ACCESSORIES
Guide System
2 Pieces Screw Clamps
1 Piece Rail Joiner
1 Piece Tilt Protection
Guide Device (Fig. 1.1, 1.2)
The guide rails (A) enable clean, precise cuts and protect
the surfaces from damage.
When sawing with the guide rail, the cut depth is 4.5 mm
less than the scale value on the machine.
For safety, the guide rail can be secured with screw
clamps (B) (not included).
The tilt protection (C) prevents the plunge saw from tilt-
ing during miter cuts and adjustment work.
The rebound protection (D) ensures a safe guiding during
plunging into the workpiece (not included).
By means of the rail joiner (F), 2 guide rails can be con-
nected and allow long, precise cuts
The guide clearance of the assembly on the guide rail can
be regulated with the two adjustment screws (E).
With the offered accessories, miter cuts, corner cuts and
other fitting tasks can be carried out.
When first using this saw on the optional guide rail, it
will need to be adjusted to slide with minimal side mo-
vement on the guide rail, Adjustable cams (Fig 1.1 "E")
are fitted to do this.
1. Place saw on guide rail.
2. Turn cams (Fig 1.1 "E") anti-clockwise until tight.
Then clockwise slightly to allow clearance. While hol-
ding dials in position lock in place by screwing down
the Socket head Cap screws in the middle of each Cam
(5mm allen key supplied with machine)
3. Pull saw back and forth along rail ensuring it slides
smoothly Re-adjust as needed.
4. Future adjustment may be needed depending on use
of saw.
Splinter Protection
The guide rail comes with a splinter guard, which must
be fitted before the first use.
1 Secure rail with the screw clamps to a piece of scrap
lumber.
2 Adjust the guide clearance on the rail with the two
adjustment screws (E).
3 Set the plunge saw to ca. 6mm cut depth
4 Set up the saw at the back end of the rail.
5 Switch on the machine, press down to the set cut depth
and fit the splinter guard along the whole length in one
pass without stopping.
The edge of the splinter guard now corresponds exactly
to the cutting edge of the saw blade
Caution!
Always secure the workpiece in such a way that it cannot
shift.
Always move the machine forward; never pull it toward the
body.
TO SAW:
1 Set the saw on the guide rail.
2 Switch on the machine.
3 Press the saw slowly down to the set cut depth and
move this evenly forward along the rail.
PLUNGE CUTS:
To Saw:
1 Set the saw on the guide rail at the marked cutting
point
2 Secure the rebound protection or fence (accessory not
included) at the back and front cut points on the guide
rail.
3 Switch on the machine.
4 Press the saw down slowly to the set cut depth and
move this forward evenly on the rail up to the front
cutting point.
Tilt Protection:
For miter cuts, it is advisable to install a tilt protection
(accessory not included). This prevents the machine from
tilting to one side while in an oblique position.
Injuries to the body or damage to the machine can be
avoided thereby.
