ENG ENGLISH - Push the lever (13) down and clamp the workpiece tight by turning the crank (14) clockwise. 7.3 Cutting through a workpiece Danger of crushing! Do not reach into the area of the joint when lowering the lever! • Do not begin cutting until the machine has reached its maximum rpm. • Slowly lower the cutting disc onto the workpiece and conduct the cut with little contact pressure. • After finishing the job, put the lever into the starting position. • After a complete cut, switch off the machine, allow the motor to come to a complete standstill and only then prepare the next cutting job. The removal or insertion of workpieces while the cutting disc is rotating can lead to injury. • Do not work with too much contact pressure, since the cutting disc can otherwise quickly become worn out, or the machine or workpiece can be damaged. 7.4 Switching on and off Switching on: Press and hold blocking device (10), actuate switch (9). Switching off: Release the trigger (9). 7.5 Transport For transport, turn the lever (5) all the way down and stop by actuating the transportation lock (4). Note: To lock the lever, it is necessary to turn the cutting depth limiter (3) to a lower position.
