– 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 17.
– 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
32.
 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 31 and the screw 30.
Press the spindle lock 28 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 E)
The transport safety-lock 24 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 24.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 24 completely outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Tighten clamping lever 25 to lock the saw table 11.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, push the tool arm by
handle 1 downward until the transport safety-lock 24 can
be pushed completely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for transport.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure F)
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 6.
– Insert the material clamp 14 provided into one of the holes
27 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 33 and adapt the material clamp to
the workpiece. Tighten the wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod
34 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the material clamp, turn the threaded rod 34 in
anticlockwise direction.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle
 When adjusting the cutting angle, never actuate the
On/Off switch 19. Danger of injury if the machine should
accidentally start.
 Before sawing, always tighten the clamping lever 25.
Otherwise the saw blade could become jammed in the
workpiece.
Adjusting Mitre Angles (see figure G)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 46° (left side) to
46° (right side).
– Release clamping lever 10, if tightened.
This allows the saw table to move freely.
– Turn the saw table 11 left or right by handle 9 until the an-
gle indicator 35 indicates the desired mitre angle.
– Tighten clamping lever 25 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles,
the saw table 11 engages at the detents of the following
standard angles:
Left
0°
45° 30° 22.5° 15° 15° 22.5°
Adjusting Bevel Angles (see figure H)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the lock lever 23.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 until the angle indicator 36
indicates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retighten the clamp-
ing lever 23.
For quick and precise setting of the standard angles 0°
and 45°, end stops are provided on the housing.
– Loosen the lock lever 23.
– 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 lock lever 23 again.

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er 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.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Switching On (see figure I)
– To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 19 and keep
it pressed.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 19 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downward when pressing le-
ver 3.
– For sawing, you must additionally press lever 3 in addition
to actuating the On/Off switch 19.
Switching Off
– To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 19.
