10.4 Working with the Parallel Stop (Fig. 17-23)
10.4.1 Adjusting the stop height (Fig. 17+18)
• The stop rail (30) of the parallel stop (14) has two
guide surfaces at different heights.
• Depending on the thickness of the material to be
cut, the stop rail (30) must be used for thick materi-
al (workpiece thickness exceeding 25 mm) and for
thin material (workpiece thickness below 25 mm).
10.4.2 Turning the stop rail (Fig. 17)
1. In order to turn the stop rail (30), irst release the
two knurled nuts(i).
2. Now the stop rail (30) can be pulled off the guide rail
(14) and pushed back over it again with the groove.
3. Tighten the knurled nuts (i) again.
4. The stop rail (30) can be attached to the left or
right of the parallel stop (14) as required. To do
this, only mount the screws from the other side of
the parallel stop (14).
10.4.3 Adjusting the cutting width (Fig. 18+19)
When wooden pieces are being cut lengthwise, the
parallel stop (14) has to be used.
1. Place the parallel stop (14) from above on the
guide rail (15) for the parallel stop (14).
2. On the guide rail (15) for the parallel stop (14)
there are 2 scales. These show the distance be-
tween the stop rail (14) and saw blade (4).
3. Select the suitable scale according to whether the
stop rail (30) has been turned around for working
with thick or thin material.
High stop rail: thick material
Low stop rail: thin material
4. Adjust the parallel stop (14) to the desired dimen-
sion on the inspection glass and use the cam le-
ver (13) to fix in place for the parallel stop (14).
10.4.4 Adjusting the stop length (Fig. 20)
In order to prevent the material being cut from jam-
ming, the stop rail (30) can be moved in the longitu-
dinal direction.
Rule of thumb: the rear end of the stop abuts on an im-
aginary line. This begins at about the middle of the saw
blade and runs towards the back at an angle of 45°.
1. Adjust the required cutting width.
2. Release the knurled nuts (i) and push the stop
rail (30) forward until the imaginary 45° line is
touched.
3. Tighten the knurled nuts (i) again.
10.4.5 Adjusting the parallel stop (Fig. 21+21a)
CAUTION: Remove the guard (2) (see 8.4).
1. Adjust the saw blade (4) to the maximum cutting
depth.
2. Adjust the parallel stop (14) such that the stop rail
(30) touches the saw blade (adjustment for thick
material, see 9.4.3).
If the parallel stop (14) is not parallel to the saw
blade(4) please proceed as follows.
1. Release the screws (k) on the parallel stop until
the parallel stop (14) can be aligned to be parallel
with the saw blade(4).
2. Retighten the screws (k).
10.5 Transverse stop (Fig. 22)
When the wood is being cut to size, the transverse
stop (31) must be extended with the stop rail (30) of
the parallel stop (14).
1. Push the transverse stop (31) into a groove (28a)
of the saw table.
2. Loosen the knurled screw (29).
3. Turn the transverse stop (31) until the desired an-
gle is set. The notch on the guide bar shows the
angle that has been set.
4. Retighten the knurled screw (29).
5. To extend the lateral end stop (31) with the end
stop rail (30), the end stop rail (30) must be re-
moved from the parallel end stop (14). Now the
stop rail has to be mounted as shown in Figure 22;
use the knurled nuts (i) for this purpose.
CAUTION: Do not push the stop rail (30) too far in
the direction of the saw blade. The distance between
the stop rail (30) and saw blade (4) should be approx-
imately 2 cm.
10.6 Adjusting the scale of the parallel stop(Abb. 23)
Check whether the display on the sight glass (32) of
the parallel stop (14) shows the correct values with re-
spect to the cutting line. If this is not the case, please
proceed as follows:
1. Release the screw (32a) with which the display
on the sight glass (32) of the parallel stop (14) is
attached. The sight glass (32) display can now be
set to the correct position.
2. Now, retighten screw (32a) on the sight glass (32).
10.7 Calibrating the laser (Fig. 13a)
If the laser (33) is no longer showing the correct
cutting line, it can be readjusted. To do this, open the
screws (z). Adjust the laser so that the laser beam
hits the cutting teeth of the saw blade (4). Retighten
the screws (z).
10.8 Using the laser
• The laser (33) allows precision cutting with your cir-
cular saw.
• The laser light is generated by a laser diode pow-
ered by two batteries. The laser light is expanded
into a line and exits through the laser aperture.
The line can then be used as a visual marker of
the cutting line during precision cutting. Follow the
laser safety instructions.
