8. Place 45° engineers square (B) between saw blade
(6) and rotary table (18).
9. Loosen the counternut (36a) and adjust the adjusting
screw (36) until the angle between the saw blade (8)
and the rotary table (18) is exactly 45°.
10. Tighten the counternut (36a) again.
11. Then check the position of the angle display. If neces-
sary, loosen the pointer (16) with a Phillips screw-
driver, set the scale (17) to 45° position and re-tighten.
10 Operation
10.1 Operating the clamping device (25)
(Fig. 1)
The height of the clamping device (25) can be adjusted
via the locking screw (25a).
1. Lower the clamping device (25) onto the workpiece.
2. Tighten the locking screw (25c).
3. Turn the knurled screw (25b) clockwise to clamp the
workpiece.
4. In order to loosen the workpiece, proceed in reverse
order.
10.2 Cutting depth limit (groove sawing)
(Fig. 1, 9)
WARNING
Risk of kick-back!
When making grooves, it is particularly important that
no lateral pressure is exerted on the saw blade. Other-
wise the saw head could suddenly kick up!
– Use a clamping device when making grooves. Avoid
lateral pressure on the saw head.
1. The cutting depth can be seamlessly adjusted with the
screw (31). Loosen the knurled nut (31a) on the screw
for this. Set the desired cutting depth by screwing in or
unscrewing the screw (31). Then retighten the knurled
nut (31a) on the screw (31).
2. Check the setting with a test cut.
10.3 Switching the laser on / off (Fig. 19)
Switching on:
1. Press the laser ON/OFF switch (4) 1x. A laser line is
projected onto the workpiece to be cut, indicating the
exact cutting path.
Switching off:
1. Press the laser ON/OFF switch (4) again.
LED work light on/off switch (43)
(Applies only to article number: 59012159953)
Press the laser on/off switch (4) repeatedly to switch be-
tween the laser (10) and the LED work light (43):
Press 1 x Laser (10) ON/LED (43) OFF
Press 2 x Laser (10) OFF/LED (43) ON
Press 3 x Laser (10) ON/LED (43) ON
Press 4 x Laser (10) OFF/LED (43) OFF

10.4 Serial cuts (Fig. 1, 10)
For repeated cuts of the same length, the length stop (22)
can be opened. You can use the length stop (22) on the
right and on the left.
1. Fold up the length stop (22).
2. Loosen the locking screw for the workpiece support
(20).
3. Pull out the workpiece support (21).
4. Set the required dimension between saw blade (8)
and length stop (22).
5. Re-tighten the locking screw for the workpiece support
(20).
6. Carry out the cuts as described in 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and
10.8.
10.5 Chop cut 90° and rotary table 0°
(Fig. 1, 11, 12)
At cutting widths of up to approx. 100 mm, it is possible to
use the locking screw (28a) to secure the saw's sliding
function in the rear position. In this position the saw can
be operated in chop cutting mode. If the cutting width is
over 100 mm, ensure that the locking screw (28a) is loose
and that the saw head (6) can move (Fig. 4).
ATTENTION
For 90° chop cuts, the moveable stop rail must be fixed
in the inner position.
Hints for clamping:
• Do not work with workpieces that are to small to be
clamped in place.
• Reinforce very thin workpieces by sawing through
them together with an additional bar. Very thin work-
pieces may "flutter" or break when sawing
1. Loosen the locking screw (23) for the moveable stop
rail (11) and push the moveable stop rail (11) inwards.
2. The moveable stop rail (11) must be locked in a posi-
tion far enough from the inner position that the dis-
tance between the moveable stop rail (11) and the
saw blade (8) is no more than 8 mm.
3. Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the moveable stop rail (11) and the
saw blade (8).
4. Tighten the set screw (23) again.
5. Move the saw head (6) to the upper position.
6. Use the handle (1) to push back the saw head (6) and
fix it in this position if required (dependent on the cut-
ting width).
7. Place the wood to be cut against the stop rail (12) and
on the rotary table (18).
8. Secure the material with the clamping device (25) on
the fixed saw table (19) to prevent it from shifting
during the cutting process.
9. Unlock the locking switch (3) and press the on/off
switch (2) to switch the motor on.
10. Move the saw head (6) with the handle (1) evenly and
with light pressure downwards until the saw blade (8)
has cut through the workpiece.
