Adjusting the Cutting Angle

When adjusting the cutting angle, never ac-
tuate the On/Off switch 20. Danger of injury
if the machine should accidentally start.
Adjusting Horizontal Mitre Angles
The horizontal mitre angle can be set in the
range from 47° (left side) to 47° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 9 in case it is tight-
ened.
– Turn the saw table 8 left or right by the lock-
ing knob until the angle indicator 12 indi-
cates the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 9 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mi-
tre angles, the saw table 8 engages at the de-
tents of the following standard angles:
–45°/ –30°/–22.5°/ –15°/
0°/ 15°/ 22.5°/ 30°/ 45°
Adjusting Vertical Bevel Angles
(see figure I)
The vertical bevel angle can be set in the range
from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the clamping lever 17.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 until the an-
gle indicator 39 indicates the desired bevel
angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retight-
en the clamping lever 17.
For quick and precise setting of the standard
angles 0° und 45°, end stops are provided on
the housing.
– Loosen the clamping lever 17.
– For this, tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 to
the stop toward the right (0°) or to the stop
toward the left (45°).
– Retighten the clamping lever 17 again.

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On (see figure J)
– To start the machine, press the On/Off
switch 20 and keep it pressed.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 20
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downward
when pressing lever 3.
– For sawing, you must additionally press lever
3 in addition to actuating the On/Off switch
20.
Switching Off
– To switch off the machine, release the
On/Off switch 20.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
Always firmly tighten locking knob 9 and
clamping lever 17 before sawing. Otherwise
the saw blade could become jammed in the
workpiece.
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the fence, screw clamps or other ma-
chine parts. Remove possibly mounted aux-
iliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure K)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the
saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of
the workpiece for sawing, without having to
open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the
switch 21.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece
with reference to the right-hand edge of the
laser line.
