Note:
When working, pay attention that the transport safety-
lock is not pushed inwards. Otherwise, the tool arm cannot be
lowered to the requested depth.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Set the height of the adjusting screw
30
so that the tool
arm can be swivelled fully downward by the handle
3
(see
also “Adjusting the Depth Stop”, page 26).
– Press lever
2
and at the same time, push the tool arm by
handle
3
downward until the transport safety-lock
27
can
be pushed completely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for transport.
Extending the Fence (see figure G)
You have to move the adjustable fence
17
to saw bevel an-
gles.
– Loosen the wing bolt
21
.
– Pull the adjustable fence
17
completely outward.
– Tighten the wing bolt
21
again.
After sawing the bevel angles, slide the adjustable fence
17
back again (loosen the wing bolt
21
; slide the fence
17
com-
pletely inward; retighten the wing bolt).
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure H)
To ensure optimum working safety, the workpiece must al-
ways be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp.
– Press the workpiece firmly against the fence
6
.
– Insert the material clamp
18
provided into one of the holes
8
intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt
43
and adapt the material clamp to
the workpiece. Tighten the wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod
44
in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the material clamp, turn the threaded rod
44
in
anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use (see “Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment”,
page 27).
Always tighten the locking knob 10 firmly before saw-
ing.
Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the
workpiece.
Adjusting Mitre Angles (see figure I)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 47° (left side) to
52° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob
10
in case it is tightened.
– Press lever
11
and turn saw table
7
via the locking knob left
or right to adjust the desired mitre angle with help of the
angle indicator
12
.
– Tighten the locking knob
10
again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles,
detents
45
are provided on the saw table:
– Loosen the locking knob
10
in case it is tightened.
– Press lever
11
and turn the saw table
7
left or right to the
requested detent.
– Release the lever again. The lever must be felt to engage in
the detent.
– Tighten the locking knob
10
again.
Adjusting Bevel Angles (see figure J)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the lock lever
26
.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle
3
until the angle indicator
31
indicates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retighten the clamp-
ing lever
26
.
For quick and precise setting of the standard angles 0°
and 45°
, factory-set stop screws (
33
and
23
) have been pro-
vided for.
– Loosen the lock lever
26
.
– For this, tilt the tool arm by the handle
3
to the stop toward
the right (0°) or to the stop toward the left (45°).
– Retighten the lock lever
26
again.
Starting Operation
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Switching On (see figure K)
– To
start
the machine, press the On/Off switch
4
and keep
it pressed.
Note:
For safety reasons, the On/Off switch
4
cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downward when pressing le-
ver
2
.
– For
sawing
, you must additionally press lever
2
in addition
to actuating the On/Off switch
4
.
Switching Off
– To
switch off
the machine, release the On/Off switch
4

Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
