Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior
to assembly.
– Press lever 3, swing back the retracting
blade guard 5 to the stop and hold it in this
position.
– Place the new saw blade onto the interior
clamping flange 32.
When mounting the saw blade, pay atten-
tion that the cutting direction of the teeth
(arrow direction on the saw blade) corre-
sponds with the direction of the arrow on
the blade guard!
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard
downward again.
– Place on the clamping flange 31 and the Allen
screw 30. Press the spindle lock 28 until it
engages and tighten the Allen screw turning
in anticlockwise direction.
Operation
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Transport Safety
(see figure E)
The transport safety-lock 24 enables easier han-
dling of the machine when transporting to vari-
ous working locations.
Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
– Push the tool arm by the handle 1 down a lit-
tle in order to relieve the transport safety-
lock 24.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 24 completely
outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Tighten clamping lever 25 to lock the saw ta-
ble 11.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, swing the
tool arm by handle 1 toward the rear until the
transport safety-lock 24 can be pushed com-
pletely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for trans-
port.

Clamping the Workpiece
(see figure F)
To ensure optimum working safety, the work-
piece must always be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to
clamp.
– Press the workpiece firmly against the
fence 6.
– Insert the quick-action clamp 14 provided in-
to one of the holes 27 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 33 and adapt the quick-
action clamp to the workpiece. Tighten the
wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the
threaded rod 34 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the quick-action clamp, turn the
threaded rod 34 in anticlockwise direction.
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°
