9 PREPARATION
▪
Before each use check the proper function of all installation fixtures of the plunge saw and
only use the plunge saw if everything works properly.
▪
Attach the work piece in such way that it cannot move or bend during work. Line the work
piece respectively.
▪
Always hold the plunge saw with both hands at the hand grips (3) and (4).
▪
Always guide the plunge saw forward. Never draw the plunge saw back!
▪
Place the plunge saw with the front part of the base plate (5) on the work piece. Guide the
plunge saw only against the work piece during operation.
▪
With the correct forward speed you prevent overheating of the saw blade, and melting
when cutting plastics.
9.1
Mounting the plunge saw on the guide rail
▪
Turn the anchoring knob (20) into the position “I”.
▪
Place the plunge saw with the lower groove on the guide rail (13)
▪
Turn the anti-
kickback knob (6) into the position “0” until the plunge saw slides completely
onto the guide rail and then release the anti-kickback knob.
▪
The plunge saw is now anchored to the guide rail.
▪
Follow the above steps in reverse order to release the plunge saw from the guide rail.
10 OPERATION
10.1
Switching ON/OFF
▪
Press the switch lock (2) and then the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch the plunge saw on.
▪
Release the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch the plunge saw off.
Notes:
Pressing the switch lock (2) unlocks the plunge cut mechanism at the same time, so
that the blade can be moved downwards. The saw blade emerges from the protective cover.
When lifting the saw the motor slides back into the initial position.
10.2
Setting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set between 0 - 54 mm:
▪
Loosen the cutting depth limit stop knob (9) and slide it to the desired cutting depth
according to the graduated scale (11) to set the cutting depth.
Note:
The graduated values on the scale (11) apply for straight cuts (90° cut).
The guide rail depth adjustment stopper (10) must be tilted up when using the plunge saw
without guide rail. Only when using the plunge saw with guide rail, the guide rail depth
adjustment stopper is used to compensate for the thickness of the guide rail.
(Fig 2)
Using the guide rail = guide rail depth adjustment stopper down.
Not using the guide rail = guide rail depth adjustment stopper up.
▪
(Fig. 3)
Tighten the cutting depth limit stop knob (9). The motor or respectively the saw
blade can now be pushed down to the set cutting depth.
For a clean, safe cut set the cutting depth in such way that only max. one saw blade tooth
protrudes under the work piece.
10.3
Setting the cutting angle (Fig. 4)
The plunge saw can be swiveled between 0° and 48°:
▪
Loosen both rotary knobs (8). Swivel the motor to the desired cutting angle on the cutting
angle scale.
▪
Tighten the rotary knobs (8) again
Always hold the plunge saw with both hands.
Always guide the plunge saw forward. Never draw the plung saw back!
