Adjusting Bevel Angles (see figure I)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from 0° to 45°.
– Loosen the lock lever 17.
– Tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 until the angle indicator 39
indicates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the tool arm in this position and retighten the clamp-
ing lever 17.
For quick and precise setting of the standard angles 0°
and 45°, end stops are provided on the housing.
– Loosen the lock lever 17.
– For this, tilt the tool arm by the handle 1 to the stop toward
the right (0°) or to the stop toward the left (45°).
– Retighten the lock lever 17 again.

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On (see figure J)
– To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 20 and keep
it pressed.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 20 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downward when pressing le-
ver 3.
– For sawing, you must additionally press lever 3 in addition
to actuating the On/Off switch 20.

Switching Off

– To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 20.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
 Always firmly tighten locking knob 9 and lock lever 17
before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade could become
jammed in the workpiece.
 For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove possibly
mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free
end.
Marking the Cutting Line (see figure K)
A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, with-
out having to open the retracting blade guard.
– For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch 21.
– Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to
the right-hand edge of the laser line.

Position of the Operator (see figure L)
 Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.

Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure M)
– For cuts without slide movement (small workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 26 in case it is tightened. Slide the
tool arm to the stop in the direction of the fence 15 and
retighten the locking screw 26.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press lever 3 and slowly guide the tool arm downward by
handle 1.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 41 (wide workpieces), loos-
en the locking screw 26 in case it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 15 far enough so that
the saw blade is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press lever 3 and slowly guide the tool arm downward by
handle 1.
– Press the tool arm in the direction of the fence 15 and saw
through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
