– Loosen the locking knob
25
in case it is tightened.
– Pull lever
26
and rotate the saw table
22
left or right to the
requested detent.
– Release the lever again. The lever must be felt to engage in
the detent.
Adjusting Any Mitre Angle
(see figure
F)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 48° (left side) to
48° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob
25
in case it is tightened.
– Pull lever
26
and at the same time push the locking bracket
45
until it engages in the groove intended for this. The saw
table can be moved freely now.
– Turn the saw table
22
left or right by the locking knob and
adjust the requested mitre angle with help of the fine scale
46
. (also see “Adjusting with Help of the Fine Scale”,
page 44)
– Tighten the locking knob
25
again.
Adjusting with Help of the Fine Scale
With the fine scale
46
, the horizontal mitre angle can be set
with an accuracy of up to ¼°.
Example:
In order to adjust a 40.5° mitre angle, the ½° mark
of the fine scale
46
must be brought into alignment with the
42° mark of scale
23
.
Adjusting Standard Bevel Angles
(see figure
G1)
For quick and precise adjustment of commonly used bevel an-
gles, stops are provided for 0°, 45° and 33.9° angles.
– Pull the adjustable fence
31
completely outward.
– Loosen the lock lever
37
.
–
Standard angles 0° and 45°:
Tilt the tool arm by the handle
18
to the right stop (0°) or
to the left stop (45°).
–
Standard angle 33.9°:
Push the stop bolt
33
completely inside. Then swivel the
tool arm by the handle
18
until the bolt faces against the
stop screw
32
.
– Retighten the lock lever
37
again.
Adjusting Any Bevel Angle
(see figure
G2)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from –2° to +47°.
– Pull the adjustable fence
31
completely outward.
– Loosen the lock lever
37
.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle
18
until the angle indicator
47
indicates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retighten the clamp-
ing lever
37
.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On (see figure
H)
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
– For
starting operation
, press the green ON pushbutton
2
(
I
).
The tool arm can be guided down only after pushing button
17
.
– For
sawing
button
17
must therefore be pushed addition-
ally.
Switching Off
– Press the red OFF pushbutton
1
(
O
).
Power Failure
The ON/OFF switch is a so-called non-voltage switch, which
prevents the power tool from restarting after a power failure
(e. g., when the mains plug is pulled during operation).
– To restart the power tool, press the green ON pushbutton
2
again.
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.
Illuminating the Work Area (see figure
I)
Provide for sufficient lighting of the direct working area.
– For this, switch on the lighting unit
34
with the switch
35
.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure
J)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch
36
.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.
– Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated cor-
rectly (see “Adjusting the Laser”, page 46). The laser
beam, as an example, can misadjust due to vibrations after
intensive use.
Position of the Operator (see figure
K)
Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade.
This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
