If the base plate 7 can not be adjusted or only
with difficulty after releasing the SDS lever for
base-plate adjustment 22, rotate the thumbwheel
for pre-tension of the base plate 21 in the "–" di-
rection.
To lock the base plate 7, shut the SDS lever for
base-plate adjustment 22. Possibly the thumb-
wheel for pre-tension of the base plate 21 must
be turned toward the "+" direction.
– With the base plate offset, only the 0° (normal)
position can be used.
– The circle cutter/parallel guide 24 as well as
the splinter guard 23 cannot be used in this
case.
Sliding Shoe for Base Plate
(see figure
)
E
The aluminium base plate 7 is equipped with a
steel insert for maximum stability. It is intended
for sawing of metal surfaces or insensitive mate-
rials without using the sliding shoe 8.
When sawing materials that are easily scratched,
the sliding shoe 8 avoids scratching up sensitive
surfaces.
For mounting, insert the sliding shoe at the front
of the foot plate, lift at the rear and latch in.
Splinter Guard (see figure
To avoid fraying of the surface, press the splinter
guard with the notch facing upward 23 (as shown
in the figure) from below into the base plate 7.
When working with the sliding shoe 8, insert the
splinter guard 23 into the sliding shoe.
The splinter guard 23 can be inserted into the
base plate in 2 positions. For narrow saw blades,
insert the splinter guard fully to the front; for wider
saw blades, insert it further to the rear in the base
plate.
The splinter guard cannot be used for certain saw
blade types (e. g., saw blades with set teeth).
Dust/Chip Extraction
Vacuum Connection
The vacuum connection 6 is used to connect a
vacuum hose.
When inserting the vacuum connection 6 in the
base plate 7, make sure that the plastic tip of the
vacuum connection engages in the correspond-
ing hole of the motor casing (see figure
To enable optimum dust extraction, use the splin-
ter guard 23.
The machine can be connected directly to the
socket of a Berner all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with a remote starting device. The vacuum
cleaner is started automatically when the ma-
chine is switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
For external dust extraction with a vacuum
cleaner, an extraction adapter must be used as
required (see accessories). Insert extraction
adapter and vacuum connection firmly.
Cover Guard
The transparent cover guard 17 enables the col-

lection of chips and sawdust. To achieve opti-
mum results, it must always be mounted when
working with dust extraction. When working with-
out dust extraction, do not use the dust cover 17.
Otherwise sawdust/wood chips can block the
view.
Tips
When sawing small or thin workpieces, al-
ways use a firm support or a saw table (ac-
cessory).
For tight curves it is best to use a narrow saw
blade.
When sawing metal or similar materials, apply
coolant/lubricant alongside the cutting line.
Straight Cuts in Thick Wood
– With the pushbutton for Precision Control 11,
switch on the lateral guidance feature of the
saw blade.
– Adjust the exact cutting angle with use of a
commercial angle gauge 20.
