Sawing
The saw has an “Intelligent Power Control.” The Intelligent Power Control ensures a
constant speed independent of the load on the motor from feed pressure or material
strength.
1. Turn the saw on as described above and, without the workpiece touching the ro-
tating saw blade, place the front edge of the base plate
11
against the material
to be sawed.
2. Align the saw using the parallel fence
9
, the laser guide, or a marked line.
3. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and cut the material using a steady forward
pressure.
Recommendations for use
− Use the cutting guides according to the selected
cutting angle:
Cutting at right angles = 0° mark; Cutting with the
mitre gauge = 45° mark.
− When cutting delicate materials, such as laminated
hardboard or veneered doors, you can avoid a
breakout of material along the cut line by sticking
painter’s tape along the cut. In addition, a helpline marked on the rough side of
the painter’s tape is more visible than on the smooth surface of the workpiece to
be cut.
− An optimal cutting result can be achieved by attaching a thin wooden board with
screw clamps on the cut line and sawing through this together with the work-
piece to be cut.
− Make sure to avoid overheating of the saw teeth. This leads to increased wear of
the blade and burn marks on the workpiece.
− When cutting plastics, avoid melting the material, as this may lead to clogging of
the saw blade as well as unclean cuts.
