Moving parts must run smoothly.
►
Before you connect the equipment to the
power supply make sure the data on the
rating plate are dentical to the mains data.
Checking the moving saw blade
guard safety device (5)
The saw blade guard protects against acci-
dental contact with the saw blade and from
chips flying around.
Check function
To do so, fold the saw downwards:
►
The saw blade guard must provide free
access to the saw blade without touching
other parts.
►
When folding the saw upwards into the
starting position, the saw blade guard must
cover the saw blade automatically.
Attachment and operation
Attaching the mitre saw(fig.1/2/4/5)
► In order to adjust the rotary table (13),
loosen the set screw (10) approximately 2
turns .
► Turn the rotary table (13) and pointer (11)
to the desired angle measurement on the
scale (12) and use the set screw (10) to
secure it.
►
Pressing the machine head (4) lightly
downwards and removing the locking bolt
(21) from the motor bracket at the same
time disengages the saw from the lowest
position.
►
Swing the machine head (4) up.
►
It is possible to secure the clamping devic-
es (7) to the left or right on the ffxed saw
table (14). Insert the clamping devices (7)
in the holes on the rear side of the stop rail
(15) and secure it with the star grip screws
(7a).
►
For 0°- 45° mitre cuts, the clamping device
(7) must only be mounted on the right side
(see ffg. 11-12).
►
It is possible to tilt the machine head (4)
a max. 45° to the left by loosening the set
screw (20).
Precision adjustment of the stop for cross-
cut 90° (fig.1/2/5/6)
►
No stop angle included.
►
Lower the machine head (4) and secure it
using the locking bolt (21).
►
Loosen the set screw (20).
►
Position the angle stop (A) between the
saw blade (6) and the rotary table (13).
►
Loosen the lock nut (24a).
►
Adjust the adjusting screw (24) until the
angle between the saw blade (6) and rota-
ry table (13) is 90°.
►
Re-tighten the lock nut (24a).
►
Subsequently check the position of the
angle indicator.If necessary loosen the
pointer (19) using a Philips screwdriver,
set to position 0° on the angle scale (18)
and re-tighten the retaining screw.
Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° (fig.1/2/7)
Attention! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable
stop rail (16a) must be fixed in the inner posi
-
tion.
►
Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable
stop rail (16a) and push the moveable stop
rail (16a) inwards.
►
The moveable stop rail (16a) must be
locked in a position far enough from the in-
ner position that the distance between the
stop rail (16a) and the saw blade (6) is no
more than 8 mm.
►
Before making the cut, check that the stop
rail (16a) and the saw blade (6) cannot
collide.
►
Re-tighten the set screw (16b).
►
Move the machine head (4) to its upper
position.
►
Use the handle (1) to push back the ma-
chine head (4) and ffx it in this position if
required (dependent on the cutting width).
►
Place the piece of wood to be cut at the
stop rail (15) and on the turntable (13).
►
Lock the material with the clamping devic-
es (7) on the ffxed saw table (14) to pre
-
vent the material from moving during the
cutting operation.
► Release the lock switch (3) and press the
ON/OFF switch (2) to start the motor.
►
When the cutting operation is completed,
move the machine head back to its upper
(home) position and release the ON/OFF
button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward
stroke automatically due to the return spring,
i.e. do not release the handle (1) after com-
pleting the cut; instead allow the machine
head to move upwards slowly whilst applying
light counter pressure.
Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° - 45° (fig.
1/7/8)
The mitre saw can be used to make crosscuts
of 0° -45° to the left and 0° -45° to the right in
relation to the stop rail.
Important! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable
stop rail (16a) must be ffxed in the inner posi
-
tion.
►
Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable
stop rail (16a) and push the moveable stop
