8.6 Sawing grooves
The continuously adjustable groove depth limit can
be used to individually define groove areas using
the total cutting depth. Grooving or facing is there-
fore possible at any height for any workpiece size.

The round shape of the saw blade means that,
when grooving, a slight cutting curve upwards is
required. For grooving that is precisely horizon-
tal, a tap block must be clamped between the
workpiece and the stop ruler so that a clearance
of 4 cm can be guaranteed.

Move the machine into the working position.

may
Only turn down the lever for the groove depth
limit [1-4] if the saw unit is in the upper position
(= working position).

Pull the lever for the groove depth limit [1-4] to
the front.
The saw unit can now be pushed down only as
4
.
far as the preset cutting depth.

Turn the lever for the groove depth limit to set
the required depth (turn to the left = increase
the groove depth, turn to the right = decrease
the groove depth)
Push down the saw unit as a trial run to check
whether the groove depth limit is set to the required
groove depth.

Only push the saw unit down when the lever for
the groove depth limit has engaged in one of the
two end positions. Risk of damage to the power
tool.

Make the cuts.

To deactivate the groove depth limit, reset the
lever [1-4].
