the guide groove provided (Fig. [7A]). This ena
bles a secure hold, even on uneven surfaces.
Non-slip strips are attached to the bottom of
the guide rail so that the guide rail can be
placed down safely and to prevent scratches on
the surface of the material.
CAUTION
During mitre-cutting, the tool may collide
with fastening clamps or quick-action
clamps .
► Only tilt the saw at such an angle to pre
vent the chain colliding with the clamp.
10.2 Angle stop (FS‑AG-2)
The combination of the guide rail [7-1] and the
continuously adjustable angle stop [7-3] allows
accurate angled cuts, e.g. for fitting work.
► Attach the angle stop [7-3] as shown in
Fig. [7B].
► The required cutting angle can be set on the
scale [4-3].
10.3 Installation of the connecting piece
(FSV)
Depending on the application and size of the
workpiece, you can connect multiple guide rails
using the connecting piece [7-4] (Fig. [7C]). To
ensure that the guide rail is securely connec
ted, you can lock the connecting springs in the
corresponding threaded holes using screws.
10.4 Quick-action clamp (FS‑RAPID/L)
Using this accessory [7-5], you can quickly se
cure the guide bar, which is inserted into the
lower groove. It is secured by pressing the trig
ger. Pressing the locking button releases the
fastening.
CAUTION
During mitre-cutting, the tool may collide
with the handle of the quick-action clamp.
► After tightening, the handle of the quick-
action clamp must be turned to the left to
wards the material to avoid collisions even
at the maximum mitre angle of 60°.
