31EN3. Place the plunge saw on the guide rail. Thebase plate has a groove (16), which exactlyfits into the guide ridge of the rail.4. Guide the plunge saw from the edge of theguide rail and turn the guide rail lock (7)towards I to connect the plunge saw to the rail.Connecting the base plate to the guide railis important when doing miter cuts. Thisprevents the plunge saw from tilting over.5. Disconnect the plunge saw by turning thelocking mechanism back towards 0 andtaking the saw off the guide rail.FINE ADJUSTMENT OF PLUNGE SAWPLAY ON GUIDE RAILThe play of the base plate on the guide railcan be reduced to minimum with the fineadjustment screws (8).1. Loosen the fine adjustment screws counter-clockwise.2. Turn both fine adjustment screws (8)clockwise to minimize the play betweenbase plate and guide rail, if necessary.3. Fasten the fine adjustment screwsclockwise.CONNECTING RODS FOR GUIDE RAILS(OPTIONAL)1. To connect both guide rails slide the firstconnecting rod from the bottom into thegroove of the guide rail.2. Slide the other connecting rod into thesecond groove.3. Use the 3 mm Allen key to tighten the studscrews to the limit stop to connect the rails.DETERMINE CUTTING LINEWhen using the saw with guide rail alwaysalign position A (0 mark on base plate) at thefront of the base plate with your markedcutting line for straight cuts and 45° miter cuts.GUIDE RAIL SPLINTER GUARDSThe guide rails come with a splinter guard(black protruding rubber lip). The splinterguard should be cut to size before first use.The splinter guard ensures a tear-free cut,since the wood fibers at the top of the workpiece are torn without splinter guard. This isdue to the saw blade teeth being directedupward.After cutting the splinter guard to size it alsoshows the precise cutting path of the sawblade.Splinterguide7061274 Ma # 1406-17.indd 31 17-06-14 13:29
