Mounting the Parallel Guide
(see figures g1–g3)
The parallel guide 8 can be positioned either left
or right from the saw blade.
– Screw the clamping knob 46 into the thread
intended for this purpose at the front of the
parallel fence.
– Firstly, place the parallel fence onto the rear
of the saw table. Now, position the parallel
fence in guide groove 15.
The parallel fence can now be moved to any
position.
– To lock the parallel guide, press the clamping
knob 46 down.
When sawing narrow workpieces and for bevel
cuts, the auxiliary parallel fence (aluminium) 18
must be mounted to parallel fence 8.
In this case, the auxiliary parallel fence (plastic)
49 can be mounted to the angle stop.
– Insert the profile rail 47 into the groove on
the short side of the auxiliary parallel fence
18.
– Position the profile rail 8 in front of the par-
allel fence in such a manner that the holes of
both parts are in alignment.
– Insert the fastening knobs 48 through the lat-
eral holes in the parallel fence and tighten
them.
When sawing high, narrow workpieces, the
auxiliary parallel fence (aluminium) 18 must be
mounted directly to parallel fence 8.
– Fasten the auxiliary parallel fence 18 with the
2 square nuts from fastening kit 45 and the
fastening knobs 48 directly to the parallel
fence 8.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by
dust, chips or workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and cor-
rect it.
External Dust Extraction (see figure h)
– Connect a vacuum hose to the sawdust ejec-
tor 32.
– Additionally, a dust extraction system can be
connected to vacuum connection 5 to in-
crease the extraction performance.
For this, remove the cap from the vacuum
connection.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-
rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
