WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always pull the mains plug out of the sock
et before performing any type of work on
the machine!
8.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave phase control
electronics with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Constant speed
The motor speed is electronically kept con
stant. This ensures a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [1-10] (see Technical data). This enables
you to optimise the cutting speed to suit specific
surfaces (see table).

Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature
level, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at
reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor rapidly. The power tool resumes to
full performance automatically once the motor
has cooled sufficiently.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re
moved.
8.2 Adjusting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted to between 0
and 2-1/8" (55 mm) on the cutting depth
stop [3-1]:
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to
the set cutting depth.

8.3 Adjusting the cutting angle
between 0° and 45°:
► Unscrew the rotary knobs [4-1].
► Swivel the sawing unit to the desired cutting
angle [4-2].
► Tighten the rotary knobs [4-1].
Both positions (0° and 45°) are set at
the factory and can be readjusted by
the customer service team.
When making angled cuts, slide the view
ing window/splinter guard to the highest
position.
