7.3 Using parallel guide
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage due to accessory tool. If parallel guide and
accessory tool come into contact, damage to the parallel guide and/or the
accessory tool can result.
▶ Always set the parallel guide to a position where it cannot come into
contact with the accessory tool.
The parallel guide can be used as a cutting guide or as a depth gauge.
Using parallel guide as cutting guide
Use the parallel guide to make straight cuts paralleling an edge.
If applicable, make sure that clamps do not obstruct the free movement of
the multitool.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage due to kickback. If a corner of the accessory
tool comes out below or above the workpiece, kickback occurs and can
lead to loss of control.
▶ Make sure the accessory tool remains fully plunged in the workpiece
over the entire stroke (oscillation).
▶ Install the securing collar and the parallel guide. → page 16
▶ Make sure that the parallel guide is parallel with the accessory tool.
▶ Slacken the clamping screw of the securing collar.
▶ Turn the securing collar so that the accessory tool will plunge into the
workpiece at an angle.
▶ Retighten the clamping screw.
▶ Open the positioning screw.
▶ Set a cutting depth at which the accessory tool remains fully plunged in
the workpiece over the entire oscillating stroke.
▶ Tighten the positioning screw.
▶ Position the multitool with the parallel guide on the edge. Guide the
multitool along the edge for the full length of the cut.
Using parallel guide as depth gauge
Use the parallel guide as a depth gauge when you are working with segment
saw blades.
▶ Install the securing collar and the parallel guide. → page 16
▶ Slacken the positioning screw.
▶ Set distance "X" between the parallel guide and the tips of the teeth of
the segment saw blade.
▶ Tighten the positioning screw.
