ble.
7.2 Sawing with the mitre
fence
1. Swing mitre fence on the table top.

lowing step with the help of the push
stick.

mitre fence up to the saw blade and
cut in a single pass.

Tips and tricks

Before making a cut: make a trial

cut on appropriate waste pieces.
 Always lay the workpiece on the
saw table such that it cannot tip
over or wobble (e.g. place a curved
board with the convex side up).
 For long workpieces: use suitable
workpiece supports, for example
roller support or extension table
(see 'Available Accessories').
Keep surfaces of the table top and

table extension clean – in particular,
remove resin residue with a suitable
73
cleaning and maintenance spray
(optional accessory).

Care and maintenance

A
Danger!
Unplug before servicing.
– Repair and maintenance work oth-
er than described in this section
should only be carried out by quali-
fied specialists.
– Damaged parts, particularly safety
devices, must only be replaced with
genuine parts. Parts which have not
been tested and released by the
manufacturer can lead to unfore-
seen damage.
– Check that all safety devices are
operational again after each serv-
ice.

can be very hot – burn hazard! Let a
hot saw blade cool down.
Do not clean the saw blade with
combustible liquids.
Risk of injury, even with the blade at
standstill. Wear gloves when chang-
ing blades.
When fitting a saw blade, observe
the direction of rotation!
