B) Plunge cuts
In order to avoid kickbacks, the
following in structions absolutely must be ob
served when plunge cutting:
– The machine must always be placed with
the rear edge of the saw table against a
fixed stop.
– When working with a guide rail, the ma
chine must be positioned against the kick
back stop [9-2], accessories), which is
clamped on the guide rail.
– The machine must always be held securely
with both hands and only plunged slowly.
Procedure
► Place the machine onto the workpiece and
position it against a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch the machine on.
► Slowly press it down onto the set cutting
depth and push it forward in the cutting di
rection.
The markings [10-1] display the absolute front
and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 6-1/4" (160 mm) at maximum cutting
depth and using the guide rail.
C) Aluminium processing
When processing aluminium,
the following measures must be taken for safe
ty reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing.
– Use a aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubri
cated with paraffin but thin-walled profiles
(up to 1/8" (3 mm)) can be sawed without
lubrication.
D) Plaster and cement-bonded fibre boards
Due to the high build-up of dust, use of a cover
ABSA-TS55 (accessory) mounted to the side of
the protective cover is recommended.
