be moved down only as far as the preset cutting
depth.
– Turn the lever for the cutting depth limiter to set
the required cutting depth.
– To deactivate the cutting depth limiter, move the
cutting depth limiter lever up again.

Fixed horizontal position

Turn the rotary knob (17.2) to clamp the saw unit
in any position along the guide rod (17.3).

Switching on the laser

The machine has two lasers which the mark the
kerf on the right and left of the saw blade, allow-
ing you to align the workpiece on both sides (left
or right side of the saw blade or kerf).
18.1
– Press the button (18.1) to switch the lasers on
and off. If the machine is not used for 30 minutes,
the laser switches off automatically and must be
restarted if needed again.

Operation

Risk of personal injury. Follow the
safety rules below:
• Before starting work, make sure that the saw
blade cannot touch the stop ruler, workpiece
clamp, screw clamps or other machine parts.
• Do not cross your hands in front of the saw unit;
never hold the workpiece with your left hand to
the right of the saw blade and vice versa.
• Do not overload the machine so much that it
stops.

safety rules below:
• Always use the workpiece clamp to secure work-
pieces. The holding rod (19A.2) must be positioned
securely on the workpiece. (Note: auxiliary tools
may be needed depending on the contour of the
workpiece, e.g. curved contours).
• Never machine workpieces that are to small to
clamp properly.
• Make sure that the saw blade cannot pull the
workpiece backwards into the gap between the
saw blade and the stop ruler. Users are at par-
ticular risk when performing horizontal mitre
cuts.
• To guarantee safe clamping of the workpieces
they must have a minimum length of 200 mm.
• Reinforce very thin workpieces (19B.2) by
sawing them together with an additional strip
(19B.1). Very thin workpieces can wobble or
break when being cut.
