ENGLISH
3. Tilt the motorhead slowly into the
desired position.

Note:
The track arm holder engages at
positive stops at the 0°, 22.5°, and 45°
position.
4. Tighten the sawhead tilt locking
lever.
5. Cut workpiece as detailed under
"Standard cross cuts".

Compound mitre cuts

3
Note:
The compound mitre cut is a
combination of mitre and bevel cut. This
means the workpiece is cut at an angle
other than 90° against the rear guide
edge and against its surface.
A
Danger!
When cutting compound mitres the
saw blade is much more exposed
than normally - increased risk of
injury. Always keep sufficient dis-
tance to the saw blade.

Starting position:
− Sawhead fully raised.
− Cutting depth limiter set to maxi-
mum depth of cut.
− Rotating table locked in desired
position.

− Sawhead tilted to desired angle
against the workpiece's surface and
locked.
− If the sawhead is to be tilted
between 22.5 ° and 48° to the right,
swing the hinged fence down.
− Locking screw of the track arm loos-
ened.
− Track arm not extended.
Cutting the work piece:
•
Cut workpiece as detailed under
"Standard cross cuts".

Grooving

3
Note:
Together with the track arm, the
cutting depth limiter makes grooving
possible. With grooving no parting cut is
made, but the workpiece is cut to a cer-
tain depth only.
A
Risk of kickback!
When grooving it is especially impor-
tant no lateral pressure is applied to
the saw blade. Otherwise the saw-
head may be kicked up abruptly! Use
a stock clamp when grooving. Avoid
section
lateral pressure on the sawhead.
Starting position:
− Sawhead fully raised.
− Sawhead tilted to desired angle

2. Hold workpiece against the fence.
3
Note:
For the groove to be cut at the
53
desired depth across the whole work-
piece width, a suitable spacer strip
needs to be placed between workpiece
and fence.
3. Push the safety lock to the side and
press and hold the ON/OFF switch.
4. Slowly swing the sawhead fully
down, holding the handle firmly.
When sawing, exert only moderate
pressure to prevent the motor speed
to drop too much.
5. When sawing, pull sawhead forward
(towards the operator).
6. Groove workpiece in a single pass.
7. Release the ON/OFF switch and let
the sawhead slowly return to its
upper starting position.

Auxiliary Fence

3
Note:
Use the auxiliary fence when
making vertical cuts in work pieces
higher than the saw's fence. Bevel cuts
are only possible without the auxiliary
fence in place.
Installing the auxiliary fence:
Put washers on carriage bolts (54) .
1.
Slide carriage bolts (54) into fence
2.
extrusions.
