# Start-up

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

## Switching on (see figure M)

- To switch on the power tool, first slide the lock-off button (5) to the middle and then press and hold the on/off switch (6).

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (6) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

## Switching off

- To switch off, release the on/off switch (6).
