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).

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 (11) can be swivelled to the right or left to make mitre cuts up to 45°.

The anti-splinter guard (20) cannot be used while mitre cuts are being made.

• Remove the extraction outlet (6), the glide shoe (10) and the anti-splinter guard (20).
• Loosen the screw (25) (e.g. with a screwdriver) and slide the base plate (11) slightly towards the rechargeable battery (5).
• 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 (11) to the required position according to the scale (24). Other mitre/bevel angles can be adjusted using a protractor.
• Then push the base plate (11) towards the saw blade (12) as far as it will go.
• Retighten the screw (25).

To enable you to track the cutting line (Cut Control), the viewing window for Cut Control (13) has a mark (27) for right-angled cuts at 0° and a mark (26) for rightward- and leftward-slanting mitre cuts at 45° according to the scale (24).

When securing Cut Control with the base for Cut Control (15) to the base plate (11), use the inner marking (26).
When securing the viewing window for Cut Control (13) directly to the glide shoe (10), use the outer marking (28).

The cut mark for mitre angles between 0° and 45° is proportional. It can also be marked on the viewing window for Cut Control (13) using a non-permanent marker and easily removed again.

We recommend making a test cut for precise results.

You can move the base plate (11) back for sawing close to edges.

Loosen the screw (25) (e.g. with a screwdriver) and slide the base plate (11) as far as it will go towards the rechargeable battery (5).

Retighten the screw (25).

Sawing with an offset base plate (11) is only possible with a mitre angle of 0°. In all other cases the anti-splinter guard (20) 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.
