Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel stop)
only as far as the front edge of the saw blade
guard (11).
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (Fig. 47 / Item 12).
The off-cut piece remains on the saw bench until
the blade is back in its position of rest.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand, etc.)
Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 48)
Be sure to use a push stick (Fig. 48 / Item 9) when
making longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than
120 mm in width. (see also 7.3.3 C)
Cutting very narrow workpieces (Fig. 49)
Be sure to use a push block when making longitudinal
cuts in very narrow workpieces with a width of 30 mm
and less. (see also 7.3.3 D)
B Making angular cuts (Fig. 50)
Angle cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (Fig. 50 / Item 14).
Set the blade (4) to the desired angle. To do this,
release the angle adjustment lever (Fig. 40 / Item
3) and move the machine head (17) to the left
until the required angle is reached on the scale
(Fig. 40 / Item 34) (see also 7.2.3/C). Then
tighten the angle adjustment lever again.
Adjust the parallel stop (Fig. 50 / Item 14) to suit
the workpiece width and height. (see also 7.3.2).
Complete the cut to suit the workpiece width.
(See A)
C Making cross cuts (Fig. 51/52)
Slide the cross stop (Fig. 52 / Item 52) into the
groove (Fig. 52 / Item 47) in the saw bench and
set it to the required angle. To do this, undo the
toggle screw (Fig. 51 / Item 48) and adjust it so
that the pointer (Fig. 51 / Item 49) points to the
required angle on the scale (Fig. 51 / Item 50).
Tighten the toggle screw (Fig. 51 / Pos. 48) again.
The cross stop can be moved sideways to suit
the application. To do this, undo the two knurled
nuts (Fig. 51 / Item 51), move the stop and then
tighten the knurled nuts again. Important. The
cross stop may project into the saw blade in
certain circumstances. Maintain a minimum
distance of 20 mm from the saw blade at all
times.
If necessary, use the aluminum section of the
parallel stop (14B).
Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop.
Switch on the saw (see also 7.1)
When you have switched on the saw, wait until

the saw blade (4) has reached maximum speed.
Push the cross stop (Fig. 52 / Item 52) and the
workpiece toward the blade (4) in order to make
the cut. Important. Always hold the part of the
workpiece that is controlled by the cross
stop. Never hold the part which is to be cut
off.
Push the cross stop (Fig. 52 / Item 52) forward
until the workpiece is cut all the way through.
Switch off the saw again.
Do not remove the off-cut until the blade has
stopped rotating.
8. Change the saw blade, maintenance
and final adjustment
Always pull out the power plug before carrying
out maintenance and setting work.

8.1 General maintenance work

Keep the ventilation slots in the machine clear
and clean at all times.
Remove dust and dirt regularly from the machine.
Cleaning is best carried out with compressed air
or a cloth.
Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
Do not use caustic products to clean the plastic.
8.2 Saw blade change (Fig. 51 – 57)
Set the saw to crosscut and miter saw mode (see
7.2.1).
Pull out the locking pin (Fig. 31 / Item 25) for
height adjustment and turn it through 90° to the
left. Slowly lower the machine head (17) until it
engages.
Pull the rubber stopper (Fig. 53 / Item 53) out of
the belt housing (Fig. 53). Hold the saw shaft with
the Allen key (Fig. 54).
Undo the flange screw on the saw blade side
using the Allen key. Important – left-handed
thread! (Fig. 55)
Remove the flange screw (Fig. 56 / Item 54) and
the external flange (Fig. 57 / Item 55).
Remove the chip box. (see 7.3.6)
Take the saw blade (Fig. 58 / Item 4) off the saw
shaft (Fig. 59 / Item 56) from underneath and
remove it from the bottom. To do this, hold the
saw blade under the saw bench (wear gloves),
allow the saw blade to touch the saw blade guard
at the front and pull it out downwards at the rear
(Fig. 58).
Thoroughly clean the saw shaft (Fig. 59 / Item
56), external flange (Fig. 57 / Item 55) and flange
screw (Fig. 56 / Item 54).
