For mitre angles greater than 45°:
Pull the saw-table extension
13
completely outward (see
“Extending the Saw Table”, page 27).
– Tighten the locking knob
20
again.
– To loosen the lever

Adjusting Bevel Angles
Adjusting Standard Bevel Angles (see figure K)
For quick and precise setting of frequently used bevel angles,
stops have been provided for the 0°, 45°, 22.5° and 33.9°
angles.
– Loosen clamping lever
41
.
– Adjust stops
30
or
44
as follows:
– Swing the tool arm with the handle
8
to the requested po-
sition.
– Tighten clamping lever
41
again.
Adjusting Any Bevel Angle
The bevel angle can be set in a range from –2° to +47°.
– Loosen clamping lever
41
.
– Turn stop
30
completely to the rear and pull stop
44
com-
pletely to the front.

43
indicates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and tighten clamping le-
ver
41
again.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On (see figure L)
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
– For
starting operation
, pull the On/Off switch
7
in the di-
rection of the handle
8
.
Note:
For safety reasons, the On/Off switch
7
cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downward by pressing lock-
ing switch
9
.
– For
sawing
, the locking switch
9
must be therefore pushed
in addition to pressing the On/Off switch
7
.
Switching Off

Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure M)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch
40
.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.
Note:
Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated
correctly (see “Adjusting the Laser”, page 29). The laser
beam, as an example, can misadjust due to vibrations after in-
tensive use.
Position of the Operator (see figure N)
Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade.
This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
