Changing the Tool (see figures G1–G4)
 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 43 with the hex key 38 provided
and at the same time press the spindle lock 37 until it en-
gages.
– Hold the spindle lock 37 pressed and unscrew the hex
socket screw 43 in clockwise direction (left-hand thread!).
– Remove the clamping flange 44.
– 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 26.
– 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
45.
 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 44 and the screw 43.
Press the spindle lock 37 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 H)
The transport safety-lock 35 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 35.
– Pull the transport safety-lock 35 completely outward.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Securing the Machine (Transport Position)
– Release the locking lever 32, if it is locking the slide device
31 . Pull the tool arm fully forward and press the locking le-
ver backward again to lock the slide device.
– Screw adjusting screw 24 completely upward.
– To lock the saw table 8, tighten the locking knob 11.
– Press lever 3 and at the same time, push the tool arm by
handle 1 downward until the transport safety-lock 35 can
be pushed completely inward.
The tool arm is now securely locked for transport.
Clamping the Workpiece (see figure I)
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 18 and 7.
– Insert the material clamp 19 provided into one of the holes
33 intended for it.
– Loosen the wing bolt 46 and adapt the material clamp to
the workpiece. Tighten the wing bolt again.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece by turning the threaded rod
47 in clockwise direction.
Loosening the Workpiece
– To release the material clamp, turn the threaded rod 47 in
anticlockwise direction.
Extending the Saw Table (see figure J)
The flexible insertion system of the saw-table extensions 48
provides you with a wide variety of extension alternatives.
– Insert as required the two flexible saw-table extensions 48
into the openings 36 on the power tool or into the openings
49 of the mounted saw-table extensions.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
 When adjusting the cutting angle, never actuate the
On/Off switch 27. Danger of injury if the machine should
accidentally start.
Adjusting Mitre Angles (see figure K)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 48° (left side) to
48° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 11 in case it is tightened.
– Turn the saw table 8 left or right by the locking knob until
the angle indicator 13 indicates the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 11 again.
For quick and precise setting of often used mitre angles,
the saw table 8 engages at the detents of the following stand-
ard angles:
Left
0°
45° 30° 22.5° 15° 15° 22.5°
Adjusting Bevel Angles (see figures L1–L2)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the clamping lever 39.
– Pull the adjustable fence 18 completely outward.
