Guide system (fi g. 1, 5)
The guide rails, which are available in different
lengths, allow for precise, clean cuts and
simultaneously protect the workpiece surface
against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact
angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be
completed with the guide rail system.
Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a
secure hold and safe working.
The guide clearance of the plunge saw must be very
small for best cutting results and can be set with the
two rail adjusters (j).
1. Release the screw inside the rail adjuster to
adjust the clearance.
2. Adjust the knob until saw locks on rail.
3. Rotate knob back until saw slides easily.
4. Hold the rail adjuster in position and lock the
screw again.
NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with
other rails.
SPLINTERGUARD
The guide rail is equipped with a splinterguard,
which has to be cut to size before the first use:
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the guide
system instruction before cutting the splinterguard!
1. Set the speed of the plunge saw to level 5.
2. Place the guide rail on a scrap piece of wood.
3. Set the plunge saw on 5 mm cut depth
4. Place the saw on the rear end of the guide rail.
5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set
cutting depth and cut the splinterguard along
the full length in one contiuous operation. The
edge of the splinterguard now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge of the blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
ALWAYS secure the guide rail (w) with a
clamp (x).
Speed adjustment (fi g. 1)
The speed can be regulated between 1750 and
4000/min using the speed wheel (s). This enables
you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
material. Refer to the following chart for type of
material and speed range.
