The rotary knob [1-5] locks the saw unit so that
it can no longer be moved forwards or back
wards.
The spotlight SL-KS60 (available as
an accessory depending on the mod
el) casts a shadow over the saw blade
and onto the workpiece. Use the
On/Off switch [2-3] to activate this
function. The cutting line becomes
visible when the saw unit is lowered.
Slide-sawing
When slide-sawing, the saw blade is guided to
the workpiece from the front, which means the
sawing is controlled and requires less effort.
Recommended for workpieces over 70 mm in
width.
Correct sawing process when slide-sawing

not pull the lowered saw unit up to the
body. The saw blade could hook in and the saw
unit could accelerate towards the operator.
