5. Tighten the saw blade (22) with the clamping lever
(11), by pressing it down again. Check the tension of
the saw blade (22). If the tension is insufficient, it can be
increased by turning the lever (11) clockwise.
6. Put the table insert (26) back. (see 9.1.1)
NOTE
The left side features a storage box (9), which enables you to
stow replacement saw blades and the hexagon wrench.
9.2 Checking the saw blade tension
WARNING
Check the blade tension regularly and after insert-
ing a saw blade.
Tension the saw blade after assembly by pressing down on the
tension lever (11).
If the blade tension is too low or too high, proceed as follows:
• Fold the tension lever (11) upwards.
• Turn the tension lever (11) clockwise to increase the tension
and anti-clockwise to reduce it.
• Press the tension lever down again to engage the setting.
If the tension is correct, the saw blade should produce a light
tone when it is "plucked", like a guitar string.
9.3 Calibrating the angle scale (fig. 12, 12.1)
IMPORTANT
Check the adjustment of the angular scale before you start
working with the unit.
1. Loosen the locknut of the adjustment screw (37) using
an open-end wrench SW8 (not included in the scope of
delivery).
2. To set the saw table, use a 90° angle (31). Place this
against the saw table and the saw blade (fig. 12).
3. Loosen the knurled nut (14). Adjust the adjustment screw
(37) until the angle between the saw blade (22) and the
saw table (6) is 90°.
4. Tighten the knurled nut (14) and the locking nut of the
adjusting screw (37) again.
5. Loosen the screw (32) and turn the pointer (33) to the
0° marking.
6. Make a test cut. Check the angle on the workpiece with a
protractor. If necessary, readjust the pointer (33).
9.4 Installing the depressor (fig. 6, 7)
NOTE:
Before assembling the depressor (24), the saw blade (22) pre-
installed at the factory must be removed (see 9.1).
1. Remove the saw blade (22) as described in 9.1.
2. Remove the depressor (24) from the saw blade guard
(5): Completely loosen the screw (25) using a Phillips
screwdriver (not included in the scope of delivery) (see
fig. 6).
3. Insert the holder (4) into the opening (see fig. 7).
4. Fasten the holder (4) with the knurled screw (3).
8 GB/IE
5. Install the depressor (24) on the saw blade guard (5). In-
sert the screw (25) into the holder (4). Tighten the screw
(25) with a Phillips screwdriver (not included in the scope
of delivery).
6. Insert the saw blade (22) again as described in 9.1.
7. Ensure that the depressor (24) does not contact the saw
blade (22).
9.4.1 Setting the depressor
NOTE: The depressor (24) must always be adjusted according
to the workpiece height. However, the workpiece should not be
clamped, but should rather be able to move freely. The depres-
sor (24) is used to lock the workpiece so that it cannot swing
upwards, which would destroy the saw blade (22).
1. Loosen the knurled screw (3) to set the depressor (24).
2. Adjust the depressor (24) according to the workpiece
height.
3. Tighten the knurled screw (3) again.
9.5 Installing the blow-off device (fig. 8)
1. Ensure that the saw blade guard (5) folded down.
2. Screw the blow-off device (1) clockwise onto the holder
(2) as described in fig. 8.
9.6 Chip extraction (fig. 13)
ATTENTION: Only operate the product with a suitable chip
extraction system. Do not use a common household vacuum
cleaner.
Connect a suitable chip extraction system (not included in the
scope of delivery) to the suction connection (15) (see fig. 13,
sample figure).
ATTENTION: Check and clean the suction channels at regu-
lar intervals.

10. Operation

10.1 General information
• The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather, the operator
must push and guide the wood toward the moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the downstroke.
• The wood must be slowly pushed and guided toward the
saw blade, since the teeth of the blade are very small.
• Those who want to use the saw must go through the process
of learning how to do so. During this time, a few blades will
invariably break.
• When cutting thicker wood, special attention must be paid
not to bend or twist the saw blade.
• Handling the saw blade properly increases its service life.
10.2 On/off switch (16)
• Switching on: Press the "I" button.
• Switching off: Press the "0" button.
ATTENTION
The machine is equipped with a safety switch against reactiva-
tion if the voltage drops.
