Practical advice

  • Always tighten the locking knob (12) and the clamping handle (14) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
  • Always tighten the locking knob (12) and the clamping lever   firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
  • For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
  • With the Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 42, the power tool is equipped with a radio interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aircraft or hospitals, must be observed.
  • In areas in which the Bluetooth® wireless technology must not be used, the Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 42 and the coin cell must be removed.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the fence.

Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of the intended use.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must open when the tool arm is guided downwards. When the tool arm is guided upwards, the retracting blade guard must close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position of the tool arm.

Two laser beams indicate the cutting line of the saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, without having to open the retracting blade guard.

  • To do this, switch on the laser beams by briefly pressing the on/off switch (65) without pressing the lock-off button (2).
  • Position your mark on the workpiece between the two laser lines.

Note: Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated correctly see Adjusting the laser. Vibrations during intensive use, for example, can cause the laser beams to become misaligned.

  • Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.
  • Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
  • Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of the tool arm.

The insert plates (10) can become worn after prolonged use of the power tool.

Replace faulty insert plates.

  • Bring the power tool into the work position.
  • Loosen the screws (66) using the hex key (18) and remove the old insert plates.
  • Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
  • Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with the screws (66) so that the saw blade does not come into contact with the insert plate over the entire length of the possible slide motion.
  • Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the new left-hand insert plate.
