Working with the machine

Please observe all mentioned safety in-
formations and the following rules when
working:
– Only guide the machine against the work-
piece when it is switched on.
– Check the installation fixture prior to use
and do not use the machine if the fixture
does not function correctly.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a man-
ner that it cannot move while being pro-
cessed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands on
the handles [1-4] when performing work.
This reduces the risk of injury and is a pre-
requisite for precise work.
– Always push the machine forwards [9-2],
never draw the machine towards yourself.
– Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the
cutters on the saw blade from overheating
and prevent plastic materials from melting
during cutting.
– Make sure that all rotary knobs [4-1] are
tightened before starting work.
– Do not use the machine when the electronics
are faulty because the machine may operate
at excessive speeds. An absence of the
smooth start-up function or speed control in-
dicates that the electronics are faulty.
For work that generates dust, wear a
dust mask.
8.1 Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator [7-2] displays the cut-
ting line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide
rail).
8.2 Cutting sections
Place the machine with the front part of the
saw table on the workpiece, switch the ma-
chine on, press it down to the preset cutting
depth and push it forward in the cutting direc-
tion.
8.3 Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the follow-
ing instructions must be observed with-
out fail when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear edge
of the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
machine against the kickback stop FS-RSP
(accessory) [9-4] clamped to the guide rail.
Procedure
Position the machine on the workpiece and
push up against a stop (kickback stop).
Switch on the machine.
Push down the machine slowly to the pre-
set cutting depth and then push forwards in
the cutting direction.
The markings [7-1] indicate the absolute front
and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 160 mm) when using the saw at
maximum cutting depth with the guide rail.
8.4 Plaster and cement-bonded fibre
boards
Due to the high build-up of dust, use of a cover
ABSA-TS55 (accessory) mounted to the side of
the protective cover is recommended.
