Note: guide tracks
21
feature a chipping guard
(black rubber lip). The chipping guard must be ad-
justed before making the first cut. Place the guide
track on a work piece. Set to a cutting depth of ap-
prox. 10 mm. Switch on the plunge saw and steadily
guide it in the direction of the cut, pushing slightly.
Eccentric screws
10
The eccentric screws
10
are intended for adjusting the
accuracy of fit of the saw table
9
to the fence
21
.
Tighten the eccentric screws
10
to minimize the
clearance between the plunge saw and the
fence

.
Cutting (without guide track)
Perpendicular cuts
Hold the tool by the handles
3
and
15
with
both hands.
Switch on the device as described under “Swit-
ching on and off“.
Start the tool down on the work piece at the
front of the saw stand
9
.
Move the motor downward and cut, applying
steady forward pressure, never backwards.
Mitre cuts to 45 °
Set the cutting angle and cut line as specified.
Hold the tool by the handles
3
and
15
with
both hands.
Switch on the device as described under “Swit-
ching on and off“. Start the tool down on the
work piece at the front of the saw stand
9
.
Move the motor downward and cut, applying
steady forward pressure, never backwards.
Plunge cuts
When “plunge cutting“ at angles other than a
right angle, secure the base plate of the saw
from sliding sideways. Lateral movement can
cause the saw blade to jam, hence kickback.
Set the desired plunge depth as specified above.
Start the tool down on the work piece.
Prevent kickback and place the back edge
against a stopper (similar to Figure D referenced
in section “Plunge saws with fence“).
Switch on the device as described under “Swit-
ching on and off“.
Hold the tool by the handles,
3
and
15
, with
both hands and swivel it.
Note: The cutting width marker
16
on the side of
the guard indicates the front and back cutting points
of a 165 mm saw blade at maximum cutting depth.
This applies to plunge cuts with fence
21
as well as
plunge cuts without fence

.
