Replacing Insert Plates (see figure O)
The red insert plates 12 can become worn after prolonged
use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew the screws 55 using the provided cross-head
screwdriver and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new insert plates.
– Set the bevel angle to 47° (leftward).
– Push locking lever 43 and completely lower the tool arm.
– Position the insert plate approx. 2 mm away from the saw
blade. Make sure that the saw blade does not come in con-
tact with the insert plates throughout the complete possi-
ble ripping length.
– Refasten the insert plate with the screws.
– Repeat the work steps for the other insert plate in the same
manner.
Sawing
Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off) (see
figure P)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 31 in case it is tightened. Slide the
tool arm to the stop in the direction of the fence 20 and
retighten the locking screw 31.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press button 8 and guide the tool arm slowly downward
with handle 7.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 25 (wide workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 31 in case it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 20 far enough so that
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press button 8 and guide the tool arm slowly downward
with handle 7.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the fence 20 and saw
through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length (see figure Q)
The material stop 37 can be used for easily sawing workpiec-
es to the same length.
The material stop can be mounted on either side of the saw ta-
ble extension 38.
– Loosen lock screw 36 and swing the material stop 37 over
clamping screw 56.
– Retighten lock screw 36.
– Adjust the saw table extension 38 to the desired length
(see "Extending the Saw Table", page 30).
Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves)
(see figure R)
The depth stop must be adjusted when a trench gap is to be
sawed.
– Push the locking lever 43 and lower the tool arm to the de-
sired position.
– Press button 57.
– Push in adjusting screw 29 until the screw end touches
depth stop 58.
– Release button 57 again.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap
may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Sawing Profile Strips/Mouldings
(Floor and Ceiling Strips)
Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two different ways:
– Placed against the fence
– Lying flat on the saw table.
In addition, the cut can be perfomed with or without slide move-
ment depending on the width of the profile strip/moulding.
Always make trial cuts with the mitre angle setting first on
scrap wood.
