Operating modes
- Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Pendulum action settings
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.
Adjusting the mitre/bevel angle (see figure E)
The base plate (7) can be swivelled to the right or left to make mitre cuts up to 45°.
The anti-splinter guard (16) cannot be used while mitre cuts are being made.
- Remove the anti-splinter guard (16).
- Loosen the screw (17) and push the base plate (7) slightly towards the saw blade (10).
- The base plate has lock-in points at 0° and 45° on the left and right so that precise mitre/bevel angles can be set. Swivel the base plate (7) to the desired position according to the scale (18). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted using a protractor.
- Then slide the base plate (7) all the way towards the mains cable.
- Retighten the screw (17).
