Aluminium compound milling plates
cannot be turned as they are
soldered in. (A blunt tool must be
reground).

Operation
Always wear your personal
protective equipment whenever you
are working with the machine.
5.1 Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must be
made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular attention to the chapter "Safety instructions".
5.2 Switching on and off
• Switching on: First unlock the switch-on lock by
pressing the locking lever 7 (Fig. 5). Then, keeping
the locking lever depressed, activate the gearshift
lever 8.
As this is a switch without locking device, the machine
will only run for as long as this gearshift lever is
pressed.
The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free
acceleration when the machine is switched on and
under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting.
In addition, this electronic system reduces the motor
output in case of an overload, i.e. the tool stops. Switch
the machine off then. Then switch the machine on
again and continue sawing at a reduced feed speed.
The setting wheel 9 (Fig. 3) can be used to adjust the
tool speed in a continuously variable manner between
3600 and 6250 rpm.

• Switching off: To switch off, release the gearshift
lever 8. The built-in automatic brake limits the
slowing time of the tool to approx. 5 s. The switch-
on lock is automatically reactivated and secures the
groove-cutting machine against accidental switch-
on.
5.3 Incising the guide rail (special accessories)
Danger
Initial start-up
Trim the splinter guard 38 (Fig. 4)
with the saw blade prior to initial
start-up:
• Place the rail onto a level support.
• Put down the machine at the start of the rail with the
groove 24 (Fig. 6) in the base plate on the spring of
the rail.
• Set the cutting depth to approx. 3 mm (1/8 in).
• Switch on the machine and slide it evenly in cutting
direction across the entire length. The newly formed
cut edge on the splinter guard serves as tracing
edge for the saw blade, the adjustable groove cutter
and the slitting unit.
• Place the rail onto the workpiece.
• Push it against the workpiece and align it with the
marking. In order to fix the rail, clamp the rail with
the two screw clamps (special accessories) 39 (Fig.
8).
• Set the cutting depth at the machine.
• Switch on the machine and slide it evenly in cutting
direction.
• Do not clean the rail with solvents – the anti-skid
coating could get damaged.
