ADJUSTING THE BASEPLATE ANGLE
Fig.D
•
To let the baseplate follow properly and rest on the
workpiece with certainty, you can adjust the basepla-
te's angle according to enclosed drawing.
•
The baseplate can also be extended by loosening the
two adjustment screws with the 4 mm socket head
wrench (figure A8) and subsequently extending the
baseplate to the desired length.
Make sure that the baseplate's fastening screws
are fixed tightly before using the machine again.
SAWING TIPS
•
Adjust the saw blade and the speed to the material to
be processed. For rectangular curves it is recom-
mended that you use a thin saw blade. Use cooling
agent or lubricant to prevent the saw from slamming
along the saw line of the material.
•
Check wood, chipboard, building material, etc. for
the presence of unusual objects (nails, screws, etc.)
before starting to saw. Remove these, if necessary.
•
Secure the material properly. Never support the
workpiece with the hand or the foot. Never touch
objects or the floor while the saw is still running (dan-
ger of backlash).
•
It is not allowed to saw material containing asbestos!
•
Place the baseplate onto the surface of the work-
piece, and saw through it with a constant contact
pressure of the foot. When the saw blade gets jam-
med, switch off the machine immediately. Make the
hole bigger using proper tools and subsequently pull
out the saw blade.
•
When you have finished with the work, switch off the
machine and do not put it down until it has come to a
complete standstill.

INLAY SAWS
Fig.E
•
Inlay saws are only allowed in soft materials like
wood, cellular concrete, plasterboard, etc.
•
However, it demands a certain practice and can only
be done using short saw blades.
•
Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch on the
machine.
•
Leave the bottom edge of the baseplate rest on the
workpiece surface, see figure.
•
Slowly saw at an angle in the workpiece, bring the saw
to a vertical position and continue sawing along the
saw line.
•
Switch off the machine and lift the workpiece when
the work is finished.
SURFACE SAWS
•
With elastic bimetallic saw blades it is possible to saw
off objects that are sticking out (like water pipes, iron
bars, etc.) level with the wall.
•
Place the saw blade directly against the wall and bend
it slightly so that the baseplate is resting against the
wall.
•
Switch on the machine and saw off the object, main-
taining a constant side pressure to the wall.
The machine has no parts that need maintenance. Quali-
fied maintenance engineers must carry out all repairs or
service activities.
