Setting the saw blade tilt

Danger!
Body parts, objects or machine parts in the
adjustment area can get caught by the
running saw blade! Set the depth of cut only
with the saw blade at standstill!
The blade bevel angle can be adjusted between -
1.5° and 46.5°.
1. Release clamping lever (18).
2. Set the desired saw blade inclination by
turning the hand wheel (17).
18 17
3. Lock the set inclination by tightening the
clamping lever (18) (turn clockwise).
Setting for undercutting
The blade tilt setting has end stops at 0° and 45°.
For special bevel cuts (undercutting) the bevel
angle can be increased by 1.5° in both directions.
 Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (19) and
place over the right-hand cam plate = bevel
angle of saw blade adjustable between –1.5°
and 45°.
 Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop (19) and
place over the left-hand cam plate = bevel angle
of saw blade adjustable between 0° and 46.5°.
-1,5° ... 45°
0° ... 46°
ON/OFF Switch
 Switch on = Move switch (15) up.
 Switch off = Move switch (15) down.
8.4 Adjusting ripping fence
It is mounted on the guide extrusion at the front of
the saw table.
– Position ripping fence (8) to the right of the saw
blade.
The marking in the magnifying glass shows the
set distance between the ripping fence and the
saw blade on the scale.
– Release the clamping lever (10) of the ripping
fence and shift the ripping fence until marking in
the magnifying glass indicates the desired
distance to the saw blade.
– Fine settings: By turning the knurled nut (11) (on
the right-front of the clamping element) you can
precisely adjust the cutting width.
Press the clamping lever (10) downwards to
do this.
– The fence extrusion (43) must be, together with
the ripping fence, parallel with the saw blade
and locked in position by the clamping lever (10)
during the sawing process. Press the clamping
lever (10) downwards to do this.
– Knurled nuts (44) for attaching the fence
extrusion. After loosening the two knurled nuts
(44), the fence extrusion can be removed and
shifted:
Small edge:
– for cutting thin stock;
– when the saw blade is tilted.
Wide edge:
– for cutting heigh workpieces.
8.5 Adjusting pointer on ripping fence
1. Align ripping fence with saw blade.
2. Loosen ripping fence pointer fixing screw.
19
3. Bring pointer on ripping fence and "0" on scale
into alignment.
4. Retighten ripping fence pointer fixing screw.
Note:
To avoid the workpiece jamming when cutting
along the ripping fence:
Slide ripping fence all the way to the right table
edge and then back to the required cutting width.
Note:
Adjust ripping fence (if necessary): To prevent the
workpiece from jamming between parallel stop
15
and saw blade, the ripping fence must be aligned
to the saw blade,
or set to a max. of 0.3 mm opening to the rear. To
adjust it, release the 2 screws on the upper side
of the parallel stop and then tighten again.
Note:
Adjust the clamping force of the ripping fence (if
required): In case the rear clamping piece should
engage earlier or later than the front clamping
piece, this can be set by turning the nut (30).
Loosen the nut (30) so that the rear clamping
piece clamps later. Tighten the nut (30) so that
the rear clamping piece clamps earlier.
8.6 Setting mitre fence
The mitre fence (7) is inserted into the table slot
from the table's front edge.
43 8 10

45
For mitre cuts the mitre fence turns to 60° in both
directions.
For 45° and 90° miters positive stops are
provided.
To set a mitre angle: loosen locking handle (6) by
turning it counter-clockwise.
Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre fence the lock
handle must be firmly tightened.
The auxiliary fence extrusion can be taken off and
reversed after loosening knurled nut (46).
Note:
If necessary, the play of the mitre fence (7) can be
set: Loosen the screws (45) on the plastic slider
on the mitre fence guide rails, move the mitre
fence (7), tighten the screws again.
8.7 Adjusting table side extension
The table width extension (12) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
larger workpieces.
 The clamping lever (12) has to be released to
adjust the table width extension (9).
Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre fence the handle
must be firmly tightened.
Scale reading when using the ripping fence
On which scale the cutting width is read depends
on how the fence extrusion is installed on the
ripping fence:
– Wide edge =
scale with black numerals on white background.
– Small edge =
scale with white numerals on black background.
For small cutting widths the table side extension
is not extended. The cuttings width is read on the
respective right-hand scale at the ripping fence's
pointer:
– High edge: Cutting widths from 0 to 35 cm
possible.
– Low edge: Cutting widths from 0 to 29.5 cm
possible.
If larger workpieces are to be cut, the table width
extension (12) needs to be extended.
1. Shift ripping fence to the end position on the
scale.
2. Pull out table side extension and set ripping
fence to desired cutting width. The cuttings
width is read on the respective left-hand scale
at the scale's pointer.
8.8 Adjusting table extension
The table length extension (1) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
longer workpieces.
