position, lift the mitre saw by the handle (2 - Fig. 4).
TRANSPORT
If the machine must be transported, carry it by the han-
dle (2 - Fig. 4) and place it in the original packaging in
which it was supplied. In the process, make sure that it
is correctly positioned in the package (see arrows on the
package).
If possible, the load should be fixed with ropes or secur-
ing belts in order to prevent shifting during the transport
or parts of the load from falling down.
POSITIONING/WORK STATION
Position the machine on a work bench or on a flat base
so that the machine is supported as stably as possible.
When working with the machine, ergonomic factors must
be considered; the ideal height of the work table or the
base is reached when the base surface or the upper
work surface is 90 to 95 cm above the ground. The posi-
tioning of the machine must provide for at least 80 cm of
clearance in all directions and in order to allow for clean-
ing and repair work as well as necessary adjustments in
observance of safety conditions and with sufficient room
to manoeuvre.
CAUTION: Position the machine in a zone which is
suitable in respect to the environmental conditions and
lighting. Never forget that the general environmental con-
ditions play an extremely important role in accident pre-
vention.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure that the socket is in a good condition. We
would like to remind you that the power supply must be
connected to a magnetic-thermal circuit breaker which
protects all lines from short-circuits and overloading.
m Area of application
Intended application possibilities
The machine cuts:
• Wood and materials similar to wood
• Plastic
Unintended application possibilities
The machine is not suitable for:
• Ferritic materials, steel and cast iron, as well as other
material types which are not listed, particularly food.
• Mitre saw without guard.
• Materials larger than the specified cutting data:
90°/90° / 120 x 60 mm
90°/45° 80 x 60 mm
45°/90° 120 x 35 mm
45°/45° 80 x 35 mm
Settings
CROSS-CUTTING
ATTENTION: Before carrying out the following adjust-
ments, please check whether the motor of the machine
is switched off.
Pivoting the table plate (Fig. 2)
The mitre saw can be pivoted left and right with the rota-
ry table. Exact angle adjustment is possible on the basis
of the scale. The angle can be precisely and quickly ad-
justed from 0° to 45° with locking positions at 15°, 22.5°
and 30°.
To pivot the rotary table, loosen the set screw (21) and
rotate the unit using the handle (20) until the desired an-
gle is reached. Then secure it with the set screw (21).
Tilt of the saw unit (Fig. 3)
The saw unit can be tilted at an angle of up to 45°.
Loosen the handle (23) on the rear side of the machine
and tilt the unit to the desired angle position according to
the scale. The angle can be set on the basis of the scale
(24) using the pointer (25). Then the handle must be re-
tightened.
Working instructions
After you have carried out all the tasks described above,
you can begin working.
ATTENTION: Always keep your hands away from the
cutting zone and never attempt to reach in while cutting.
FIXING A WORKPIECE
Clamp the work piece on the work table with the work-
piece clamp (10 - Fig 1) in order to fix it in place.
Cross-cutting (Fig. 4)
• Loosen the locking knob (26).
• Lift the saw unit by the handle (2) until it locks in place
in the top position
• Press the workpiece evenly on the stop strips (27);
make sure that you hand remains outside the cutting
area of the saw blade.
• With your right hand on the handle (2), press the lock-
ing lever (3) so that the unit can also be pivoted down-
ward.
• The motor starts when the start button (1) is pressed.
• Slowly bring the saw blade down to the workpiece and
cut through it with moderate pressure.
• Pivot the unit back to the upper starting position into
it locks in place.
• Release the handle (2) so that the motor switches off.
Saw blade replacement (Fig. 5)
• Pull out the mains plug.
• Place the saw unit in „cross-cutting“ position
• Unlock the moving saw blade guard (6) by pressing
the lock (3 - Fig. 1); in the process, raise the saw blade
guard so that the saw blade is free.
• Actuate the spindle lock (22 - Fig. 3).
• Loosen the saw blade fastening screw (28) - (
Atten-
tion: left-handed thread).
• Remove the screw (28) and saw blade flange (29).
• Carefully remove the saw blade (risk of injury from the
saw blade teeth).
• Place a new saw blade on the inner saw blade flange.
In the process, observe the rotational direction of the
saw blade.
