# Sawing

##

- Always tighten the locking knob (16) and the clamping wheel (45) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.

- For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of the intended use.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the fence.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported.

Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must open when the tool arm is guided downwards. When the tool arm is guided upwards, the retracting blade guard must close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position of the tool arm.

##

- Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.

- Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
- Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of the tool arm.

##

- For cuts made using the slide device (2) (wide workpieces), loosen the locking screw (1) if it is tightened.
- Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary.
- Press the workpiece firmly against the fences (25) and (26).
- Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
- Pull the tool arm away from the fence (25) until the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
- Switch the power tool on.
- Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (7).
- Now push the tool arm towards the fences (25) and (26) and saw through the workpiece with uniform feed.
- Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
- Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.

##

- For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loosen the locking screw (1) if it is tightened. Push the tool arm all the way towards the fence (25) and retighten the locking screw (1).
- Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle as necessary.
- Press the workpiece firmly against the fences (25) and (26).
- Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
- Switch the power tool on.
- Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (7).
- Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
- Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
- Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
