c) 

When sawing long boards, support the end of the board level with the saw bench using the side 

supports (35), a roller frame or a worktop.   

d) 

If possible use the clamping device (10) to clamp the workpiece securely.  The clamping device 

(10) can be removed after the lock (11) has been undone and then fitted on the other side of the 

bench. When using the clamping device, ensure that its lock is secure. 

Before you switch on the saw carry out a dry run of the sawing process to ensure that no problems 

occur.   

[B23] 

e) 

Hold the control lever (7) securely and press the release switch (23). Wait until the saw blade has 

reached maximum speed.   

Press the release switch (34) and slowly lower the saw blade into the workpiece and through the 

workpiece.  Let go of the release switch (23), wait until the saw blade has reached a standstill, and 

only raise the saw blade again at this point.    Do not remove the workpiece until the saw blade has 

reached a standstill. 

 

3.  CROSS CUTS (WITH SLIDE FUNCTION)    [B24] 

For sawing wide work pieces the slide lock (28) must first be released.   

Pull out the locking knob (6), raise the sawing arm (5) to its highest point and slide it towards you.  

Press the release switch (34) and slowly lower the saw blade onto the workpiece.    Move the sawing 

head away from you as far as possible as you do so. 

Let go of the release switch (23), wait until the saw blade has reached a standstill and only then raise 

the saw blade from the workpiece. Do not remove the workpiece until the saw has reached a complete 

standstill. 

 

4.  VERTICAL ANGLE CUTS    [B25] 

A vertical angle cut is carried out across the grain of the workpiece with the saw blade at a certain angle 

to the guide rail and the mitre bench.    The mitre bench must be set to 0º and the saw blade must be set 

to an angle between 0º and 45º.  Use the slide function for sawing wide work pieces. 

Repeat steps 28 and 29 in 

Point 3 - Cross Cuts (With Slide Function).

 

Release the vertical angle lock (16) and move the sawing arm (5) to the left to the required vertical angle 

between 0º and 45º.    Tighten the vertical angle lock(16). 

Repeat steps 30 and 31 from 

Point 10 -

 

Adjusting The Cutting Depth

 

5. 

COMBINED MITRE CUTS 

The mitre angle and the vertical angle must both be set for combined mitre cuts. 

This process is used, for example, to make picture frames, for cutting strips and for making crates using 

angled side walls and also for roof trusses.    Always test the cut first using a piece of waste wood before 

you cut the actual material.    Use the drag function for sawing wide work pieces.
