Instructions for use

Clamp the workpiece. Make sure that the side which will be visible later is
facing down, because the cut is most accurate at that side.
Switch on the machine before it touches the workpiece. Do not exert pressure
on the saw blade. Allow the machine enough time to cut the workpiece.
Hold the machine with both hands using both grips. This ensures optimum
control over the machine.
For straight cuts along a drawn line use the marking for straight cuts.
For bevel cuts along a drawn line use the marking for bevel cuts.

Switching on and off (fig. 5)

To switch the tool on, keep the lock-off button (2) depressed and press the
on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch.

Dust extraction

A vacuum cleaner can be connected to the dust extraction outlet, either directly to

If necessary, connect an adapter to the extraction outlet.
9.4

Laser beam

The laser beam is used for projection of the cut on the workpiece.
Switch the laser (14) on by means of the laser on/off switch (13). If you press
again the LED light works and if you press a 3
laser will work.
Place the machine on the workpiece with the saw marking above the start of
the cutting line.
Check that the laser line aligns with the cutting line as marked on the
workpiece.
Switch on the machine.
Follow the "instructions for use" to perform a cut.
After use , switch off the laser.
