Vice assembly
Always secure work pieces to be handled. Do not cut
work pieces that cannot be secured with the vice
assembly.
The vice assembly can be positioned to the left or right of
the saw head.
Insert the vice assembly (20) at the right or left into the
hole provided.
Press the work piece firmly against the work piece stop
(11).
To fix the work piece turn the machine knob (22) of the
work piece clamping device clockwisely.
Adjusting the saw
Before setting operations:
 switch off device
 wait for standstill of the saw blade
 pull out power plug
If required, loosen the incline angle locking knob (25) and
adjust the saw head to its vertical position.
Retighten the incline angle locking knob.
Push the saw head to the rear and tighten the locking
screw of the pulling device (6).
Push the handle for the rotary table (7) down and swivel
the saw head to the 0° position.
Press the saw head down (transport position) and secure it
using the transport locking pin (5).
Setting the work piece stop

To adjust a work piece stop that has shifted during
transport, proceed as follows:
Check the angle between saw blade (36) and work piece
stop (11) using a square (A, not supplied).
Loosen the set screws (2 on each side) for the work piece
stop (12) if the work piece stop needs to be adjusted
Align the work piece stop along the square and tighten the
locking screw again.
Adjusting the incline of the saw head

Also check the angle of the saw head to the rotary table.
Checking the 90° angle:
Check the angle using a square (A, not supplied).
Proceed as follows if the angle is not exactly 90°:
 Loosen the locking nut (29) for the set screw (28).
 Loosen the incline angle locking knob (25).
 Adjust the set screw (28) by turning it clockwisely or
counterclockwisely so that the saw blade comes in
contact with the square (90°).
 Retighten the locking nut (29) for the set screw (28).
If necessary, loosen the screw for the indicator (27) and
shift it until it points to "0". Tighten the screw again.
16
Checking the 45° angle:
Incline the saw head by 45° to the left and check the angle
using a protractor (B, not supplied).
Proceed as follows if the angle is not exactly 45°:
 Loosen the locking nut (31) for the set screw (30).
 Loosen the incline angle locking knob (25).
 Adjust the set screw (30) by turning it clockwisely or
counterclockwisely so that the saw blade comes in
contact with the protractor ( 45°).
 Retighten the locking nut (31) for the set screw (28).
 If necessary, loosen the screw for the indicator (27) and
shift it until it points to "45". Tighten the screw again.
Incline the saw head by 45° to the right and check the
angle using a protractor (B, not supplied).

For this, remove the RH additional stop (11A) and pull
out the anti-swivel device (25A) beforehand.
Proceed as follows if the angle is not exactly 45°:
 Loosen the locking nut (42) for the set screw (41).
 Loosen the incline angle locking knob (25).
 Adjust the set screw (41) by turning it clockwisely or
counterclockwisely so that the saw blade comes in
contact with the protractor ( 45°).
 Retighten the locking nut (42) for the set screw (28).
 If necessary, loosen the screw for the indicator (27) and
shift it until it points to "45". Tighten the screw again.
Adjusting the saw blade depth
You must set the max. saw blade depth to ensure that
the saw blade does not touch the bottom of the saw
blade groove.
Carefully turn the saw blade by hand to ensure that it turns
freely.
Press the saw head down (transport position) and secure
it using the transport locking pin (5).
The saw blade depth is correctly adjusted when the saw
blade is approx. 5 mm below the saw table.
To adjust the correct saw blade depth:
Loosen the locking nut (33) for the set screw (32).
The saw head rises when you turn the set screw (32)

counterclockwisely.
 The saw head lowers when you turn the set screw
(32) clockwisely.
Retighten the locking nut (33) for the set screw (32).
Adjusting the laser
The laser beam can become misaligned, e.g. through vibrations.
Check therefore prior to cutting if the laser correctly indicates the
cut line.
1. Set the saw as described in "Straight cuts".
2. Make a trial cut.
Switch on the laser and compare the laser line with the cut
line.
In case of deviations, loosen the screws (A) and turn the
laser head until the beam is positioned vertically.
