–Turn crank 19 clockwise to the stop, so that
the saw blade 26 is in the highest possible
position above the saw table.
– Push the riving knife 25 down to the stop.
Starting Operation
f Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of
the power source must correspond with the
data on the type plate of the machine.
Switching On (see figure Q1)
– Tilt safety flap 20 upward.
– To start the operation, press the green ON
pushbutton 52.
– Tilt safety flap 20 down again.
Switching Off (see figure Q2)
– Press on the safety flap 20.
Power Failure
The ON/OFF switch is a so-called non-voltage
switch, which prevents the power tool from re-
starting after a power failure (e. g., when the
mains plug is pulled during operation).
To restart the operation of the machine after-
wards, the green ON button 52 must be pressed
again.
Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
f For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the stops or other machine parts.
f Use the machine for grooving or rebating
only with an appropriately suitable protec-
tive device (e. g. a tunnel blade guard).
f Do not use the machine for cutting slots.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
The riving knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade to avoid jamming of the workpiece.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the parallel guide.
Always keep/store the push stick with the pow-
er tool.
Position of the Operator (see figure R)
f Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in
front of the machine. Always stand aside of
the saw blade. This protects your body
against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the
rotating saw blade.
Observe the following instructions:
– Hold the workpiece securely with both hands
and press it firmly against the saw table.
– When sawing narrow workpieces and bevel
angles, always use the supplied hold-down
stick 23 and the auxiliary parallel guide 37.

When sawing, the blade guard must always
face lightly against the workpiece.

feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stop.
