Guide rails and clamps (Fig. 1)

The guide rails allow precise and clean straight cuts, miter cuts and fitting. The rails also
protect the work piece surface from damages.
Fixing with the clamps ensures solid grip and safe work.
 Place the guide rail on the work piece and fix the guide rail with the clamps. Slide the bar

into the groove of the guide rail and tighten the clamp with the lever.

 Place the plunge saw on the guide rail. The base plate has a groove (13), which exactly

fits into the guide ridge of the rail.

8 OPERATION

8.1

Switching ON/OFF

 Press the switch lock (2) and then the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch the plunge saw on.
 Release the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch the plunge saw off.
Notes: Pressing the switch lock (2) unlocks the plunge cut mechanism at the same time, so
that the motor can be moved downwards. The saw blade emerges from the protective cover.
When lifting the saw the motor slides back into the initial position.

8.2

Setting the cutting depth

The cutting depth can be set between 0 - 54 mm:
 Loosen the cutting depth limit stop knob (9) and slide it to the desired cutting depth

according to the graduated scale (11) to set the cutting depth.

Note: The graduated values on the scale (11) apply for straight cuts (90° cut).
The guide rail depth adjustment stopper (10) must be tilted up when using the plunge saw
without guide rail. Only when using the plunge saw with guide rail, the guide rail depth
adjustment stopper is used to compensate for the thickness of the guide rail.
Using the guide rail = guide rail depth adjustment stopper down.
Not using the guide rail = guide rail depth adjustment stopper up.
 Tighten the cutting depth limit stop knob (9). The motor or respectively the saw blade can

now be pushed down to the set cutting depth.

For a clean, safe cut set the cutting depth in such way that only max. one saw blade tooth
protrudes under the work piece.
