4.3 Switching the machine on and off

Keep the machine steady during switching and

during use by holding the handle (1.10) and the additional

handle (1.11) with both hands.

To switch on, first push the cut-in and release block (9.1)

forwards, and then press the „On“-“Off“ switch (9.2). You can

then press the machines down for sawing, and release the

cut-in and release block. To switch off, release the „On“-“Off“

switch.

After the machine has been switched off, the

saw blade will still rotate for a time. Take care that parts of

your body do not come into contact with the saw blade while

it is still rotating!

As soon as you remove the machine from the workpiece once

sawing has been completed, the machine automatically returns

to its basic position and the saw blade is again completely

covered by the protective covering.

4.4 Sawing

The machine must reach full speed before cutting

begins and should only be switched off once cutting has

finished.

Only operate the saw away from you (pushing

the circular saw forwards) and never towards you (pulling

the circular saw backwards). If you saw towards you, there is

the danger that the circular saw might be accelerated out of

the cutting groove (recoil) and cause serious injury.

The cutting line for the saw blade can be observed via a cutting

edge (10.3) at the front of the saw table. The cutting edge

lying behind (10.2) is used when cutting at 45° without the

guide rail.

The most advanced cutting point is visible in the viewing

window (10.1).
Sawing sections:

- Place the front part of the saw bench on the workpiece.

- Switch the machine on, and press the saw down to the set

cutting depth.

- Push the machine in the direction of cut. Take care that the

saw bench remains firmly on the workpiece.

- Switch the machine off when cutting is completed.

Plunge cuts:

In conjunction with the guide system (see Section 6.2), plunge

cuts can be made with the AT 65 E. The riving knife must be

removed for plunge cuts.

- Set the machine to the maximum cutting depth.

- With max. cutting depth, the marking (11.3) on the protective

cover shows the furthest point to which a saw blade with a

diameter of 190 mm will saw. Set the hand-operated circular

saw on the guide rail, and align this by means of this marking.

- Set the guide limit (11.2, Order no. 485 827) directly behind

the saw bench on the guide rail, and tighten the clamping

lever / screw (11.1). When the machine plunges, the circular

saw must securely abut the guide limit, otherwise there is

the danger of a recoil!

- Switch the machine on, and plunge the saw.

- Push the machine in the direction of sawing.

- Switch the machine off once cutting is completed.
