Operating modes

The pendulum action can be adjusted using four different settings, allowing the cutting speed, cutting capacity and the cut itself to be optimally adapted to the material that you want to cut.

You can also adjust the pendulum action during operation using the adjusting lever (8).

Level 0

No pendulum action

Level I

Low pendulum action

Level II

Moderate pendulum action

Level III

High pendulum action

The optimum pendulum level for each application can be determined by a practical test. Note the following recommendations:

  • Select a lower pendulum level or switch off the pendulum action completely if you wish to produce a finer or cleaner cutting edge.
  • Switch off the pendulum action when machining thin materials (e.g. sheets).
  • Work on hard materials (e.g. steel) with low pendulum action.
  • You can work on soft materials and saw wood using maximum pendulum action.

The base plate (6) can be swivelled to the right or left to make mitre cuts up to 45°.

The hood (18), the extraction outlet (19) and the anti-splinter guard (17) cannot be used while mitre/bevel cuts are being made.

  • Push the extraction outlet (19) gently upwards and pull it out of the base plate (6).
  • Remove the hood (18) and the anti-splinter guard (17).
  • Open the base plate clamping lever (22) and push the base plate (6) slightly towards the power cable.
  • The base plate has lock-in points on the left and right so that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set. Swivel the base plate (6) to the required position according to the scale (21). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted using a protractor.
  • Then push the base plate (6) towards the saw blade (11) as far as it will go.
  • Close the clamping lever (22) to lock the base plate in the set position.

You can move the base plate (6) back for sawing close to edges.

Open the base plate clamping lever (22) and push the base plate (6) towards the power cable as far as it will go. Close the clamping lever to lock the base plate.

Sawing with an offset base plate (6) is only possible with a mitre angle of 0°. In all other cases the anti-splinter guard (17) may not be used.

The cutting line can be kept clear of chips using the airflow from the sawdust blower device.

Switch on the sawdust blower device for work in wood, plastic, etc. with a high level of material removal. Do this by sliding the switch (7) to the "I" position.

Switch off the sawdust blower device when working in metal or with a dust extraction system connected. Do this by sliding the switch (7) to the "0" position.
