stand in such a manner that the labelling can
be read.
– Hand-tighten both locking knobs 5.
– Place the retaining adapters 2 with the flat
side facing upward on both attachment sets
and move them apart so that the fastening
holes 15 are aligned.
– Guide two assembly-sliding plates 16 each
(perpendicular, with the flat side facing up-
ward) from the rear into the guide compart-
ment of the attachment sets 1.
Move the assembly-sliding plates apart so
that they are aligned with the fastening holes

ing adapters with the washers and hexagon
bolts from fastening kit 12.

Operation

Working Advice

Do not overload the saw stand. Always observe
the maximum carrying capacity of the saw stand
and the two table extensions.
Always hold the workpiece firmly, especially the
longer and more heavy section. After cutting
through the workpiece, the centre of gravity
may become dislocated in such an unfavourable
manner that the saw stand tips over.
If possible, always place the workpiece on one
or both workpiece supports.
Extending the Saw Stand
(see figures F1 F2)
–
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
– Place your long workpiece onto the saw table
of the power tool.
– Loosen locking knob 17 and pull the table ex-
tension 10 out to the desired clearance.
Due to locking pin 11, the table extension
can only be pulled out to the stop.
– Retighten the locking knobs again.
– Loosen locking knob 9 and adjust the height
of the workpiece support 8 so that the work-
piece rests level.
The workpiece must be positioned level on
the power tool's saw table.
– Retighten the locking knobs again.
