Adjusting the Cutting Angle

When adjusting the cutting angle, never ac-
tuate 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 be-
come jammed in the workpiece.
Adjusting Horizontal Mitre Angles
(see figure G)
The horizontal mitre angle can be set in the
range from 46° (left side) to 46° (right side).
– Release clamping lever 25, if tightened.
This allows the saw table to move freely.
– Turn the saw table 11 left or right by handle
9 until the angle indicator 35 indicates the
desired mitre angle.
– Tighten clamping lever 25 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mi-
tre angles, the saw table 11 engages at the de-
tents of the following standard angles:
–45°/ –30°/ –22,5°/ –15°/
0°/ 15°/ 22,5°/ 30°/ 45°
Adjusting Vertical Bevel Angles
(see figure H)
The vertical bevel angle can be set in the range
from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the clamping lever 23.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 until the an-
gle indicator 36 indicates the desired bevel
angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retight-
en the clamping handle 23.
For quick and precise setting of the standard
angles 0° und 45°, end stops are provided on
the housing.
– Loosen the clamping 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 clamping lever 23 again.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure J)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the
saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of
the workpiece for sawing, without having to
open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the
