• Loosen the set screw (22) and use the handle (1)
to angle the machine head (5) to the left, until the
pointer (20) indicates the desired angle measure-
ment on the scale (19).
• Re-tighten the fixing screw (22).
• Cut as described in section 8.3.
8.7 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45°
(Fig. 1, 2, 6, 9)
The crosscut saw can be used to make mitre cuts to
the left and right of 0°- 45° in relation to the work face
and, at the same time, 0° - 45° to the left or 0° - 45° to
the right in relation to the stop rail (double mitre cut).
Important. To make miter cuts (inclined saw head),
the adjustable stop rail (28) must be fixed at the out-
er position.
• Open the locking lever (29) for the adjustable stop
rail (28) and push the adjustable stop rail outwards.
• The adjustable stop rail (28) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (28) and the saw
blade (7) amounts to a maximum of 5 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (28)
and the saw blade (7) cannot collide.
• Secure the locking lever (29) again.
• Move the machine head (5) to its upper position.
• Release the rotary table (16) by loosening the set
screw (26).
• Using the handle (13), set the rotary table (16) to the
desired angle (refer also to point 8.4 in this regard).
• Re-tighten the set screw (26) in order to secure the
rotary table.
• Undo the locking screw (22) and use the handle (1)
to tilt the machine head (5) to the left until it coin-
cides with the required angle value (in this connec-
tion see also section 8.6).
• Re-tighten the fixing screw (22).
• Cut as described under section 8.3.
8.8 Limiting the cutting depth (Fig. 3)
• The cutting depth can be infinitely adjusted using
the screw (26). To do this loosen the knurled nut
on the screw (26). Turn the screw (26) in or out to
set the required cutting depth. Then re-tighten the
knurled nut on the screw (26).
• Check the setting by completing a test cut.
8.9 Sawdust bag (Fig. 2)
• The saw is equipped with a debris bag (21) for saw-
dust and chips.
• Squeeze together the metal ring on the dust bag
and attach it to the outlet opening in the motor area.
• The debris bag (21) can be emptied by means of a
zipper at the bottom.
8.10 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 11 - 14)
Remove the power plug!
Important. Wear safety gloves when changing the
saw blade. Risk of injury!
• Swing up the machine head (5).
• Loosen the screw (f) of the flange cover so that it
is free to move.
• Swing up the saw blade guard (6) to the point where
the recess in the saw blade guard (6) is above the
flange bolt (32).
• Insert the hexagonal key (c) in the flange bolt (32).
• Firmly press the saw shaft lock (4) and slowly ro-
tate the flange bolt (32) in clockwise direction. The
saw shaft lock (4) engages after no more than one
rotation.
• Now, using a little more force, slacken the flange
bolt (32) in the clockwise direction.
• Turn the flange screw (32) right out and remove the
external flange (33).
• Take the blade (7) off the inner flange (37) and pull
out downwards.
• Carefully clean the flange screw (32), outer flange
(33) and inner flange (37).
• Fit and fasten the new saw blade (6) in reverse or-
der.
• Important! The cutting angle of the teeth, in oth-
er words the direction of rotation of the saw blade
(7) must coincide with the direction of the arrow on
the housing.
• Move the guide bar into position and tighten the
screw (f) again.
• Before continuing your work make sure that all safe-
ty devices are in good working condition.
• Important! Every time that you change the saw
blade (7), check to see that it spins freely in the
table insert (11) in both perpendicular and 45° an-
gle settings.
• Important! The work to change and align the saw
blade (7) must be carried out correctly.
8.11 Using the laser/LED (Fig. 10, 15)
• To switch on: Move the ON/OFF switch of the la-
ser (35) to the "1" position. A laser line is projected
onto the material you wish to process, providing an
exact guide for the cut.
