Locking lever Guide roller Rail 1. Disengage the locking lever by lifting and pivoting the lever upwards. ◁ Spring pressure holds the locking lever in the “open” position. 2. Lift the saw head by the grips and place it on the previously fastened rail. Make sure that the guide rollers are positioned correctly.
7.1.1 Installing the rail and flush-cutting saw head ▶ When installing, make sure that the saw blade does not come into contact with the material, as otherwise friction losses would reduce the saw's performance. ▶ Allow approx. 5 mm of extra clearance between saw blade and material, or use the leveling screws rail support to set the saw to a slight angle.
WARNING Risk of unintentional starting! The saw could start unintentionally when the electric supply cable is plugged in. ▶ Press the emergency stop button on the remote control unit before connecting the electric supply cable. CAUTION Risk of accident! Incorrectly positioned cables and hoses can result in damage to the equipment or other property.
▶ Do not use worn mounting or clamping flanges (wear may be caused, for example, by the blade slipping or by abrasion at its outer diameter). ▶ Use only genuine Hilti accessories and mounting bolts. ▶ Mount the saw blade in the correct direction of rotation.

Saw arm Fastening screws & Inner flange Outer ring on inner flange Saw-blade flange Locking pin Hex key Lever, keyless locking system 1. Position the saw blade so that the mount on the saw blade is at a right angle to the rail.
4. Turn the inner flange until the screws in the inner flange point toward the mount on the saw-blade flange. 5. Pivot the saw arm up. ◁ The mount on the inner flange is guided into the mount on the saw-blade flange. 6.
4. Pivot the saw arm toward the rail. Hold the saw blade so that it cannot topple or drop out when released. ◁ The inner flange on the saw arm disengages from the mount on the saw-blade flange. ◁ The saw blade is now completely disengaged from the saw and can be carried away with the carrying handle.
3. Secure the blade guard side section with the tensioning bar. ◁ The blade guard middle section and side section then form a unit that can be removed or refitted to the blade guard holder as a single unit. 4. Secure the complete blade guard to the blade guard holder by pulling the rubber tensioning strap over the tensioning lug.
Guidelines and guide values The initial or guide cut The initial cut is known as the guide cut. This cut should always be made with the saw arm in the trailing position (i.e. pulling the blade). The depth of the cut depends on the material (hard, soft or masonry). Technical data Cutting depth for the guide cut ≈...
CAUTION Risk of injury! A hot saw blade presents a risk of burning injury. Sharp edges present a risk of cutting injury. ▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the saw blade. 8. Remove the saw blade. 9. Lift the saw head off the rail. 10.Dismantle the rail system.
WARNING Risk of personal injury and damage to the equipment or other property! Water finding its way into the saw may result in damage to the saw and increase the risk of electric shock. ▶ Do not use a high-pressure water-jet cleaning system to clean the saw head, remote control unit or cables.
10.2 Inspection ▶ Have the machine checked by Hilti Service at intervals of 100 operating hours. The remote control unit shows the number of operating hours remaining until the next service is due. ▶ Check all visible parts and controls for signs of damage at regular intervals and make sure that they all function correctly.
To help ensure safe and reliable operation, use only genuine Hilti spare parts and consumables. Spare parts, consumables and accessories approved by Hilti for use with the product can be found at your local Hilti Center or online at www.hilti.com Transport and storage ▶...
