• Attach the workpiece supports (7) to the fixed saw
table (8) as shown in Fig. 6, 7 & 8 and push all
the way through. Secure the shafts with the locking
screws to prevent them from slipping out acciden-
tally. Then fasten in the desired position with the
locking screw for the moveable stop rail (16).
• The machine head (19) can be tilted to the left to
max. 45° by loosening the locking screw (24). The
locking pin (24a) must be loosened to tilt the ma-
chine head (19) to the right to max. 45°.
9.2 Fine adjustment of the stop for 90° chop cut
(Fig. 3, 5, 19)
Engineers square (a) not included in the scope of
delivery.
• Lower the machine head (19) and fix it with the lock-
ing pin (21).
• Loosen the locking screw (24).
• Place the engineers square (a) between the saw
blade (35) and the rotary table (14).
• Loosen the counternut (d). Adjust the adjustment
screw (30) until the angle between the saw blade
(35) and the rotary table (14) is 90°.
• Retighten the counternut (d) to lock the setting.
• Then check the position of the angle display. If nec-
essary, loosen the pointer (23) with a Phillips screw-
driver, set the scale (22) to 0° position and re-tight-
en the pointer (23).
9.3 Fine adjustment of the stop for 45° mitre cut
(Fig. 3, 5, 2)
Engineers square (b) not included in the scope
of delivery.
• Lower the machine head (19) and fix it with the lock-
ing pin (21).
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the locking screw (24) and tilt the machine
head (19) to the left, to 45°, using the handle (1).
• Place 45° stop bracket (b) between saw blade (35)
and rotary table (14).
• Loosen the counternut (c). Adjust the adjustment
screw (29) until the angle between the saw blade
(35) and the rotary table (14) is exactly 45°.
• Retighten the counternut (c) to lock the setting.

9.4 90° chop cut and rotary table 0°
(Fig. 1, 2, 8, 10)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it is
possible to fix the traction function of the saw with the
locking screw (26) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in chop cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary
to ensure that the locking screw (26) is loose and the
machine head (19) can move.
Attention! For 90° mitre cuts, the moveable stop rail
(5) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Loosen the locking screw (16) for the moveable stop
rail and push the moveable stop rail (5) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (5) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35) is no more than 5 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35).
• Tighten the set screw (16) again.
• Move the machine head (19) to the upper position.
• Use the handle (1) to push back the machine head
(19) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the wood to be cut against the stop rail (6)
and on the rotary table (14).
• Secure the material with the clamping device (15)
on the fixed saw table (8) to prevent it from shifting
during the cutting process.
• Unlock the locking switch (3) and press the on/off
switch (2) to switch the motor on.
• With the slide rail fixed (25): Move the machine head
(19) with the handle (1) evenly and with light pres-
sure downwards until the saw blade (35) has cut
through the workpiece.
• With the drag guide (25) not fixed in place: pull the
machine head (19) all the way to the front. Lower the
handle (1) to the very bottom by applying steady and
light downward pressure. Now push the machine
head (19) slowly and steadily to the very back until
the saw blade (35) has completely cut through the
work piece.
• When the sawing process is finished, return the
machine head to the upper resting position and re-
lease the ON/OFF switch (2). Attention! The return
spring automatically raises the machine. Do not let
go of the handle (1) after finishing cutting but move
the machine head slowly upwards with light coun-
ter-pressure.
9.5 90° chop cut and rotary table 0°- 45°
(Fig. 1, 12)
Angled cuts of 0° - 45° to the stop rail to the left and
right can be carried out with the chop saw.
Attention! For 90° mitre cuts, the moveable stop rail
(5) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Loosen the locking screw (16) for the moveable stop
rail (5) and push the moveable stop rail (5) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (5) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35) is no more than 5 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35).
• Tighten the set screw (16) again.
• Turn the locking knob (10) counter-clockwise and
pull the lower indexed position lever (11) upwards
with your index finger.
• Use the locking knob (10) to adjust the rotary table
(14) to the desired angle. The pointer (12) on the
rotary table (14) must match the desired angle on
the scale (13) on the fixed saw table (8).
• Turn the locking knob (10) clockwise to fix the rotary
table (14) in place.
• Make a cut as described in point 9.4.
9.6 0°- 45° mitre cut and rotary table 0°
(Fig. 1, 2, 5, 11)
Mitre cut of 0° - 45° to the stop rail to the left and right
can be carried out with the chop saw.
Attention! For bevel cuts (inclined saw head), the
moveable stop rail (5) must be fixed in the outer po-
sition.
• Loosen the locking screw (16) on the moveable
stop rail (5) and push the moveable stop rail (5)
outwards.
• The moveable stop rail (5) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35) is at least 5 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35).
• Tighten the set screw (16) again.
• Move the machine head (19) to the upper position.
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the locking screw (24) and tilt the machine
head (19) to the left with the handle (1) until the
pointer (23) points to the desired angle on the scale
(22).

• Retighten the locking screw (24).
• Make a cut as described in point 9.4.
9.7 0°- 45° mitre cut and rotary table 0°- 45°
(Fig. 1, 2, 6, 12)
The chop saw can be used for mitre cuts of 0°- 45° to
the left and right of the work surface and of 0°- 45° to
the stop rail (double mitre cut).
Attention! For bevel cuts (inclined saw head), the
moveable stop rail (5) must be fixed in the outer po-
sition.
• Loosen the locking screw (16) on the moveable
stop rail (5) and push the moveable stop rail (5)
outwards.
• The moveable stop rail (5) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35) is at least 5 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (5) and the saw blade
(35).
• Tighten the set screw (16) again.
• Move the machine head (19) to the upper position.
• Turn the locking knob (10) counter-clockwise and
pull the lower indexed position lever (11) upwards
with your index finger to release the rotary table.
• Use the locking knob (10) to adjust the rotary table
(14) to the desired angle (see also point 9.5).
• Turn the locking knob (10) clockwise to fix the rotary
table (14) in place.
• Loosen the locking screw (24) and use the handle
(1) to tilt the machine head (19) to the left to the de-
sired angle (see also point 9.6).
• Retighten the locking screw (24).
• Make a cut as described in point 9.4.
9.8 Restricting the cutting depth (Fig. 3)
• The cutting depth can be seamlessly adjusted with
the screw (27). To do so, loosen the knurled nut
on the screw (27). Set the desired cutting depth
by screwing in or unscrewing the screw (27). Then
retighten the knurled nut on the screw (27).
• Check the setting with a test cut.
9.9 Dust bag (Fig. 1)
• The saw is equipped with a dust bag (18) for saw-
dust.
• Squeeze the wings of the metal ring on the dust
bag (18) together and slide it over the discharge
port near the motor.
