otherwise I can associate myself with previous speakers wholeheartedly. necessarily indicate the article number eighth (6.02540.00) this is the new model and Amazon always a bit more expensive than the old one.
I noticed are mainly the following new features:
- The laser is located now the front of the saw blade (protected by the blade guard)
- The LED work light now left of the saw blade ... it illuminates the work area well and glare from.
- The workpiece fixation (removable) now has a quick release
- Adjusting the horizontal angle adjustment is now made more compact
- Behind the saw blade is now a funnel for guiding the sawing residues. much better during suction (Festo-sleeve fits ...).
Benefits:
- Cuts very precisely to the laser marking. by the position of these is now projected on the front edge of the workpiece.
- Topverarbeitung
- "Over-sections" of 2 ° possible
- Large cutting capacity
- Many settings
- The conditions on the left and right can be removed. Class in long workpieces.
- All adjustments easily accessible from the front
- Saw blade to switch lockable
- Transport safety and handles
- Cord storage
- XXL warranty (3-years) of registering on the metabotropic page
Disadvantages:
- Dust bag only partially useful (but that he is never actually ...)
- Vertical angle in only one direction possible (probably the stability, the adjustment and precision owed)
- Quite rougher start and quite loud (if you like it softer, should treat the 254 "plus" ...)
- No engine brake, sheet running long after (but always protected ...)
- Stromkable could be a bit softer and longer.
Tips on the edge:
- The 40s leaf is already quite good, but I would equal a 80 separately (much finer cut across the grain)
- Slowly sawing. is more precise and the chips are better drawn.
- Not too much to put pressure. especially in vertical miter. disadvantage of pull saws is that they then get over more easily.
