 Switch the plunge saw on and push the saw down. Cut the splinter guard continuously
over the entire length. The edge of the splinter guard now exactly matches the cutting
edge.
14 KICKBACK STOP
The kickback stop is designed to prevent operator injuries due to kickback.
When working with the guide rail the kickback stop (6) automatically clicks into place on the
base plate as soon as the base plate is placed on the guide rail. The kickback stop (6)
counteracts the movement if you try to guide the plunge saw on the guide rail back or if the
saw kicks back, e.g. due to the saw blade jamming.
 Turn the spring-loaded screw of the kickback stop (6) towards 0 to manually unlock. Now
the saw can be moved forward and back.
 Release the spring-loaded screw for the kickback stop to click into place on the guide rail
again.
After a kickback always check the guide rail for damages and dispose of a damaged guide rail
to prevent accidents.
15 PLUNGE CUT WITH GUIDE RAIL

 Switch the plunge saw on and wait until it runs on full speed.
 Push the saw slowly down and guide the saw towards the plunge position.
Note: The cutting width markings (15) at the side of the protective cover show the foremost
and rearmost cutting points of the saw blade at maximum cutting depth when using the guide
rail and a 165 mm diameter saw blade.
