motor
to reach its top speed.
•
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle
(2) until the cutting-off wheel makes slight
contact with the workpiece.
•
Move the cutting-off wheel (11) smoothly
through the material you want to cut.
Important: Avoid causing the cutting-off
wheel to jump or chatter. This will only result
in cuts of poor quality or a broken wheel.
•
The handle (2) must be pressed down firmly
and evenly during the cutting operation.
•
To prevent overheating of the workpiece and
excessive formation of burr, you should not
reduce the cutting speed even at the end of
the cutting operation.
Note: The number of cuts per cutting-off wheel
and their quality may vary considerably with the
time taken to make the cuts. Fast cuts may acce-
lerate wheel wear, but they also prevent discolo-
ring of the workpiece and the formation of burr.

ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.

brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
