8.3 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° (Fig.8)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm
it is possible to fix the traction function of the saw
with the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this
position the machine can be operated in cross cut-
ting mode. If the cutting width is over 100 mm then
it is necessary to ensure that the set screw (20) is
loose and the machine head (4) can move.
Attention ! For 90° cross cuts, the moveable stop
rail (16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) on the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (28) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a
position far enough from the inner 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 no collision could
occur between the stop rail (16a) and the saw blade
(6).
• Tighten the set screw (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (3) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail
(16) and on the turntable (14).
• Lock the material with the clamping device (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Push down the release lever (3) to release the ma-
chine head (4).
• Press the ON/OFF switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place: use the han -
dle (1) to move the machine head (4) steadily and
with light pressure downwards until the saw blade
(6) has completely cut through the work piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place: pull
the machine head (4) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by ap-
plying steady and light downward pressure.
Now push the machine head (4) slowly and steadily
to the very back until the saw blade (6) has com-
pletely cut through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move
the machine head (4) 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 completing the
cut; instead allow the machine head to move up-
wards slowly whilst applying light counter pressure.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails
or screws, etc.
• Before you press the ON/OFF switch check that the
saw blade is fitted correctly. 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.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not allow
you to switch from the ON state to the OFF state.
8. Attachment and operation
8.1 Attaching the saw (Fig. 1/2/3/4/5)
• In order to adjust the rotary table (14) loosen the set
screw (26) approx. 2 turns.
• Turn the rotary table (14) and pointer (12) to the
desired angle measurement on the scale (13) and
secure with the set screw (26).
• Pressing the machine head (4) lightly downwards
and removing the locking bolt (23) from the motor
bracket at the same time disengages the saw from
the lowest position.
• Swing the machine head (4) up until the release le-
ver (3) latches into place.
• It is possible to secure the clamping device (7) to
the left or right on the stationary saw bench (15).
Insert the clamping device (7) in the hole on the
rear side of the stop rail (16) and secure it with the
star grip screw (7a).
• Attach the workpiece supports (8) to the fixed saw
table (15) as shown in Figure 5 and fasten with the
screw (9).
• It is possible to tilt the machine head (4) a max. 45°
to the left by loosening the set screw (22).
8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for cross-
cut 90° (Fig. 1/6/7)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure using the
locking bolt (23).
• Loosen the set screw (22).
• Position the angle stop (a) between the saw blade
(6) and the rotary table (14).
• Adjust the adjusting screw (27) until the angle be-
tween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90°.
It is not necessary to fix this setting because it is
maintained by the spring pretension. 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.
