Cut markings
The cut markings (3) show the position of the
saw blade for a right-angled cut (mark-
ing [0°]) and for a 45° cut (marking [45°]).
Sawing
– Place the material to be cut on an even,
suitable surface and secure to prevent it
slipping.
– Mark the line of the cut.
– Set the required cutting depth ( Setting
the cutting depth – p. 39).
– Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
– Place the base plate (9) on the work piece
in such a way that the saw blade touches
nothing and the cut markings (7) lie on the
cutting line.
– Press the On/Off switch with the switch
lock held down and hold them down.
– Wait until the blade has reached maxi-
mum cutting speed.
– Guide the saw forwards across the work
piece, keep it horizontal and moving con-
stantly forwards until the cut is completed
(never pull the saw backwards!).

When sawing, the base plate must
rest safety and fully on the work piece.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Never use
your hand to hold the work piece when
working! Always clamp the work piece
firmly in place.
Do not process work pieces that are
too small to be clamped.
NOTICE! Risk of damage to the
unit! Only use saw blades that are
appropriate for the material you are
processing.
Always operate the saw with gentle
force.
Note: To achieve clean cuts, keep to a
straight cutting line and guide the saw
forwards at a constant speed.
