• Adjust the depth of cut to 0 mm to access the
clamping screws of the riving knife.
• Loosen the screws (19) and pull out the riving knife
to its maximum length.
• Adjust the clearance and tighten the screw.
Adjusting the cutting line marks (fi g. F)
The marks for bevel cuts (12) and for straight cuts (13)
have two grooves each:
- narrow groove: for centring standard steel blades
- wider groove: for centring TCT blades
To adjust, proceed as follows:
• With the blade locked at 90°, make a trial cut of
approx. 400 mm.
• Withdraw the saw slightly.
• Slacken the screw (20) and align the cut (21) and the
mark (13).
