Guide ruler
Slide the guide ruler [1-3] into the holders in
the runner [1-6] and secure it with the hand
screws [1-5]. The guide ruler allows parallel cuts
along an even edge.

Exhaust
WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
workwith a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations
be-fore extracting hazardous dust.
10 Accessories
On the bottom part of the suction runner, the
machine has a longitudinal groove for mounting
on the guide rail. Thus larger dimensions can be
made more easily and more precisely.
10.1 The guide system
When cutting larger work pieces, and to
achieve accurate angled cuts, use of the
guide system is recommended for easy and safe
handling.
This allows clean cuts by accurately guiding the
machine along a marked edge. Hard anodising
of the guide bar makes moving the machine even
easier, thus reducing the necessary slide force,
and at the same time makes for a better work-
ing procedure. The saw runner's side clearance
can be adjusted using the distance screws in the
auxiliary handles [6-1].
10.2 Assembling the guide rail
The guide rail [7-1] is assembled using spe cial
clamps FSZ 300 [7-2] or FS-RAPID/L [7-5] to be
inserted into the guide grooves designed for this
particular purpose (Fig. [7a]). This allows a se-
cure hold on uneven surfaces. Anti-slip strips are
attached to the bottom of the guide bar, providing
safe placement and preventing scratches to the
material surface.
CAUTION!
If you cut with a tilted saw, the tool and the
clamp bolt with the gripper or with FS-RAPID/L
may collide.
Tilt the saw at such an angle only to avoid
collision of the chain with the clamp.
10.3 Assembling the angle guide (FS-AG-2)
The combination of the guide rail and the continu-
ously adjustable angle unit [7-3] allows accurate
angular cuts, e. g., for matching fi ts. Mount the
angle unit as shown in Fig. [7b]. You can set the
required cutting angle on the bevel indicator.
10.4 Assembling the connector (FSV)
Depending on the use and size of the work piece,
multiple guide rails can be jointed together us-
ing a connecting spring [7-4] (Fig. [7c]). For fi rm
connection of multiple guide rails the links can be
affi xed using the screws in the correspondingly
threaded openings.
10.5 Assembling the quick clamp (FS-
RAPID/L)
The guide rail can be mounted quickly using this
device [7-5] slipped into the bottom groove. A fi rm
mount is achieved by pressing the trigger, and re-
lease is achieved by pressing the stopping button.
CAUTION!
If you cut with the saw at an incline, the tool and
the quick clamp handle may collide.
The handle of the quick clamp must be turned
to the left towards the material after tighten-
ing, thus preventing the collision even at the
maximum tilt of 60°.
11 Service and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which re-
quires the motor housing to be opened, must
only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
