In position A , the automatic load detection is
activated: The stroke speed is reduced in
idling and is controlled to the highest value
when the blade enters the workpiece.
8 Working with the machine
When working on small or thin workpieces, al-
ways use a stable base, or the CMS module
(accessory).
When working, hold the electric power tool by
the handle and guide it along the desired cut-
ting line. For precise cuts and smooth running,
use two hands to guide the electric power tool.
Free saw guidance along a scribe mark
The triangular pointer on the splinterguard
[4-1] indicates the cutting line of the saw
blade. This facilitates sawing along a scribe
mark.
8.1 Lighting
A continuous light or stroboscope is installed
for illuminating the cutting line:
up to approx. 2100 rpm: continuous light
from approx. 2100 rpm: stroboscope light
L In overhead position (+/- 45°), the lighting
is switched off completely.
If required, you can adjust the lighting:
X Plug in the electric power tool.
X Press both buttons simultaneously [1-2]
and hold for approx. 10 s until a beep
sounds.
X Release both buttons [1-2] .
X Press the left button (on the pendulum
