# Start-up

- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.

- Always tighten the locking knob (18) and the clamping wheel (45) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.

##

The worklight improves visibility in the immediate work area. You can achieve particularly good sawing results by using the worklight together with the cutting line that is marked by the laser beams.

- Switch on the worklight with the switch (5).

- Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind you.

##

- To switch on the power tool, first slide the lock-off button (7) to the middle and then press and hold the on/off switch (8).

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (8) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

##

- To switch off, release the on/off switch (8).

##

The Soft Start restricts the power consumption when the power tool is switched on and enables operation with a 16 A fuse.

Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after being switched on, this means that the Soft Start has failed. The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service without delay.
