The noise from this saw has been measured accord-
ing to DIN ENISO 3744; 11/95, E DIN EN 31201; 6/93,
ISO7960 Appendix A; 2/95.
Vibration emission value a = 1.74 m/s

The specified vibration emission value has been
measured according to a standardised test proce-
dure and can be used in comparison with another
power tool.
The specified vibration emission value can also be
used for an initial assessment of the exposure.
7. Set-up
m WARNING
For your own safety, only put the mains plug into the
socket when you have completed all assembly steps
and you have read and understood the safety notices
and the operating instructions.
Assembly (Fig. 4)
• Lift the machine from the packaging with the help
of another person.
• Set the rotary table to position 0° and attach the
rip fence.
m NOTICE
• If you are intending to attach the machine to a table
top, do not use the rubber feet.
• To attach the rubber feet, carefully tilt the machine
to the right so it is supported by the motor.
• Insert the nut (34) into the underneath of the rub-
ber feet.
• Insert the Allen screw (32) into the feet of the ma-
chine from above. Secure the rubber feet (33) with
the nut (34) inserted previously on the screw (32).
• Attach the rubber feet only finger-tight.
• Tighten the screw with the Allen key.
• Position the machine on a level surface:
• All four feet of the machine have to be positioned
firmly and securely on the surface.
• The ideal height for such a surface is approx.
800 mm.
• The saw always has to be stable and secure
even when larger work pieces are cut.
• Store the packaging safely for potential use at a
later stage or dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly way according to usual material separation.
Assembling the work piece clamping device (Fig.
1)
• Loosen the mitre lock (16) and attach the work
piece clamping device (15) to the left or right of
the fixed saw bench.
• Afterwards, retighten the mitre lock (16).
Attaching the extraction unit
Particles from certain timber types (e.g. beech, birch,
ash) can cause harm when inhaled. Therefore, use
an extraction unit:
• when the saw has been set up in a closed room;
• when the saw is being used for longer periods
(more than half an hour per day);
• when sawing oak, beech or ash.

28 І 76
The extraction unit must comply with the following re-
quirements:
• The diameter of the extraction connection has to
fit (32 mm).
• Air flow volume of at least 550 m3/hr.
• The vacuum at the saw's extraction output has to
be a minimum of 740 Pa.
• The air flow volume at the saw's extraction output
has to be a minimum of 20 m/s.
• You must comply with the specifications for the use
of the extraction unit.

8. Operation

Changing the sawing mode
m DANGER
Remove the mains plug before changing the saw-
ing mode!
On delivery, the saw is in table circular saw operating
mode.
The saw has two work settings:
1. Table circular saw
2. Chop and mitre saw
Changing the combination saw must be carried
out according to the following procedure and
step by step. Otherwise, damage can be caused
to the components.
Use as chop and mitre saw (Fig. 5)
Attention! For 90° mitre cuts, the moveable stop
rail
(53) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw on the moveable stop rail (53)
with an Allen key and push the moveable stop rail
(53) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (53) must be locked in a po-
sition far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (53) and the saw
blade (12) is no more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (53) and the saw blade
(12).
• Secure the locking lever again.
Important. To make miter cuts (inclined saw
head), the adjustable stop rail (53) must be fixed
at the outer position.
• Open the set screw (53) for the adjustable stop rail
(53) with an Allen key and push the adjustable stop
rail outwards.
• The adjustable stop rail (53) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (53) and the saw
blade (12) amounts to a maximum of 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (53)
and the saw blade (12) cannot collide.
• Secure the locking lever again.
• The rip fence (1) has to be installed in such a way
that the saw blade is covered. This activates switch
(A). The cover (rip fence) (1) has to be securely fas-
tened with the lock screw (18).
• On the handle (5) lightly push down the saw head
and pull out the lock pin (20). Ensure you are still
holding the handle down with slight pressure so
that the saw head does not spring back up.
• The saw head is now loosened and swings up-
