Operation
Observe the safety instructions and warnings in this documentation and on the product.
6.1
Using a dust extractor
The dust extractor reduces dust emissions, increases working safety by providing better visibility of
the cutting line and reduces exposure to dust and wood chips at the workplace.
1. Fit the guard. → page 23
2. Always use a dust extractor when working over a lengthy period with wood or materials that can cause
high dust concentrations.
6.2
Setting the cutting angle
1. Remove the suction adapter. → page 25
2. Slacken the screw on the base plate.
3. Adjust the base plate to the desired cutting angle (from 0° to 45° in both directions).
▶ At the 0° cutting angle, the base plate is held in a rotation-locked position. To set a different cutting
angle, you must first pull the base plate to the rear.
▶ When you return the base plate to the 0° cutting angle, push the base plate forward again to re-engage
it in this rotation-locked position.
4. Retighten the screw.
▶ The base plate is clamped securely.
6.3

the battery inserted afterward.
Slide the on/off switch back and then forward again.

3. Hold the product securely and press the on/off switch.
4. Press the product firmly against the workpiece and begin the plunge cut by slowly reducing the angle of
attack.
