• Lock the material with the clamping devices (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Release the lock switch (3) and press the ON/OFF
switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place (21):
use the handle (1) to move the machine head (4)
steadily and with light pressure downwards until the
saw blade (6) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place (21):
pull the machine head (4) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by applying
steady and light downward pressure. Now push the
machine head (4) slowly and steadily to the very
back until the saw blade (6) has completely cut
through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head back to its upper (home) position
and release the ON/OFF button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward
stroke automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do
not release the handle (1) after completing the cut;
instead allow the machine head to move upwards
slowly whilst applying light counter pressure.
8.4 Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° - 45°
(fig. 1, 7, 8)
The sliding compound mitre saw can be used to make
crosscuts of 0° -45° to the left and 0° -45° to the right
in relation to the stop rail.
Important! For 90° crosscuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop
rail (16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) in-
wards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) amounts to a minimum of 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (16b) again.
• Loosen the locking handle (11) if tightened, pull up
the latched position lever (34) with your index finger
and use the locking handle (11) to set the rotary
table (14) to the desired angle.
• The pointer (12) on the rotary table must match the
desired angle on the scale (13) on the fixed saw
table (15).
• Re-tighten the locking handle (11) to secure the ro-
tary table (14).
• Cut as described under section 8.3.

8.5 Precision adjustment of the stop for mitre cut
45° (fig. 1, 2, 5, 9, 10)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure it using the
locking bolt (23).
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
Attention! For mitre cuts (inclined saw head), the
left side of the moveable stop rails (16a) must be
fixed in the outer position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) out-
wards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) amounts to a maximum of 8 mm.
• The right side of the moveable stop rails (16a)
must be in the inner position.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Loosen the set screw (22) and use the handle (1) to
angle the machine head (4) 45° to the left.
• 45° - position angle stop (B) between the saw blade
(6) and rotary table (14).
• Loosen the lock nut (27a) and adjust the adjustment
screw (27) until the angle between the saw blade
(6) and the rotary table (14) is precisely 45°.
• Re-tighten the lock nut (27a).
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary, loosen the pointer (19) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 45° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.6 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0° (fig. 1, 2 , 11)
The sliding compound mitre saw can be used to make
mitre cuts of 0° - 45° in relation to the work face.
Attention! For mitre cuts (inclined saw head), the left
side of the moveable stop rails (16a) must be fixed in
the outer position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) out-
wards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) amounts to a minimum of 8 mm.
• The right side of the moveable stop rails (16a)
must be in the inner position.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to the top position.
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the set screw (22) and use the handle (1)
to angle the machine head (4) to the left, until the
pointer (19) indicates the desired angle measure-
ment on the scale (18).
• Re-tighten the set screw (22).
