(fig. C).
• Slide half of the connecting rod (27) into the fixing groove (28) in one
of the guide rails.
• Slide the other guide rail onto protruding part of the connecting rod.
• Slide the guide rails together (fig. D).
• Turn the guide rails over and align the connecting rod (27) when
necessary, next tighten the pressing screws (29) (fig. E).
Fixing clamp can be used to attach guide rails to processed material
(30) (fig. F).
• Slide the fixing clamp (30) into the fixing groove (28).
• Set the guide rail position on the processed material and position of
the fixing clamp.
• Tighten the fixing clamp (30) to avoid moving of the guide rail.
• For stable position of the guide rail track, fix it with two fixing clamps
(30) on two opposite sides of the track and processed material.
To guide the plunge cut track saw along the guide rail track (23), slide
the saw base edge (16) into the guiding groove (31) (fig. A) in the guide
rail track.
• Slide the base of the plunge cut track saw into the guide rail track.
• To allow for precise cuts, rotate eccentrically positioned adjustment
knobs to negate potential slack between base (16) of the plunge cut
track saw and the guide rail track (16) (fig. A).
Guide rails, connector rods and fixing clamps are not included with
the device. They are available for purchase separately.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of
the plunge cut track saw. Hold the device with both hands by both
handles when starting it up, because engine torque may cause
uncontrolled turn of the power tool. Remember that rotating parts
of the plunge cut track saw can rotate for some time after the tool
has been switched off.
Switch on the plunge cut track saw only when cutting blade is away
from the material that is to be cut.
Check condition of cutting blade before use of the power tool. Do not
use blades with dents, cracks or other damages. Immediately replace
blade that is worn out or damaged.
The lock button (10) serves two purposes:
• Protects the switch (11) from accidental start up.
• Prevents the cutting blade from accidental lowering.
Switching on:
• Move the lock button (10) up.
• Press the switch button (11) (fig. G).
Switching off:
• Release pressure on the switch button (11) to stop the power tool.
VOLTAGE INDICATOR
Power indicator (13) is located in the rear part of the main handle body
(2). It turns on to show that the power tool is connected to mains power
supply (fig. H).
ROTATIONAL SPEED CONTROL
Wheel for rotational speed control (15) is located at the bottom part of
the main handle (2) (fig. H). Control range is 1 to 7. Rotational speed can
be adjusted to the user's needs.
Wait a while after starting the power tool until the cutting blade
reaches its top speed, only then you can proceed with your work.
When working, do not use the switch of the power tool to switch it on
or off. You can operate the switch only when the cutting blade has no
contact with processed material.
CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Cutting depth gauge (21) indicates cutting depth on the cutting depth
scale (20).
To set up the depth, first loosen the cutting depth gauge knob (19)
shown on the picture, then press it in the direction as shown on fig. I
and move the gauge (smoothly, with no resistance from toothed bar) to
correct position on the cutting depth scale (20). When working without
guide rail track, read the cutting depth from marker A. When the guide
rail track is installed, read the cutting depth from marker B of the cutting
depth gauge (21). Difference in indication is 5 mm.
The toothed bar allows for quick change of the depth setting. After
adjustment, tighten the cutting depth gauge knob (19).
CUTTING
Cutting line is defined by cutting line indicators (4) and (5).
To obtain the best possible cut quality, allow the cutting blade to plunge
approx. 5 mm below bottom surface of the material. When setting
cutting depth for material of known thickness, add 5 mm correction.
In addition to setting value on the scale, it is always recommended to
make a test cut or to check how the blade would plunge at the material
without switching on the power tool.
Before making a cut, put the front part of the plunge cut track saw
base (16) flat against the material.
• Switch on the power tool and allow the cutting blade to build up
speed to maximum value.
• Hold by both handles and slowly press in (overcome the spring
resistance). The cutting blade should lower towards material until it
stops on the limiter, as set up on the cutting depth scale (20).
• Once the cutting blade has plunged into material, you can start
cutting. Hold the cutting blade completely pressed down all the time.
• After cutting switch off the power tool and allow the cutting blade to
stop completely. Then release pressure on the handle, so the cutting
blade can return to its upper position.
• Take the power tool off the processed piece.
When you reduce pressure on the handle when making a cut, the
cutting blade will travel upwards to its upper position as directed by
the return spring. This will reduce cutting precision.
• Make cuts in straight line only.
• Do not cut material while holding it in hand.
Use only working tools with allowable rotary speed higher or equal to
power tool rotary speed with no load, and diameter not greater than
recommended for the power tool type.
If the object is small, fix the processed material with F-clamps. If the
base of the plunge cut track saw does not move while firmly resting
on the processed material, but is lifted instead, there is danger of kick
back.
Properly fixed processed material and firm hold of the plunge cut
track saw ensure full control over power tool operation. This allows
to avoid risk of body injury. Do not try to hold short pieces of material
with your hand.
MAKING A CUT BY PLUNGING INTO MATERIAL
Disconnect the saw from power supply before starting any
adjustments.
When necessary, you can also start a cut in the middle of a piece. When
making a plunge cut it is recommended to use the guide rail track that is
fixed to the work piece in order to reduce risk of kick back to minimum.
• Loosen the cutting depth gauge knob (19).
• Set cutting depth on the scale (20).
• Tighten the cutting depth gauge knob (19).
BEVEL CUTTING
• Loosen the knobs for base position adjustment (14) (fig. J).
• Set the base (16) to desired angle (from 0° to 47°) using the angular
scale (18) and the angle indicator (17) (fig. K).
• Tighten the knobs for base position adjustment (14).
Be aware that the risk of kick back is greater for bevel cutting
(pinching of cutting blade more probable), therefore it is particularly
important that the saw base rests on the processed material with its
whole surface. Perform cutting with smooth move.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the power cord from mains socket before commencing any
activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
REPLACEMENT OF WORKING TOOLS
Wear work gloves during working tool replacement.
Spindle lock button (12) is used only to lock the power tool spindle
for installation or removal of working tool. It cannot be used as a
brake button when the blade is rotating. Otherwise the power tool
may be damaged or the user may be injured.
CUTTING BLADE REPLACEMENT
• Position the device base on the workbench top so the cutting blade
sticks beyond its edge.
• Set the lock lever (9) forward and lift the lock button (10) (fig. L).
• Use handles (2 and 3) to apply pressure and to engage the lock
immobilizing the cutting blade.
• Insert hex key (included) into the head of the cutting blade fixing bolt
(32), that you can see in the guard cut out (6) (fig. M).
