6.2 Converting the combination saw (Fig. 1-4)
The saw has two working positions:
A: Bench-type circular saw (Fig. 1)
B: Cross-cut and mitre box saw (Fig. 2)
To convert the saw from one working
position to another, proceed step by
step exactly as described below or you
may damage components.
Caution: Pull out the power plug each time
before you convert the saw!
The saw is delivered in working position A (bench-
type circular saw).
6.2.1 Converting the saw to mitre box mode
Press down the machine head by the handle (2)
and pull out the retaining pin (23).
This disconnects the power supply to the switch
(4) for bench-type circular saw mode and
connects it to the switch (3) for mitre box saw
mode.
Caution! A return spring causes the machine
head to rise automatically at the end of the cut.
Do not let go of the handle (2) as soon as the cut
is completed but steady the machine head and
allow it to rise slowly.
Pull the changeover handle (15) forward and out
of the upper fixture.
Move the changeover handle (15) in downward
direction until it latches in the lower locking
mechanism.
Moving the changeover handle causes the two
side guard plates (37) to swing up.
The saw is now ready for use in mitre box saw
mode.
6.2.2 Converting the saw to bench-type circular
saw mode
Set the machine head in vertical position and the
rotary table (8) to 0°.
Fix the locking screws (10) and the clamping
screw (22).
Pull the changeover handle (15) forward and out
of the lower fixture.
Move the changeover handle (15) in upward
direction until it latches in the upper locking
mechanism. This causes the two side guard
plates (37) to swing down again, thus making it
impossible to reach into the blade (5).
Press the release button (1) and lower the
machine head by means of the handle (2).
Insert the retaining pin (23) in order to fix the saw
in the lower position. This also redirects the

power supply from switch (3) to switch (4).
The saw is now ready for use again in bench-
type circular saw mode.
7. Operation
(Fig. 1-9)
After every change of setting we recommend that
you make a test cut in order to check the new
dimensions.
The machine is equipped with an 8 amp fuse to
protect the motor. If the motor consumes too much
electricity due to overloading or jamming of the saw
blade, the fuse will blow and will need to be replaced.
To install a new fuse, proceed as follows:
Pull out the power plug!
Remove the cover of the fuse box (45) by un-
screwing the two screws (46) and carefully
remove the old fuse (47).
Insert a new fuse (8A) and refit the cover of the
fuse box (45).
7.1 Using as a bench-type circular saw
Convert the saw to bench-type circular saw mode
(see 6.2.2.). Be careful when starting the cut.
7.1.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 2)
To switch on the saw, press the green button.
Wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed
before starting the cut.
To switch off the saw, press the red button.
7.1.2 Making longitudinal cuts (slitting) (Fig. 4)
Undo the knurled screw (25) and set the cross
and parallel stop (18) to 90°. Re-fix the screw
(25).
Insert the parallel stop (18) from the right into the
front slot of the saw table (16).
Undo the two knurled screws (26). Slide the stop
rail (27) forward to a pint above the middle of the
blade (5) and fix in place.
Using the scale (a) on the saw table (16), set the
parallel stop (18) to the required dimension and
clamp in place with the locking screw (28).
Switch on the saw by pressing the green button.
Slowly and precisely slide the workpiece forward
along the parallel stop (18) to the blade (5).
The upper blade guard (17) opens automatically
when you slide the workpiece forward.
Caution:
For workpieces of less than 120 mm in width it is
imperative to use the supplied push stick (29) in
the area of the blade (5) (see Fig. 6).
For workpieces of less than 30 mm in width it is
imperative to use a push block (b) to move the
