Position of the Operator (see figure K)
 Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
Permissible Workpiece Dimensions
Maximal workpiece sizes:
Minimal workpiece sizes
(= all workpieces that can be clamped left or right from the
saw blade with a screw clamp)
200 x 40 mm (length x width)
Cutting depth, max. (0°/0°): 95 mm
Replacing the Insert Plate (see figure L)
The red insert plate 24 can become worn after long use of the
power tool.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the chop and mitre saw working
position. (see “Working Position”, page 42)
– Unscrew screws 47 using a Phillips screwdriver and re-
move the old insert plate.
– Insert the new insert plate and and screw all screws 47 in
again.
– Set the vertical bevel angle to 0° and saw through the in-
sert plate.
– Afterwards, set the vertical bevel angle to 45° and saw into
the cut again.
This procedure achieves that the insert plate is as close as
possible to the teeth of the saw blade without touching it.

sions.
