Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust extrac-
tion system, make sure it is connected and used.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check the cutting-off machine. If any part of the cut-
ting-off machine is missing, bent or unusable in anot-
her way, or if electrical faults occur, switch off the
machine and remove the plug from the socket.
Replace all missing, damaged or faulty parts, before
using the machine again.
2. Make sure that hands, eyes, face and ears are well
protected.
•Use of safety goggles without the CE quality mark can
lead to serious injury if the glass breaks.
•In order to prevent the saw blade from becoming
jammed in the saw cut and workpieces being flung
away, the instructions below must be followed:
•Choose a suitable saw blade for the work.
Only use the cutting-off machine to saw wood
and derived products, or light metals such as alu-
minium. Other materials can be flung away, get
caught in the saw blade or cause other dangers.
•The arrow on the saw blade, which indicates the
direction of rotation, must point in the same
direction as the arrow placed on the machine.
The saw blade teeth must point downwards on
the front of the saw.
•Check whether the saw blade is sharp, undama-
ged and well aligned. Press the saw head down-
wards after removing the plug.
Turn the saw blade by hand and see whether it
turns freely. Put the machine in the 45° position
and repeat the test. If the saw blade touches any-
where, it must be adjusted again.
•Keep the saw blade and the tensioning surfaces of
the clamps clean.
•The saw blade flange must always be mounted
with the tightened recess towards the saw blade.
•The flange screw must be tightened with a 13 mm
open-end wrench.
•Check whether all the tensioning devices and
interlocks are secure and that no single part
shows too great a clearance.
•Never use just your hands for sawing.
•Always secure the workpiece against the check,
so that it cannot topple or turn during sawing. No
impurities may be allowed to gather under the
workpiece.
•Make sure that the workpiece cannot move after
being sawn through, for example, because it is not
supported by the full surface.
•For sawing workpieces which are not being sup-
ported by the full surface, use fillings or another
machine.
•Check whether the sawn off pieces can be removed
laterally from the saw blade. Otherwise they can be
caught by the saw blade and flung away.
•Never saw several workpieces at the same time.

•Be especially careful when sawing large, very small or
awkwardly shaped workpieces.
•Be careful when double mitring.
•Use additional supports (tables, trestle or other)
for long workpieces, which will otherwise topple
from the machine table if they are not held.
•Do not use the machine to saw workpieces which
are so small that they can no longer be held safely.
•When sawing profile sections, work must be car-
ried out so that the workpiece cannot slide away
and the saw blade cannot become jammed. A pro-
filed workpiece must lie flat or be held by an auxi-
liary tool, as a result of which toppling or sliding
during work is prevented.
•Round workpieces such as pipes must be secu-
red, otherwise they will turn and there is a danger
that the saw blade will become jammed. Always
secure the workpiece against the check and on
the table, using a suitable auxiliary tool.
•There may be no nails or foreign objects in the work-
piece to be treated.
•In order to prevent damage to the ears, ear mufflers
must be used.
•In order to prevent accidents in case the machine is
switched on by mistake, the mains plug must be
removed from the power point before adjustments
are made to the check or saw head. The same applies
to changing the saw blad or accessories and during
maintenance of the machine.
•In order to prevent electric shocks, when connecting
the plug to the power point, the metal pins may not be
touched in any way whatsoever.
•Do not use the cable to remove the plug from the
power point. Protect the cable from oil, heat and
sharp edges.
•Never apply a detergent or lubricant to a saw
blade which is still rotating.
•In order to prevent fire, the machine may never
be used near inflammable liquids, vapours or
gases.
•Prevent injuries which can occur by not using the
original accessories. Only use the recommended
saw blades.
•Choose a saw blade in relation to the material to
be sawn.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION
Do not allow routine, which occurs when using the
machine frequently, to lead to mistakes. Remem-
ber that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious inju-
ries in a split second.
1. Ensure that the saw blade protective cap is in the cor-
rect position before you start sawing.
2. Before the first saw cut is made, allow the machine to
rotate for a while. Should unusual noises or strong
vibrations be observed, then switch off the machine
and remove the plug from the power point in order
to then determine the cause. Do not switch the
machine on before the cause has been established
and the fault has been remedied.
3. Make sure that the sawn off workpiece does not
become jammed, do not hold it, do not clamp it and
do not secure it against the check. It must be allowed
to move freely along the side of the saw blade. If these
conditions cannot be met, the sawn off workpiece
can be caught by the saw blade and flung away.
4. Avoid placing your hands in an unfavourable place,
whereby one or both hands may come into contact
with the saw blade as a result of a sudden displace-
ment.
5. Before you begin sawing, allow the saw blade to reach
its full revolutions.
6. Press the saw head downwards in such a way that the
motor is not overloaded and the saw blade is not jam-
med.
7. If you are going to remove jammed material, first
allow the saw blade to come to a standstill. Switch off
the saw and remove the plug from the power point.
8. After finishing the sawing process, hold the saw head
downwards, release the switch and wait until all the
moving parts have come to a halt, before you move
your hands away from the machine.
MOTOR
In order to prevent damage to the motor, chips and
dust must regularly be removed from it, in order to
ensure an ideal cooling.
1. Connect the machine to a 220/230V circuit.
2. If the motor does not start, the switch must be released
immediately. Remove the plug from the power point.
Check whether the saw blade can move freely. If the saw
blademovesfreely,startthemachineagain.
3. If the motor suddenly stops during sawing, the switch
must be released immediately. Release the saw blade
from the workpiece, after which sawing can be conti-
nued.
4. When using long cables with too small a diameter, a
loss of voltage occurs, which gives problems with the
motor.
•By a length of cable up to 15 meters, a diameter of
1.5 mm2must be used.
•By a length of cable from 15 to 40 meters, a diame-
ter of 2.5 mm2must be used.
IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE
WHEN
•Interruption in the mains plug, mains lead or mains
lead damage.
•Defect switch.
•Smoke or stench of scorched isolation.

INSTALLATION
Position the cutting-off machine on a smooth, stable sur-
face. The cutting-off machine may also be fastened to a
working bench. Make sure that the work area is clean and
tidy.
UNLOCKING THE MACHINE
Press the saw head downwards with your left hand and
pull the unlocking button out (A, Fig.B). The unlocking
button is situated on the back right hand side of the saw
head. As soon as the unlocking button has been pulled
out, allow the saw head to come up. Afterwards, the saw
head can be moved downwards, by pressing in the unloc-
king button (2, Fig. A).
The cutting-off machine has been calibrated in the fac-
tory to exactly 45° (right and left). After the first sawing,
check whether the saw blade is at right angles with regard
to the bottom of the machine and the table. In order to
carry out a correction, if necessary, the guiding adjusting
screws, which are situated on both sides of the adjusting
piece, must be turned. In this way, the swivel handle is set
diagonally in order to obtain a saw cut of 45°.
USE OF THE MACHINE
•The cutting-off machine is put into operation by means
of the switch button on the inside of the handle.
•Before sawing is started, the saw blade must rotate at
its full revolutions.
•Press the saw head with the handle downwards,
slowly and evenly.
•Put pressure on the saw blade, in accordance with the
nature and measurement of the workpiece.
•During sawing, the workpiece must be pressed firmly
on the table.
•In order to saw longer workpieces, use must be made
of supports in order to support the workpiece to be
sawn.
•After finishing sawing, the head must be brought into
the starting position again.
•The saw blade must be sharpened regularly and, if
necessary, changed.
Before each operation, the condition of the saw
blade must be checked.
SAWING DIAGONALLY
•For sawing diagonally at 45°, the nut on the back of
the machine must be loosened using an open-end
wrench.
•Adjust the saw head from the left to the desired set-
ting or to 45°.
•Fasten the nut screw again before you start sawing.
HORIZONTAL SAW CUT
•The head can be turned to 45° both to the left and to
the right.
•Intermediate angles are easy to set, whereby the
desired angle can be read on the degree scale.
•In order to fasten or release the machine head at a
desired angle, both guiding adjusting screws are
adjusted.
•The check at 45° is eccentric for a correct adjust-
ment.
COMBINED SAW CUT
A combination of a horizontal diagonal saw cut and a ver-
tical diagonally saw cut.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
First allow the saw blade to come to a complete
standstill and remove the plug from the power point.
•Remove the protective cover (11 Fig.A). Then clamp
the outward flange with the accompanying wrench
and turn clockwise using an open-end wrench.
•Remove the saw blade and replace it, whereby the
teeth point in the direction of the arrow.
•Before the saw blade is mounted, first clean the flan-
ges.
•Put the outward flange back in position and fasten.
•Before the machine is connected to the mains, the
saw blade safety device must be placed in the starting
position.
•If necessary, do a test cut, by lifting the saw head and
pressing it down.
