Brake
The saw comes with an electronic brake. The
saw blade is stopped electronically within ap­
proximately two seconds of switching off the
machine.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper­
ature. The power tool continues operating at re­
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi­
ciently.
8.2 Adjusting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set at 0 ‑ 2-1/8"
(0 ‑ 55 mm) at the cutting depth stop [3-1].
The saw unit can now be pushed downwards as
far as the cutting depth that is set.
Cutting depth without guide rail
max. 2‑1/8" (55 mm)
Cutting depth with FS guide rail
max. 1‑15/16" (51 mm)

between 0° and 45°:
► Unscrew the rotary knobs [4-1].

tomer service team.
When making angled cuts, slide the view­
ing window/splinter guard to the highest
position.
To undercut -1° and 47°:
► Swivel the saw unit to the end position (0°/
45°) as described above.
► Pull out the release button [4-3] slightly.
► For -1° undercuts, also pull the release
button [4-4].
The saw unit engages in the -1°/47° position.
