- If this effect occurs when sawing a strip, put
an additional 25 to 30 mm thick softwood strip
(e.g. roofing board) between the stop and
the strip, and saw through both strips
together. This prevents or significantly reduces
the throw-back effect.
Before sawing, make sure that the cam
levers (7.2) and rotary knobs (7.1) on
both fences are closed.

- Place the workpiece (7.9) flush to a fence
(7.8) and hold it in that position with one
hand.
Long pieces that overhang the surface of the
base should be supported so that the working
end does not tip up.
Note: When sawing inner angles, it may be
necessary to move the redundant sliding fence
(7.3) outwards.
- Push the lever (7.5): this unlocks the saw
unit, opens the pivot guard (7.6) up to halfway
and overrides the activation lock for switch
(7.4);
- Switch on the machine by activating the switch
(7.4) and saw the workpiece by lowering the
saw unit downwards up to the fence.
When the saw unit is lowered, the rollers (7.7)
on the pivot guard slide over the workpiece
which opens the pivot guard.
Never open the pivot guard with your
hands.
- Raise the saw unit and switch the machine
off by releasing the switch (7.4).
