Take care during the mounting that the cutting direc-
tion of the teeth (direction of the arrow on the saw
blade) agrees with the direction of the arrow on the
casing!
– Place on the clamping flange
14
and the screw
12
.
Press the spindle lock
13
until it engages and tighten the
screw turning in anticlockwise direction.
– Push the lever
11
downward and, at the same time, rotate
the retracting blade guard
20
downward again until the le-
ver engages.
– Screw in and tighten the locking screw
10
again.
Transport (see figure g)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must
be carried out:
– Bring the power tool into the table saw working position.
(see “Working Position”, page 48)
– Position the parallel guide
61
completely over the protec-
tion guard
63
.
To lock the parallel guide, push the clamping knob
64
downward.
– Attach the hold-down stick onto the pins
67
.
– Insert the lower saw blade cover
66
into the saw table
22
.
– Remove all accessories that cannot be mounted firmly to
the power tool.
If possible, place unused saw blades in an enclosed con-
tainer for transport.
– For lifting or transporting, hold the power tool by the re-
cessed grips
4
on the side of the saw table
22
.
The power tool should always be carried by two per-
sons in order to avoid back injuries.
When transporting the power tool, use only the trans-
port devices and never use the protective devices.
Operation as Chop and Mitre
Saw
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Working Position (see figure
A)
If the power tool is still in the condition as delivered or if the
power tool was used as a table saw, then the following steps
must be carried out before using as a chop and mitre saw:
– Loosen both clamping levers
68
below the saw table
59
.
– Pull the saw table upward to the stop.
– Hold the saw table in this position and tighten the clamping
levers again.
– Position the parallel guide
61
over the saw blade as a pro-
tective measure.
– Push the tool arm by the handle
18
down a little in order to
relieve the transport safety-lock
38
.
– Pull the transport safety-lock
38
completely outward.
– Remove the lower saw blade cover
66
and slide it into the
groove on the right-hand side of the parallel guide
61
.
Do not throw away the lower saw blade cover!
If the low-
er saw blade cover is not used, it is not possible to operate
the combination saw as a table saw!
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
–
Loosen
locking screw
44
.
– Slide the adjustable fence
31
completely inward.
– Retighten the locking screw
44
.
Preparing for Operation
Extending the Saw Table (see figure
B)
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
– Loosen both hex socket screws
41
with the hex key
5
pro-
vided.
– Pull out the saw table extension
29
to the stop and tighten
the hex socket screws again.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure
C)
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
30
.
– Insert the material clamp
21
provided into one of the holes
28
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
42
in clockwise direction.
Moving the Fence (see figure
D)
You have to move the adjustable fence
31
to saw bevel angles.
–
Loosen
locking screw
44
.
– Pull the adjustable fence
31
completely outward.
– Retighten the locking screw
44
.
After sawing the bevel angles, slide the adjustable fence
31
back again (loosen the locking screw
44
; slide the fence
31
completely inward; retighten the locking screw).
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
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 49).
Always tighten the locking knob 25 firmly before saw-
ing.
Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the
workpiece.
– Bring the power tool into the chop and mitre saw working
position. (see “Working Position”, page 43)

gles, detents
