6. Operation

Important! Always pull out the power plug
before carrying out maintenance, resetting or
assembly work.
6.1 Transport brace / carry-handle (Fig. 1 / 2)
•
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle
(2) and pull out the interlock (13).
•
Slowly raise the saw head (1). Important!
The resetting spring lifts the saw head (1)
automatically. Therefore, do not simply let go
of the handle (2) after cutting, but allow the
saw head (1) to rise slowly by applying slight
counterpressure.
•
Fig. 1 shows the saw head (1) in its upper
position.
•
Whenever you want to transport the machine
you should use the interlock (13) to anchor
the saw head (1) again in its lower position.
•
The saw is equipped with a carry-handle (8)
to make it easier to transport.
6.2 Vise (Fig. 3)
Every workpiece must be fastened in the vise (15)
before it is cut.
•
Flip up the top half of the nut (a).
•
Pull out the spindle (5) far enough for the
workpiece to be clamped between the clam-
ping faces (4/7) of the vise (15).
Note: There is no need to turn the spindle
(5) when the top half of the nut (a) has been
fl ipped up. The spindle (5) can be pulled out
or pushed in to the exact amount required.
•
Push forward the spindle (5) to the point
where the clamping face (4) touches the
workpiece.
•
Flip down the top half of the nut (a) again so
that the spindle (5) and both halves of the nut
engage with each other.
