Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
– Mount the dust bag 19 onto the chip ejector 22.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come into contact
with the movable machine parts.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.
External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size Ø 35 mm) can also
be connected to the chip ejector 22.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Changing the Tool (see figures D1–D4)
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed is
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic
data given in these operation instructions and that are tested
and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.
Use only saw blades recommended by the tool manufacturer,
and suitable for sawing the materials to be cut. This prevents
overheating of the saw teeth during sawing.
Removing the Saw Blade
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Turn the hex socket screw 33 with the hex key 24 provided
and at the same time press the spindle lock 28 until it en-
gages.
– Hold the spindle lock 28 pressed and unscrew the hex
socket screw 33 in clockwise direction (left-hand thread!).
– Remove the clamping flange 34.
– Press lever 3 and swing back the retracting blade guard 5
to the stop.
– Hold the retracting blade guard in this position and remove
the saw blade 18.
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
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
35.
 When mounting the saw blade, pay attention that the
cutting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the
saw blade) corresponds with the direction of the arrow
on the blade guard!
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
– Place on the clamping flange 34 and the screw 33.
Press the spindle lock 28 until it engages and tighten the
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 26 enables easier handling of the
machine when transporting to various working locations.
Releasing the Machine (Working Position)
– Push the tool arm by the handle 1 down a little in order to
relieve the transport safety-lock 26.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 26 completely outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– To lock the saw table 12, tighten the locking knob 9.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, push the tool arm by
handle 1 downward until the transport safety-lock 26 can
be pushed completely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for transport.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure F)
To ensure optimum working safety, the workpiece must al-
ways be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp.
– Press the workpiece firmly against the fences 14 and 6.
– Insert the material clamp 27 provided into one of the holes
23 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 36 and adapt the material clamp to
the workpiece. Tighten the wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod
37 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the material clamp, turn the threaded rod 37 in
anticlockwise direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
 When adjusting the cutting angle, never actuate the
On/Off switch 21. Danger of injury if the machine should
accidentally start.
Adjusting Mitre Angles (see figure G)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 48° (left side) to
48° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 9 in case it is tightened.
This allows the saw table to move freely.
– Turn the saw table 12 left or right by the locking knob until
the angle indicator 10 indicates the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 9 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles,
the saw table 12 engages at the detents of the following
standard angles:
Left
0°
45° 30° 22.5° 15°
– Loosen the locking knob 9 in case it is tightened.
