Vertical clamp (fig. C5 & C6)
The vertical clamp (25) is used for upstroke cutting
of wide and irregular shaped materials (fig. C5).
• Insert the vertical clamp in the hole (26) in the
base (fig. C6) until the clamp (25) rests on the
workpiece (fig. C5).
• Pull the lever (27) down to clamp the workpiece.
• Lift the lever (27) to release the clamp (25).
Always use the vertical clamp when
cutting upstroke.
Quick travel feature (fig. C1)
The clamp has a quick travel feature.
• To release the clamp, rotate the handle (20) one
or two turns counterclockwise and pull the lever
(19) toward the handle (20).
Setting the clamping position (fig. C1 & C6)
The clamping position can be set to match the
cutting blade.
• Pull the clamp lever (28) toward the handle (20)
(fig. C1) and pull out the location pin (29) to
release the fence (7) (fig. C6).
• Move the fence (7) as required.
• Push the clamp lever (28) back down to the
cutting table (9) to lock the fence (7) (fig. C1).
If the clamp lever resistance is too light,
slightly tighten the two adjusting bolts on
the fence.
Setting the angle of cut (fig. C1 & C6)
The tool can be used for mitre cuts up to 45°.
• Pull the clamp lever (28) toward the handle (20)
to release the fence (7) (fig. C1).
• Set the fence (7) to the required angle. The angle
can be read on the scale (30). Use the edge of
the slot (31) as a reference (fig. C6).
• Push the clamp lever (28) back down to the
cutting table (9) to lock the fence (fig. C1).
If additional clamping is required, the angle of cut
can be further fixed in the 90° and 45° cross-cut
positions.
• Align the fence (7) with slot (32), slot (33) or slot
(34) in order to fix the 90° or 45° cross-cut
position (fig. C6).

Checking and adjusting the mitre scale
(fig. C1, D1 & D2)
• Pull the clamp lever (28) toward the handle (20)
to release the fence (fig. C1).
• Pull down the arm and lock it in this position by
pushing in the lock-down pin (36) (fig. D2).
• Place a square (37) against the fence (7) and the
left side of the cutting blade creating a perfect
90° (fig. D1).
• Push the clamp lever (28) back down to the
cutting table (9) to lock the fence (fig. C1).
• Pull out the lock-down pin (36) and return the
arm to its upper rest position (fig. D2).
• Check that the 0° marking on the scale (30)
aligns with the edge of the slot (31) (fig. D1).
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the screws (38).
• Align the 0° marking on the scale (30) with the
edge of the slot (31).
• Retighten the screws (38).
Adjusting the spark deflector (fig. E)
• Loosen the screw (39).
• Set the spark deflector (40) as appropriate.
• Tighten the screw (39).
Instructions for use
Prior to operation:
• Install the appropriate cutting blade. Only use

Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth
with the square.
• Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the
tool.
• Avoid overloading. Should the tool
