Mounting Individual Components
– Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from
their packaging.
– Remove all packaging material from the machine and the
accessories provided.
– For easier working when mounting the supplied product
features, please observe that the machine is in the trans-
port position.
Mounting the Tilt-Protector Bar (see figure A)
Before using the power tool for the first time, the tilt-protec-
tor bar 30 must be mounted.
– Turn the power tool over and place it carefully on the blade
guard 4 and the saw table 8.
– Insert the tilt-protector bar 30 into the mounting holes pro-
vided in the base plate until the threaded holes of tilt-pro-
tector bar and base plate are flush.
– Insert the fastening screws 42 into the threaded holes and
tighten them using the hex key 38 provided.
– Turn the power tool over so that it is back in the correct po-
sition for working.
 Never remove the tilt-protector bar. Without the use of
the tilt-protector bar, the machine does not stand safely
and can tip over, especially when sawing at maximum mi-
tre/bevel angles.
Mounting stationary saw-table extensions (see figure B)
The stationary saw-table extensions 17 must be screwed to
the left and right of the saw table 8 with the power tool.
– Insert one saw-table extension 17 using the fastening
screws 16 forward into the opening 34 on the power tool.
– Tighten the fastening screws 16 with the hex key 38 pro-
vided.
Stationary or Flexible Mounting
Mounting without Base Unit (see figure C)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw fasteners to the
working surface. The mounting holes 9 serve for this pur-
pose.
Flexible Mounting (not recommended!) (see figure D)
In exceptional cases, when it is not possible to mount the ma-
chine onto a level and stable work surface, it can be set up us-
ing the tilt protector.
 Without the use of the tilt protector, the machine does
not stand safely and can tip over, especially when saw-
ing at maximum mitre/bevel angles.
– Screw the tilt protector 12 in or out until the machine is po-
sitioned level on the working surface.
PCM 8 ST: Mounting with Base Unit (see figures F1–F6)
– Place one plastic cap on a leg profile F.
– Insert two carriage bolts g through a long leg profile F, a
short leg profile C and a short connecting profile E. Secure
the carriage bolts loosely with the flange nuts h.
– Connect a second leg (long leg profile F, short leg profile C)
to the short connecting profile E. Secure the carriage bolts
loosely with the flange nuts h.
– Repeat both of the previous steps with the remaining pro-
files F, C, E.
1 609 92A 1GN | (23.6.15)
– Connect each of the now assembled side sections of the
base unit with a long connecting profile D. Secure the car-
riage bolts loosely with the flange nuts h.
– Place the long head profiles A on the leg profiles C and
screw them tight to the base unit.
– Place the short head profiles B from the outside on the long
head profiles A (mounting holes upward) and screw them
tight to the base unit. Make sure that the mounting holes of
both head parts are flush.
– Place the shims i all the way onto the short head profiles B.
Make sure that the mounting holes of the shim and those of
the head part are flush.
– Insert one carriage bolt g through the square hole of the
shim i and head profile B. Secure the carriage bolts loosely
with the flange nuts h.
– Tighten all flange nuts h with a box-end or open-end span-
ner (12 mm).
– Place the power tool on the shims i. Make sure that the
mounting holes 9 on the power tool are flush with the
mounting holes of the shim and those of the head part.
– Screw the power tool to the base unit using the fastening
screws j, the washers k and the flange nuts h.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Always use dust extraction.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by dust, chips or
workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains plug from the
socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and correct it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure E)
– Mount the dust bag 23 onto the chip ejector 29.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come into contact
with the movable machine parts.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size Ø 35 mm) can also
be connected to the chip ejector 29.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
