Changing the Tool (see figures E1–E4)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed is
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic
data given in these operation instructions and that are tested
and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.
Use only saw blades recommended by the tool manufacturer
and suitable for sawing the materials to be cut.
Removing the Saw Blade
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Turn the hex socket screw 33 with the hex key 25 provided
while at the same time pressing the spindle lock 30 until it
engages.
– Hold the spindle lock 30 pressed and unscrew the hex
socket screw 33 in clockwise direction (left-hand thread!).
– Remove the clamping flange 34.
– Press lever 3 and swing back the retracting blade guard 5
to the stop.
– Hold the retracting blade guard in this position and remove
the saw blade 36.
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior to assembly.
– Press lever 3, swing back the retracting blade guard 5 to
the stop and hold it in this position.
– Place the new saw blade onto the interior clamping flange
35.
When mounting the saw blade, pay attention that the
cutting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the
saw blade) corresponds with the direction of the arrow
on the blade guard!
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
– Place on the clamping flange 34 and the screw 33.
Press the spindle lock 30 until it engages and tighten the
screw turning in anticlockwise direction.
Operation
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Transport Safety (see figure F)
The transport safety-lock 29 enables easier handling of the
machine when transporting to various working locations.
Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
– Push the tool arm by the handle 1 down a little in order to
relieve the transport safety-lock 29.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 29 completely outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Loosen the locking screw 26 if tightened. Pull the tool arm
completely to the front and tighten the locking screw
again.
– Screw the depth stop 18 completely to the top. (see "Ad-
justing the Depth Stop", page 27)
– To lock the saw table 8, tighten the locking knob 9.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, push the tool arm by
handle 1 downward until the transport safety-lock 29 can
be pushed completely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for transport.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure G)
To ensure optimum working safety, the workpiece must al-
ways be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp.
– Press the workpiece firmly against the fence 15.
– Insert the material clamp 16 provided into one of the holes
23 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 37 and adapt the material clamp to
the workpiece. Tighten the wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod
38 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the material clamp, turn the threaded rod 38 in
anticlockwise direction.
Extending the Saw Table (see figure H)
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
The flexible saw-table extension plug-in system 14 enables a
variety of extension possibilities.
– Insert the saw-table extension 14 into the openings 28 of
the saw-table base or into the openings 32 of the second
saw-table extension.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
When adjusting the cutting angle, never actuate the
On/Off switch 20. Danger of injury if the machine should
accidentally start.
Adjusting Mitre Angles
The 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 tightened.
– Turn the saw table 8 left or right by the locking knob until
the angle indicator 12 indicates the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 9 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles,
the saw table 8 engages at the detents of the following stand-
ard angles:
