3. Screw flange nuts (59) on the hex.
head screws, but do not tighten yet.
4. When all mounting brackets are in-
stalled on the legs the brackets can
be anchored to the floor.
5. To compensate the unevenness of
the floor move the brackets up or
28
down as required. If necessary, loo-
sen flange nuts to do so.
6. When the machine stands firm and
secure, tighten all flange nuts hand-
tight.
7.5 Installing the table exten-

When tightening the screws, bear in
mind the following:
– The machine must be secure and
horizontal after the screws have

– Align table extension by means of
the bolted connection with the saw
table: the table extension's top must
be parallel with and at the same
height as the saw table's top.

– air speed at dust extraction port of
saw  20 m/s.
Also follow the operating instructions
supplied with the dust collector!
The ports for dust extraction are found
on the saw blade enclosure and the
