Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 25 (wide
workpieces), loosen the locking screw 31 in
case it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate
for its dimensions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 10 far
enough so that the saw blade is in front of
the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press button 4 and guide the tool arm slowly
downward with handle 5.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the
fence 10 and saw through the workpiece ap-
plying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length
(see figure Q)
The length stop 36 can be used for easily sawing
workpieces to the same length.
– Loosen wing nut 52 and position the length
stop to the requested distance to the saw
blade.
– Tighten the wing nut again.
– Position the workpiece against the stop.
Check again with the cutting line marked by
the laser if the length stop is positioned cor-
rectly.
– Saw this and the other workpieces to the
same length according to the work steps in
the section "Sawing".

Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves)
(see figure R)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a butt
gap is to be sawed.
– Loosen both lock nuts 53 using a commercial
box-end or open-end spanner (size 14 mm).
– Loosen the stop nut 54 and screw the depth
stop 29 all the way up turning in anticlock-
wise direction.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 5 to the posi-
tion at which the requested groove depth is
reached.
– Screw the depth stop in clockwise direction
until the end of the screw faces against the
casing stop 55.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
– Retighten the stop nut 54 first and then the
lock nuts 53.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces,
these must be especially secured against slip-
ping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist be-
tween workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Replacing the Insert Plate
(see figure S)
The red insert plates 12 can become worn after
long use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Unscrew the screws 56 using the provided
Phillips screwdriver and remove the old in-
sert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to
the right with the screws 56 so that the saw
blade does not come into contact with the in-
sert plate over the complete length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner
for the left-hand insert plate.
