• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
and do not exert side pressure on the
saw blade.
• Avoid overloading.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
• Make sure the guards have been mounted
correctly.
The saw blade guard must be in closed position.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction
of the arrow on the blade.
• Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
Switching on and off (fig. A)
For safety reasons the on/off-switch (1) of your trim
saw is equipped with a lock-off button (2).
• Press the lock-off button to unlock the tool.
• To run the tool, press the on/off-switch. As soon
as the on/off-switch is released the lock-off
switch is automatically activated to prevent
unintended starting of the machine.
Do not switch the tool on or off when the
saw blade touches the workpiece or
other materials.
Holding and guiding the trim saw (fig. A)
• Hold the tool by the main grip and the front
handle (3) to guide the saw properly.
• For optimum results, clamp the workpiece
bottom up.
• Use the kerf indicator (7) to follow the line drawn
on the workpiece. The kerf indicator lines up with
the left (outer) side of the saw blade when set to
45° bevel. The kerf indicator lines up with the
right (inner) side of the saw blade when set to 0°
bevel.
Dust extraction (fig. A)
Your tool is fitted with a dust extraction spout (5).
• Always use a vacuum extractor designed in
compliance with the applicable Directives
regarding dust emission when sawing wood.
Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum cleaners
will fit directly into the dust extraction spout.
Do not use a vacuum extractor without
proper spark protection when sawing
metal.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
