off and on again to reset.
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the
speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain
temperature. The machine continues operating
at reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor quickly. The machine starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi -
ciently.
Brake (CS 70 EB only)
After the machine switches off, the saw blade
is electronically brought to a standstill in 3 sec-
onds.
Restart protection
The integral undervoltage release prevents the
machine from automatically starting up again
after an interruption in power when the machine
is used in continuous operating mode.
The machine will have to be switched back on in
this case.
7.2 Set-up position
Always move the saw to set-up position before
making any adjustments:
The saw is locked in rest position on delivery.
Turn the rotary knob [2-6] anticlockwise to re-
lease the lock and pull the saw forwards.
Push the stop lever [1-7].
The saw is locked in the front position.
7.3 Adjusting the cutting depth
Proceed as follows to adjust the cutting depth
in set-up position to any setting between 0 -
70 mm:
Turn the cutting depth adjuster [1-8].

Set a cutting depth 2 - 5 mm greater than the
thickness of the workpiece to produce an ac-
curate cut.
7.4 Adjusting the mitre angle
The saw blade can be tilted between 0° and 45°
in set-up position:
Unscrew the rotary knob [2-4].
Adjust the mitre angle using the rotary handle
[2-3] with reference to the scale [2-5].
Tighten the rotary knob [2-4].
