To set the parallel stop (6) to a specific dimension, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Release the parallel stop clamp (19).
2. Move the parallel stop (6) until the desired dimen-
sion is visible on the scale of the guide rail in the
sight glass (6a).
3. Push the parallel stop clamp (19) completely down
to fix it.
10.5 Using the mitre gauge (21) (Fig. 1, 12)
Do not slide the stop rail (21b) too far towards the saw
blade (3). The distance between the stop rail (21b) and
the saw blade (3) must be approx. 2 cm.
10.5.1 Adjusting the mitre gauge (Fig. 1, 12)
1. Fix the stop rail (21b) to the mitre gauge (21) by
tightening the wing nut (21c).
2. Slide the mitre gauge (21) into one of the two guide
grooves of the saw table (4).
3. Loosen the locking handle (21a) and turn the mitre
gauge (21) until the desired angle has been set.
4. Turn the locking handle (21a) tight again.

WARNING
Risk of injury due to incorrect installation
- Check that the product is properly assembled.
- Check the saw blade for mobility and moving
parts for ease of movement.
ATTENTION
After switching on the saw, you must wait until the saw
blade (3) has reached its maximum speed before mak-
ing the cut.
11.1 Working instructions
m
WARNING
Danger of injury!
Improper handling may result in serious injury.
- Observe and follow the safety and working in-
structions.
• When making longitudinal cuts, do not stand in front
of the circular table saw, but position yourself at an
angle to the cutting path.
• Always use the parallel stop for angled cuts.
• Use a push rod or wooden push stick in order to
guide the workpiece past the saw blade. Replace a
damaged or worn push stick immediately.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end of
the cutting process. Use a roller stand, for example.
• After switching on the circular table saw, wait until
the saw blade has reached its maximum speed be-
fore making the cut.
• Only operate the circular table saw with a chip ex-
traction system.
• Carry out a test cut after each new adjustment to
check the dimensions set.
• Check and clean the suction channels at regular
intervals.
11.2 Carrying out longitudinal cuts (Fig. 16)
DANGER!
Saw rectangular workpieces only with the long
side on the parallel stop. Never use the short side!
Risk of kick-back!
With a longitudinal cut, you cut a workpiece in its lon-
gitudinal direction. You must press one edge of the
workpiece against the parallel stop (6) and keep it there
while the flat side lies on the saw table (4).
1. Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the height
of the workpiece and the required width (see 11.4).
2. When sawing, the saw blade guard (1) is pushed
up and away from the workpiece.
3. First switch on the chip extraction system and then
the circular table saw.
4. Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your
fingers closed and slide it along the parallel stop
(6) into the saw blade (3).
5. Guide the workpiece laterally by holding it tight
with the left hand only up to the front edge of the
saw blade guard (1).
6. Always slide the workpiece to the end of the riving
knife (2) using the push stick (F).
11.2.1 Carrying out angled cuts (Fig. 17)
Angled cuts are always carried out using the parallel
stop (6). The parallel stop (6) must always be fitted to
the right of the saw blade (3).
Otherwise, workpieces may become jammed between
the parallel stop (6) and the saw blade (3) during saw-
ing, and be ejected at speed.
1. Set the saw blade (3) to the required angle (see 11.3).
2. Adjust the parallel stop (6) according to the width
and height of the workpiece (see 11.4).
3. Lower the saw blade guard (1) onto the saw table (4).
4. Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece
width (see 12.2).
