Operation
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Transport and Working Position of the Saw Blade
Transport Position
– Turn the handwheel 19 in anticlockwise direction until the
teeth of the saw blade 32 are positioned below the saw ta-
ble 17.
For additional information on transport, see page 39.
Working Position
– Turn the crank 20 clockwise, until the teeth of the saw
blade 32 are positioned above the workpiece.
Note: Take care that the blade guard is properly positioned.
When sawing, it must always face against the workpiece.
Increasing the Size of the Saw Table
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Table Width Enlargement (see figure A)
The table width enlargement 11 enlarges the saw table 17 to-
ward the right by 435 mm (max.).
– Completely pull the clamping handle 18 for the table width
enlargement upward.
– Pull out the table width enlargement 11 to the desired
length (also see "Adjusting the Parallel Guide With the Saw
Table Extended", page 36).
– Press clamping handle 18 downward.
The table width enlargement is now locked.
Table Extension (see figure B)
The table extension 10 extends saw table 17 to the rear by
520 mm (max.).
– Loosen the locking screws 38 on the guide rods 24.
– Pull out the table extension 10 to the desired length.
– To lock the position, firmly tighten both locking screws 38.
For heavy workpieces, it may be required to support the table
extension.
Sliding Table (see figure C)
With the sliding table 2, workpieces to a maximum width of
350 mm can be sawn.
At the same time, a higher precision is achieved during saw-
ing, especially in conjunction with the angle stop 3. (see
"Sawing Mitre Angles with the Sliding Table", page 38)
– Completely pull the clamping lever 29 for the sliding table
upward.
In this manner, the sliding table can be moved both toward
the front as well as toward the rear to the stop.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of the machine
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use (see "Checking and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment",
page 38).

Adjusting Bevel Angles (Saw Blade) (see figure D)
The bevel angle can be set in a range from –1° to +47°.
– Turn locking lever 26 in anticlockwise direction.
Note: By completely loosening the locking knob, the saw
blade tilts approx. to the 30° position by means of gravity
force.
– Push or pull handwheel 19 alongside the connecting link
until the angle indicator 61 indicates the desired bevel an-
gle.
– Hold the handwheel in this position and tighten locking le-
ver 26 again.
For quick and precise setting of the standard 0° and 45°
angles, factory-set stops have been provided for.
Adjusting Mitre Angles (Angle Stop) (see figure E)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 60° (left side) to
60° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 62 in case it is tightened.
– Turn the angle stop until the angle indicator 63 indicates
the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 62 again.
For quick and precise setting of frequently used mitre an-
gles, stop screw for the 45° angles (left and right) and 0°
have been provided for on angle stop 3.
– Loosen the locking knob 62 in case it is tightened.
– Tilt the adjustment piece 80 outward.
– Turn the angle stop in such a manner that the thread of the
desired stop screw is positioned rightward to the adjust-
ment piece.
– Tilt adjustment piece 80 inward and turn the angle stop un-
til the thread of the stop screw faces against the adjust-
ment piece.
– Tighten the locking knob 62 again.
Adjusting the Parallel Guide
The parallel guide 8 can be positioned either left (black scale)
or right (silver scale) from the saw blade.
The mark in the lens 64 indicates the set clearance of the par-
allel guide to the saw blade on the scale 1.
Position the parallel guide on the desired side of the saw
blade (see "Mounting the Parallel Guide", page 34).
With the Saw Table not Extended
– Loosen clamping handle 47 of parallel guide 8.
Move the parallel guide until the mark in the lens 64 indi-
cates the desired clearance to the saw blade.
When the saw table is not extended, the bottom labelling of
the silver scale applies 1.
– To lock the parallel guide, press clamping handle 47 down
again.
With the Saw Table Extended (see figure F)
– Position the parallel guide on the right side of the saw
blade.
Move the parallel guide until the mark in the lens 64 indi-
cates 33 cm on the bottom scale.
To lock the parallel guide, press clamping handle 47 down
again.
