 Assemble tool in strict accordance with these
instructions.
 Use only parts approved by the equipment
manufacturer. This applies especially for:
– saw blades (for order numbers, refer to
chapter 12. Accessories).

– Safety devices.

– Cutting laser
– Illumination of cutting line
 Do not change any parts.
 Ensure that the speed indicated on the saw
blade is at least the same as the speed
indicated on the saw.
Hazard generated by tool defects!
 Before every use check tool for possible
damage: before operating the tool all safety
devices, protective guards or slightly damaged
parts need to be checked for proper function as
specified. Check to see that all moving parts
work properly and do not jam. All parts must be
correctly installed and fulfil all conditions
necessary to ensure perfect operation of the
unit.
 Do not used any damaged or contorted saw
blades.
Risk of injury by noise!
 Wear hearing protection.
Danger from blocking workpieces or
workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. switch machine off,
2. Pull the mains plug or remove the detachable
battery pack,
3. wear gloves,
4. clear the blockage using a suitable tool.
4.2 Special safety instructions for
cordless machines:
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch contacts or short-circuit battery
packs!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!

4.4 Safety devices
Retractable blade guard (18)
The retractable blade guard protects against
unintentional contact with the saw blade and from
chips flying about.
Safety lock (26)
Cordless tools: The machine can only be
switched on when the safety lock is activated.
Mains-powered tools: The retractable blade
guard opens and the saw can be lowered only
when the safety lock is activated.
Parallel guide/ ripping fence (19)
The parallel guide/ ripping fence prevents that the
workpiece can be moved during the cutting
process. During operation, the parallel guide/
ripping fence always has to be installed.
The additional profile (31) at the parallel guide/
ripping fence has to be moved for inclined cuts
after loosening the set screw (32).

6. Setup and transport

Install table width extension (21) if required
(depending on model)
1. Remove right and left table width extension
from the transport packaging.
2. Remove screws (33) at the guide rails of the
right and left table width extension.
3. Push the guide rails of the table width
extensions completely into the recesses.
Insert the table width extension with folding
length guide (20) on the right side.
4. Lift the device at the front legs, carefully tilt it
backwards and put it down so it will not fall
over.
5. Tighten again the screws (33) at the guide
rails.
6. Take the front legs of the device, carefully tilt it
forwards and put down.
7. Set the desired table width and lock the table
width extensions with locking screws (22).
Attaching the additional handle
The machine is supplied with a laser warning
label in German. Before using the machine, cover
this label with the relevant enclosed laser warning
label in your national language.
Installation
The device has to be mounted on a stable
support for safe working.
– The support can be either a firmly mounted work
top or work bench.
– Even when machining larger workpieces the
device has to have a secure stand.
– Long workpieces must get additional support
with suitable accessories.
Note:
For mobile use, the device can also be fixed to a
plywood or coreboard panel (500 mm x 500 mm,
at least 19 mm thick) using screws. During use,
the panel has to be fixed to a work bench using
screw clamps.
1. Fix device to the support using screws.
2. Loosen transport lock (9): Push saw head
slightly downwards and hold. Pull out transport
lock (9).
3. Swivel saw head slightly upwards.
Transport
1. Swivel saw head downwards and push in
transport lock (9).
Caution!
Do not hold the saw at the protective installations
during transport.
2. Lift the device at the handle (12) and carry it.
