38
To keep the set bevel tilt from changing
during cutting, it must be locked again by
the lock lever (38).
Release lever for bevel tilt stop
The blade tilt setting has end stops at 0°
and 45°. For special bevel cuts (under-
cutting) the bevel angle
increased by 1.5° in both directions.
•
Pull release lever (39) out and turn
into vertical position:
the blade bevel can now be set from
-1.5° to 46.5°.
•
Set release lever (39) horizontal and
let engage in housing:
blade bevel is now adjustable from
0° to 45°.

Rip fence (for ripping):
40
For use as rip fence the long fence
extrusion (40) must be installed. It is
mounted on the guide extrusion at the
front of the saw table.
− For ripping the fence extrusion (40)
must be parallel with the saw blade
18
and locked in position by lock lever
(41).
− Wing nuts (42) for attaching the
fence extrusion. After loosening the
two wing nuts (42), the fence extru-
sion can be removed and shifted:
Small edge:
− for cutting thin stock;
can be
− when the saw blade is tilted.
Wide edge:
− for cutting thick stock (max. 77
mm).

Note:
To avoid stock jamming when
cutting along the rip fence:
slide rip fence all the way to the right
table edge and then back to the required
cutting width.
Mitre fence
The mitre fence (44) is inserted into the
table slot from the table's front edge.
For mitre cuts the mitre fence turns to
60° in both directions.
41
For 45° and 90° miters positive stops are
provided.
To set a mitre angle: loosen locking han-
dle (43) by turning it counter-clockwise.
A Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre
fence the handle must be firmly tight-
ened.
The auxiliary fence extrusion can be
taken off and reversed after loosening
knurled nut (45).
Table side extension
The table side extension extents the
supporting surface, providing safe sup-
port for larger workpieces.

always be firmly tightened.
Scale reading when using the rip
fence
On which scale the cutting width is read
depends on how the fence extrusion is
installed on the rip fence:
For small cutting widths the table side
extension is not extended. The cuttings
width is read on the respective right-
hand scale at the rip fence's pointer:
− Wide edge: cutting width from 0 to
− Small edge: cutting width from 0 to
43
If larger stock is to be cut the table side
extension needs to be extended.

Move rip fence to the end position of
the respective right-hand scale.
Pull out table side extension and set
to desired cutting width. The cut-
tings width is read on the respective
left-hand scale at the scale's pointer.
