Locking the power tool (transport position)
– Guide the tool arm downwards until you can press the
transport safety lock (13) all the way in.
– Lubricate the transport safety lock regularly.
Further information about transporting (see "Transport",
page 20).
Setting the Mitre Angle (see figure D)
The mitre angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
Important settings are marked with corresponding markings
on the angle guide (6). The 0° and 45° positions are secured
by the respective end stop.
– Loosen the locking screws (12) on the angle guide using
the hex key (14) (8 mm) provided.
– Set the required angle and retighten both locking screws
(12).
Moving the angle guide
If you want to cut wider workpieces, you can move the angle
guide (6) backwards.
– Completely unscrew the locking screws (12) using the
hex key provided (14) (8 mm).
– Move the angle guide (6) backwards by one or two holes
to the required distance.
– Set the required angle and retighten both locking screws
(12).
Clamping the workpiece (see figure E)
To ensure maximum safety while working, the workpiece
must always be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp firmly.
The free end of long workpieces must have something
placed underneath it or be supported.
– Place the workpiece against the angle guide (6).
– Slide the locking spindle (7) against the workpiece and
clamp the workpiece in place using the spindle handle
(9).
Releasing the workpiece
– Release the spindle handle (9).
– Open the quick release (8) and pull the locking spindle
(7) away from the workpiece.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Check the cutting disc before using it. The cutting disc
u
must be fitted properly and be able to rotate freely.
Carry out a test run for at least 30 seconds with no
load. Do not use cutting discs that are damaged, run
untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged cutting discs can
shatter and cause injuries.

The dust from materials such as lead paint, minerals and
metal can be harmful to human health. Touching or breath-
ing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause
respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicin-
ity.
Certain kinds of metal dust are hazardous, especially in com-
bination with alloys such as zinc, aluminium or chrome. Ma-
terials containing asbestos may only be machined by special-
ists.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the materials being machined that apply
in the country of use must be observed.
The cutting disc can become blocked by dust, chips or frag-
ments of the workpiece in the recess of the base plate (11).
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the cutting disc has come to a complete stop.
– Tilt the power tool backwards so that small pieces of the
workpiece can fall out of the opening designed for this
purpose.
If necessary, use a suitable tool to remove all the pieces of
workpiece.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Position of the operator (see figure F)
Do not stand in front of the power tool in line with the
u
cutting disc. Always stand to the side of the cutting
disc. If the cutting disc breaks, your body is more protec-
ted from possible splinters in this position.
Switching on/off
– To start the tool, press the on/off switch (1) and keep it
pressed.
– To switch off, release the on/off switch (1).
Practical advice
General advice on using cutting discs
Do not touch the cutting disc after use until it has
u
cooled. The cutting disc becomes very hot during use.
Make sure that the spark guard plate (17) is fitted
u
properly. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
Protect the cutting disc against impact, shock and grease.
Do not subject the cutting disc to lateral pressure.
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a stop.
Excessive feed significantly reduces the performance of the
power tool and the service life of the cutting disc.
Only use cutting discs that are suitable for the material being
machined.
