LASER BEAM
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM
LASER CLASS 2
EN 60825-1:2014
P<1mW, λ=650nm
7.4 Setting the angle of inclination
(When used as chop and mitre saw)
After loosening the locking lever (39), the saw
can be infinitely inclined between 0° and 45° to
the left of the vertical position (38).
Press the locking button (40) during the
adjustment process in order to also set angles up
to 47° to the left of the vertical/ up to 2° to the right
of the vertical.
Danger!
In order for the angle of inclination not to change
when cutting, the locking lever (39) of the swivel
arm has to be tightened.

7.5 Turntable
(When used as chop and mitre saw)
After loosening the locking handle (32) and
activating the safety catch (31), the turntable can
be turned by 52° to the left or by 52° to the right
for mitre cuts. In this manner the cutting angle to
the support edge of the workpiece is adjusted.
If the safety catch (31) is raised, the turntable
ratchets to the angles 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and
45°. If the safety catch (31) is pushed downwards
all the way, the locking function is deactivated.
Danger!
In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking handle (32) of the turntable has
to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
7.6 Parallel guide
(When used as chop and mitre saw)
The parallel guide/ ripping fence (27) supports
the workpiece on both sides of the saw cut.
The parallel guide/ ripping fence (27) prevents
that the workpiece can be moved during the
cutting process. During operation, the parallel
guide/ ripping fence always has to be installed.
The adjustable guide (23) at the parallel guide/
ripping fence has to be moved for inclined cuts
after loosening the set screw (24).
Ensure that the adjustable stop (23) has been
adjusted correctly and that the workpiece is
supported as well as possible without touching
the blade or retractable blade guard. Lock using
the set screw (24).
7.7 Ripping fence
(When used as table saw)
The ripping fence (7) is mounted on the upper
table (13). The locking screw must face forwards.
The ripping fence can be removed and changed
after the locking screw has been loosened.
7.8 Upper table
(When used as table saw)
The height of the upper table (13) can be
adjusted in order to change the cutting depth.

8. Commissioning

8.1 Connect chip sack / chip and dust
extraction unit
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech, oak,
ash) can cause cancer when inhaled.
– Only use a suitable dust extraction unit or
installed dust sack.
(16)
– In addition, use a dust mask, as not all saw dust
is collected or extracted.
– Regularly empty the dust sack. Wear a dust
mask while emptying the sack.
If you operate the device with the supplied dust
sack:
 Attach the dust sack (2) to the chip extraction
adapter nozzle (1). Ensure that the closure (3)
of the dust sack is closed.
If you connect the device to a dust extraction unit:
 Use a suitable adapter to connect it to the chip
extraction adapter nozzle (see chapter 13.

"Accessories").

 Ensure that the dust extraction unit meets the
requirements stated in chapter 17. "Technical
Specifications".
 Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
8.2 Installing the workpiece clamping
device
(When used as chop and mitre saw)
The workpiece clamping device (22) can be
installed in two positions:
– For wide workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
rear drilling (43) of the table.
– For narrow workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
front drilling (44) of the table.
8.3 Power-supply connection
Danger! High voltage
Operate machine only on a power source meeting
the following requirements (see also chapter 17.

"Technical Specifications"):

– Mains voltage and system frequency must
conform to the voltage and frequency shown on
the machine´s rating label;
– fuse protection by a residual current operated
device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity;
– outlets properly installed, earthed or grounded,
and tested.
 Position power supply cable so it does not
interfere with the work and is not damaged.
 Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables with
sufficient lead cross-section (3 × 1.5 mm
 Use extension cables for outdoor areas. When
working outdoors, only use the correspondingly
marked extension cable approved for this
purpose.
 Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the on/off
switch is switched off when inserting the plug in
the socket.
 Operate the device in dry surroundings only.
 Protect power supply cable from heat, aggressive
liquids and sharp edges.
 Do not pull on power supply cable to unplug.
9. Operation / Use as chop and
mitre saw
9.1 Safety devices
Retractable blade guard (26)
The retractable blade guard protects against
unintentional contact with the saw blade and from
chips flying about.
The retractable blade guard must always return to
its initial position automatically: If the saw head is
raised, the blade must be covered all round.
Safety lock (8)
The retractable blade guard opens and the saw
can be lowered only when the safety lock is
activated.
Parallel guide/ ripping fence (27)
The parallel guide/ ripping fence (27) supports
the workpiece on both sides of the saw cut.
The parallel guide/ ripping fence (27) prevents
that the workpiece can be moved during the
cutting process. During operation, the parallel
guide/ ripping fence always has to be installed.
The adjustable guide (23) at the parallel guide/
ripping fence has to be moved for inclined cuts
after loosening the set screw (24).
Ensure that the adjustable stop (23) has been
adjusted correctly and that the workpiece is
supported as well as possible without touching
the blade or retractable blade guard. Lock using
the set screw (24).
9.2 Set up
Danger!
Before setting up the device: Switch off device,
unplug, wait until the device has come to a stop.
Danger of crushing!
When adjusting the height of the upper table (13),
do not hold the area between the upper table and
saw head!
Danger!
When loosening the locking screws (15) the
upper table (13) may suddenly move up. Hold the
upper table tight with one hand.
1. Loosen both locking screws (15). The upper
table (13) is pushed up by spring force or
move the upper table to its uppermost
position. Retighten both locking screws (15).
