Adjusting the Cutting Angle
f 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
f 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
f
Always firmly tighten locking knob 9 and
clamping lever 17 before sawing. Otherwise
the saw blade could become jammed in the
workpiece.
f 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.
