Rotating table
For mitre cuts the rotating table (38) ,

can be turned by 50° to the left and 60°
to the right.
The rotating table engages at positive
stops at the 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, and
60° position.
A
Caution!
In order to prevent the mitre
angle from changing during cutting,
the rotating table's locking screw
must be tightened (also when
engaged at the positive stops!).
Push/pull action
The track arm permits the cutting of
workpieces having a larger cross sec-
tion. The track can be used for all type of
cuts (standard cross cuts, mitre cuts,
bevel cuts, compound mitre cuts).
When it is not required, arrest the track
arm with the locking screw
(40) .

depth limiter

ble.

The hinged fence (42) permits the saw-
head to tilt up to 48° to the right for bevel
cuts.
A
Caution!
To provide firm support for the
workpiece (as much supporting area

used as under:
•
Sawhead tilted between 22.5° and
48° to the right: loosen screw
(43)
