Cross-cut sawing mode
11.1.1
Safety instructions for the movable saw blade guard (Fig. 2)
The movable saw blade guard protects against accidental contact with the saw blade and
flying wood splinters.
The movable saw blade guard must always return automatically to the start position, whenever
the saw head is lifted. The saw blade must be covered at all sides, when the saw head is
located in the start position.
11.1.2
Safety lock (Fig. 3)
The safety lock blocks the saw head in the topmost position, and it prevents that the movable
saw blade guard exposes the saw blade.
The safety lock is released by pushing on it. The saw head can now be lowered; as the saw
head is lowered, the saw blade guard retracts and the saw blade is freed.
After a cut has been made, and when the saw head is back in the topmost starting position,
the movable saw blade guard is once more blocked by the safety lock.
