stored. To restart, press the green
switch button again.
Fences
The saw is equipped with two fences:
•
Mitre fence (for cross-cuts / mitre
cuts):

integrated into the mitre fence.
The angle for mitre cuts can be adjust-
ed continuously between 0° and 45° on
the angle scale
(35) . The lock lever (36)
for fixing in place must always be tight-
ened for cutting with the mitre fence.

The distance between the fence extru-
sion of the mitre fence and the saw
blade is preset in the factory and can-
not be adjusted.
•
Rip fence (for ripping):
The fence extrusion (37) must be paral-
lel to the saw blade for cutting with the
rip fence. For cutting with the rip fence
it must be fixed in place with the lock le-
ver
