Working with the machine

Risk of injury
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
8.1 Free hand according to the
scribe mark
The triangular shape of the splinterguard
3] shows the cutting line of the saw blade
and thus facilitates cutting to a scribe mark.
8.2 Plunge cutting without pilot
drilling
The base runner must be in the front position
for plunge cuts in timber materials (basic
setting, see Figure [1]).
Place saw on the front edge of the runner,
set saw to maximum no. of strokes and
pendulum stroke setting 3 and start the
plunge cut into the workpiece (Figure
