• Cut as described in section 8.3.
8.7 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45°
(fig. 2, 4, 12)
The sliding compound mitre saw can be used to make
mitre cuts to the left of 0°- 45° in relation to the work
face and, at the same time, 0° - 45° to the left or 0°
- 45° to the right in relation to the stop rail (double
mitre cut).
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.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Re-tighten the set screw (16b).
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Fold the locking handle (11) upwards to loosen the
rotary table (14).
• Set the rotary table (14) to the desired angle (refer
also to point 8.4 in this regard).
• Fold the locking handle (11) downwards to secure
the rotary table (14).
• Undo the set screw (22).
• Use the handle (1) to tilt the machine head (4) to the
left until it coincides with the required angle value
(in this connection see also section 8.6).
• Re-tighten the set screw (22).
• Cut as described under section 8.3.
8.8 Limiting the cutting depth (fig. 3, 13)
• The cutting depth can be infinitely adjusted using
the screw (24). To do this loosen the knurled nut
(24a) on the screw (24). Turn the screw (24) in or
out to set the required cutting depth. Then re-tight-
en the knurled nut (24a) on the screw (24).
• Check the setting by completing a test cut.
8.9 Chip collection bag (fig. 1, 20)
The saw is equipped with a debris bag (17) for saw-
dust and chips.
Attention! The chip collection bag may only be used
when cutting wood and wood-like materials!
Squeeze together the metal ring on the dust bag and
attach it to the outlet opening in the motor area.
The debris bag (17) can be emptied by means of a
zipper at the bottom.
Connection to an external dust extractor
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose can also be con-
nected to the dust extraction spout.
• Connect the vacuum hose with the dust extraction
spout.
• The industrial vacuum cleaner must be suitable for
the material being worked.
• When vacuuming dust that is especially detrimen-
tal to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum
cleaner.
8.10 Changing the saw blade (fig. 1, 2 14-16)
Remove the power plug!
Important!
m Always use the correct saw blade for the ma-
terial to be sawn
m Only use saw blades that comply with the ma-
chine specifications regarding the bore diameter
and the maximum kerf of the saw blade
m Only use saw blades which marked with a
speed equal or higher than the machine speci-
fications.
Wear safety gloves when changing the saw blade.
Risk of injury!
• Swing the machine head (4) upwards and lock with
the locking bolt (23).
• Fold the saw blade guard (5) upwards.
• Use one hand to insert the Allen key (C) in the
flange screw (28).
• Firmly press the saw shaft lock (30) and slowly ro-
tate the flange screw (28) in clockwise direction.
The saw shaft lock (30) engages after no more than
one rotation.
• Now, using a little more force, slacken the flange
screw (29) in the clockwise direction.
• Turn the flange screw (28) right out and remove the
outer flange (29).
• Take the blade (6) off the inner flange (31) and pull
out downwards.
• Carefully clean the flange screw (28), outer flange
(29) and inner flange (31).
• Fit and fasten the new saw blade (6) in reverse or-
der.
• Important! The cutting angle of the teeth, in other
words the direction of rotation of the saw blade (6)
must coincide with the direction of the arrow on the
housing.
• Before continuing your work make sure that all
safety devices are in good working condition.
• Important! Every time that you change the saw
blade (6), check to see that it spins freely in the ta-
ble insert (10) in both perpendicular and 45° angle
settings.
• Important! The work to change and align the saw
blade (6) must be carried out correctly.
8.11 Using the laser (fig. 17)
• To switch on: Press the ON/OFF switch laser (33)
1x. A laser line is projected onto the material you
wish to process, providing an exact guide for the
cut.
