Use
@
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do

Switching on and off (g. A)
Note: Before engaging the on/off switch, check the saw blade 
to see if it is tted properly and runs smoothly, and the blade 
clamp screw is well tightened.
 ● Push the trigger lock and shoe release button (10) to 
release the trigger.

Adjusting cutting depth (0-28,5 mm) (g.B)
 ● Loosen clamp (3).
 ● Set desired cutting depth using scale (2).
 ● Tighten clamp (3)
 ● For an optimal quality cut, the saw blade should not 
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
 ● Be aware that the actual depth of cut of the diamond
  disc differs approx. 2 mm from the depth of cut indicated 
on scale (2).
Note: Always make trial cuts rst to verify actual line of cut.
Dust suction (g.C) 
 ● Connect vacuum cleaner hose (19) to connection (13) and
  vacuum cleaner as illustrated.
@
Warning! Never let the vacuum cleaner hose 
interfere with the lower guard or the cutting 
operation.

any maintenance, ensure the tool is off and 
disconnected from the power source.

 ● Use hex key (15) provided.
 ● Push spindle-lock button (14) and hold (Fig. E).
  Remove blade bolt (9) by turning hex key (15)
  CLOCKWISE (= in same direction as arrow imprinted on

 ● Set desired cutting depth.
 ● Connect plug to power source. 
 ● Press button (10) with your thumb.
 ● Place tool with front end of foot at on workpiece.
 ● Tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator (20) lined up with

workpiece.
 ● Switch on the tool.
 ● The tool should run at full speed before the blade enters 
into the workpiece.
 ● Do not force the tool (apply light and continuous
  pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade tips and, 
in case of cutting plastics, melting the plastic material).
 ● While working, always hold the tool at the insulated grip 
area(s).
 ● After completing the cut switch off tool by releasing trigger 
(1).
