• Hold the work using clamps or a vice to have
both hands free to operate the saw.
• Let the saw do the job. Do not put undue pres-
sure on the saw.
Sawing
• Check the technical data to see whether the
saw is suitable for use with the material to be
sawn.
• Fit a suitable blade. Make sure the blade is
sharp and undamaged.
• Set the sawing depth.
• Place the material to be sawn on a flat surface,
such as a work bench, a table or the floor. If, for
example, you are working on a concrete floor,
place something, such as a piece of cardboard,
under the material to protect the surface and
the blade.
• Insert the mains plug into the mains.
• Hold the saw firmly and fit the metal base plate
to the material to be sawn. Make sure the rear
of the plate protrudes over the workbench.
Do not yet press the saw into the object to be
sawn.
• Turn on the saw and wait a couple of seconds
until the saw is moving at full speed. Press the
saw slowly and carefully, but firmly, into the
material. Next, push the saw forwards along the
cutting line. Never pull the saw backwards.
• Only a small force is required to lead the saw al-
ong the cutting line. Too much force will cause
damage and fatigue to the blade and the saw.
• Make sure the base plate is always flat against
the object to be sawn. This is particularly impor-
tant at the start and finish points of the sawing
line or when small strips must be sawn and the
base plate is not supported everywhere.
• After sawing, lift the saw upwards and turn it
off. If a lot of sawdust has been created, allow
the saw to continue running until all the dust
has been removed.
Always saw in the forwards direction. Never
pull the saw backwards. If you do not have
much experience using the saw, first
practice sawing wood until you become
more skilled.
It is not possible to cut pieces out of some
hard materials.

Warning! Never saw material where harmful
substances are released, such as PTFE or
asbestos.
Ceramic tiles and slate
• Use a suitable blade. It is necessary to use dust
extraction, because the dust which is created
can hinder the movement of the protective cover.
• Place protective tape or PVC tape on the base
plate or on the object to be sawn. This makes
it easier to saw and protects the tiles against
becoming scratched.
Practice sawing wood before trying
something more complicated, such as
metal or some types of plastic. More force
is required to hold the object to be sawn
and you may sometimes have to use clamps
to keep the object in place.
Dust extraction (Fig. A)
The Mini plunge saw is a powerful saw. A lot of
dust will be produced when sawing. Since the
blade is fully enclosed, it is necessary to extract
the dust.
A vacuum cleaner can be attached to the sa-
w's dust extraction pipe (8) using the dust adapter
included with the machine.
• Make sure the vacuum cleaner is suitable for
use with an electrical machine. In general,
household water and dust vacuum cleaners are
suitable.
• It is recommended to use dust extraction when
a lot of sawing is to carried out, because less
breaks will then be required to clean the saw
and the surroundings.
• It is necessary to extract the dust when sawing
dangerous materials, such as hardwood, MDF
and ceramics.
• It is recommended to extract dust if you wish to
keep the work area clean.
• It is necessary to extract the dust if the material
to be sawn is damp.
5. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning and maintenance, always
switch off the machine and remove the
mains plug from the mains.
