3. Lock the set bevel tilt by tightening
the lock lever (48).
Handwheel for cutting depth
adjustment
The depth of cut can be adjusted by
turning the handwheel (49).
Lock lever for bevel angle adjust-
ment
By releasing the lock lever (50), the saw
blade can be adjusted between -1.5°
and 46.5°.

To keep the set bevel angle from chang-
ing during cutting, it must be locked
again by the lock lever (50).
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 can be in-
creased by 1.5° in both directions.
Withdraw bevel angle limitation stop


cam plate = bevel angle of saw
blade adjustable between –1.5° and
45°.

6.4 Adjusting rip fence
For use as rip fence the long fence ex-
trusion (54) must be installed. It is
mounted on the guide extrusion at the
front of the saw table.
– Position rip fence to the right of the
saw blade.
The marking in the magnifying glass
shows the set distance between the
rip fence and the saw blade on the
scale.
– Release lock lever (55) of rip fence
and shift rip fence until marking in
magnifying glass indicates the de-
sired distance to the saw blade.
Press lock lever (55) downwards to
lock.

– For ripping, the fence extrusion (54)
must be parallel with the saw blade
and locked in position by the lock le-
ver (55). Press lock lever down-

mm).
6.5 Adjusting pointer on rip
fence
1. Align rip fence with saw blade.
2. Loosen rip fence pointer fixing
screw.
3. Bring pointer on rip fence and "O" on
scale into alignment.
4. Retighten rip fence pointer fixing
screw.
Note:
To avoid stock jamming when cutting
along the rip fence:
slide rip fence all the way to the right ta-
ble edge and then back to the required
cutting width.
Note:
Adjust parallel stop (if necessary): To
prevent the workpiece from jamming be-
tween parallel stop and saw blade, the
55
parallel stop must be aligned to the saw
blade, or set to a max. of 0.3 mm open-
ing to the rear. To adjust it, release the 2
screws on the upper side of the parallel
stop and then tighten again.
Note:
Adjust clamping force of the parallel
guide (if required): If the rear clamp rear
clamping piece clamps earlier or later to
the front clamping piece, this can be ad-
justed by turning the nuts (on the rear).
Loosen the nut so that the rear clamping
