5.6 Backward sawing
Sawing close to a corner can mean that the base plate support is very small and that angular approach is
difficult. In such a case, it may be useful to saw backwards with the machine.
Use the following procedure to saw backward
with the machine:
1.
Insert the saw blade the wrong way round.

➢
blade.
2.
Saw against the normal direction of sawing.

Be aware that the pendulum stroke cannot be used during this sawing operation, and must
be switched off.
For this, set the operating lever (3) to position 0.
5.7 Working with the parallel guide fence
The parallel guide fence B can be inserted into the
guide of the machine on both sides.
The parallel guide fence has 4 different functions:
•
Parallel guide fence
•
Ancillary support
•
Rail adapter for the guide rail
•
Circle cutter with compass pin or point
In the function as a circle cutter, the inserts in the
parallel guide fence (compass point (8) and compass
pin (9)) can be used.
For a circular cut with 68 mm [2.68 in] diameter (e.g.
for cavity sockets or recessed spotlights), the inserts
can be inserted directly into the base plate. For a
circular cut with variable diameter, use the inserts on
the parallel guide fence.
