duces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite for
precise work.
– Always push the machine forwards [9-2], never
draw the machine towards yourself.
– Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the cutters
on the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that all rotary knobs [4-1] are tight-
ened before starting work.
– Do not use the machine when the electronics are
faulty because the machine may operate at ex-
cessive speeds. An absence of the smooth start-
up function or speed control indicates that the
electronics are faulty.
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.
8.1 Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator [7-2] displays the cutting line
for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
8.2 Cutting sections
Place the machine with the front part of the saw ta-
ble on the workpiece, switch the machine on, press
it down to the preset cutting depth and push it for-
ward in the cutting direction.
8.3

Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)

In order to avoid kickbacks, the following in-
structions must be observed without fail
when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the ma-
chine against the kickback stop FS-RSP (acces-
sory) [9-4] clamped to the guide rail.
Procedure

Position the machine on the workpiece and
push up against a stop (kickback stop).

Switch on the machine.

Push down the machine slowly to the preset
cutting depth and then push forwards in the cut-
ting direction.
The markings [7-1] indicate the absolute front and
the absolute rear cutting points of the saw blade
(dia. 160 mm) when using the saw at maximum cut-
ting depth with the guide rail.
8.4 Plaster and cement-bonded fibre boards
Due to the high build-up of dust, use of a cover
ABSA-TS55 (accessory) mounted to the side of the
protective cover is recommended.

The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn out, the power is inter-
rupted automatically and the machine comes to a
standstill.
Observe the following instructions:

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling openings in the housing unobstruct-
ed and air accessible.

Use an extractor on all the openings of the ma-
chine to remove wood chips and splinters.
9.1

Resharpened saw blades

The cutting depth of resharpened saw blades can
be adjusted accurately using the adjusting screw
[8-1].

Adjust the cutting depth stop [8-2] to 0 mm
(with guide rail).

Unlock the saw unit and push downwards until
it reaches the stop.

Turn in the adjusting screw [8-1] until the saw
blade touches the workpiece.
9.2 Saw table wobbles
 The saw table must be on an even surface when
adjusting the cutting angle.
If the saw table wobbles, the setting must be per-
formed again (Chapter 7.3).
