Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
This tool can be used in the right hand or the left
hand.
Adjusting the sawing angle
(fig. D)
The default angle between the saw blade and
the shoe is 90°.
•
Use a square to check that the angle
between the saw blade and the shoe is 90°.
If the angle does not measure 90° adjust as
follows:
•
Loosen the locking knob (19) to unlock the
saw shoe.
•
Loosen the locknut (20) on the adjusting
screw (21).
•
Screw the adjusting screw in or out to
achieve a 90° angle.
•
Retighten the locknut.
•
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw
shoe in place.
Adjusting the depth of cut
(fig. E)
The depth of cut should be set according to the
thickness of the workpiece. It should exceed the
thickness by approx. 2 mm.
•
Loosen the knob (22) to unlock the saw
shoe.
•
Move the saw shoe (6) into the desired
position. The corresponding depth of cut can
be read from the scale (23).
•
Tighten the knob to lock the saw shoe in
place.
Adjusting the bevel angle (fig. F)
This tool can be set to bevel angles between 0°
and 45°.
•
Loosen the locking knob (19) to unlock the
saw shoe.
•
Move the saw shoe (8) into the desired
position. The corresponding bevel angle can
be read from the scale (24).
•
Tighten the locking knob to lock the saw shoe
in place.

Switching on and off

•
To switch the tool on, move the lock-off button
(2) into the unlock position and squeeze the
on/off switch (1).
•
To switch the tool off, release the on/off
switch.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
•
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
•
Work with the shoe pressed against the
workpiece.
Hints for optimum use
•
As some splintering along the line of cut on
the top side of the workpiece cannot be
avoided, cut on the side where splintering is
acceptable.
•
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g.
when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of
plywood onto the top of the workpiece.
