# Sawing

##

- Always tighten the locking knob (11) and the clamping bolt (24) 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.

##

- Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
- Set the required mitre and/or bevel angle.
  When sawing mitre angles from left to right, you must pull the length stop (35) all the way out or remove it completely.
- Switch on the power tool.
- Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (4).
- Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
- Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade (39) has come to a complete stop.
- Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
