▪ Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill.
An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts
whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw.
▪ For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
▪ Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of
technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have
the saw repaired by a professional.
8 PREPARATION
8.1 Blade replacement and installation (Fig. 1-3)
▪ Before changing the saw blade, switch off the machine and unplug the power cord.
▪ Push the safety switch and press the handle down.
▪ Push the locking lever (12) forward. Release the switch lock (3). The motor unit will lock
into place.
▪ Push the spindle lock (14) and use the hex key (17) to undo the clamping screw anti-
clockwise.
▪ Remove the flange from the saw blade (11).
▪ Install the new blade (11) in the respective reverse order.
▪ Caution: risk of injuries, wear protective gloves.
▪ Insert the new blade and flange.
▪ Screw in and tighten the saw blade clamping screw while keeping the shaft locking button
pressed again.
▪ Set the plunge saw to its original position.
8.2 Connecting the rail (Fig. 4)
▪ The rail (19) is used to make straight cuts. To connect the two rails, slide the fastener into
the notch on the guide tracks. Tighten the set screws (20) with the included hex key (17).
▪ Note: Rail (19) features a splinter guard (black rubber lip). Place the rail (19) on a work
piece. Set to a cutting depth of approx. 10 mm. Switch on the plunge saw and steadily
guide it in the direction of the cut, pushing slightly. This cuts off the guard perfectly in line
with the cut ensuring that set-up for future cuts is easy.
9 OPERATION
9.1 Switching ON/OFF (Fig. 5)
The on/off switch (4) is operated in conjunction with a safety release button (3) so that it is not
possible to start the saw by accident.
▪ To start the saw, press the safety button (3) first and then press the on/off switch (4).
▪ To switch off, release the on/off switch (4).
9.2 Dust extraction (Fig. 6)
▪ Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to health. The dust outlet (10) must be
connected with a dust extraction machine.
Warning: All wood dust (including dust from composites like chipboards and fibre boards etc.)
is hazardous to health. It can affect the nose, the respiratory system and the skin. For example
MDF (medium density fibreboard) which contains formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In
addition to the above measures a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for the activity and in
accordance to the relevant standard, must be worn.
9.3 Cutting depth adjustment (Fig. 7)
▪ The cutting depth can be adjusted from 0-56 mm.
▪ Unfasten the cutting depth adjustment knob (6) and set the required depth using the scale
(7) and retighten the knob.
