CUTTING WITHOUT PLUNGE ACTION
Hold the tool firmly with both hands (one
hand on the main handle 19 and the other
on the auxiliary handle 4).
Set the front of footplate on the workpiece to
be cut without the blade making any contact
(ensure the blade will not make contact with
workpiece after it is pushed down to its
preset cutting depth).
Push the lock-off button 2 and press the
on/off switch 1 to turn the tool on.
Wait until the blade comes to full speed
and press down the saw head slowly to the
preset depth of cut (Fig. 26).
Push the saw slowly forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is
complete.
At the end of the cut, release on/off switch
and wait until the saw blade comes to a
complete stop before pulling the saw head
up (it will retract to the starting position,
and the plunging mechanism becomes
locked again.
Note: If the cut did not properly follow your
intended cut line, DO NOT attempt to push
the saw back to the intended cut line.
Doing so may bind the blade and lead to
dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release on/off switch, wait for blade
to come to a complete stop and then
withdraw saw. Realign saw on new cut line,
turn tool on and wait for blade come to full
speed and then start to cut again.
Working Advice
Protect saw blades against impact and
shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light
feed in the cutting direction.
Excessive feed significantly reduces the
service life of the saw blade and can cause
damage to the saw.
Sawing performance and cutting quality
depend essentially on the condition and
the tooth profile of the saw blade.
Therefore, use only sharp saw blades that
are suited for the material to be cut.
SAWING WOOD
The correct selection of the saw blade
depends on the type and quality of the
wood and whether lengthway or crossway
cuts are required.
Operating Instructions
When cutting spruce lengthways, long
spiral chips are formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially
detrimental to health. Therefore, work only
with dust extraction.
SAWING OTHER MATERIALS
The instructions for cutting wood can also
be used for cutting structurally stable
plastic materials. When cutting plastic
materials, always make a test cut to see if
the saw causes the material to melt. If
necessary, adjust the cutting speed and/or
feed rate as necessary to minimize melting.
This saw is not designed to cut metal or
masonry.
