– Tilt adjustment piece 80 inward and turn the angle stop un-
til the thread of the stop screw faces against the adjust-
ment piece.
– Tighten the locking knob 62 again.
Adjusting the Parallel Guide
The parallel guide 8 can be positioned either left (black scale)
or right (silver scale) from the saw blade.
The mark in the lens 64 indicates the set clearance of the par-
allel guide to the saw blade on the scale 1.
Position the parallel guide on the desired side of the saw
blade (see "Mounting the Parallel Guide", page 35).
With the Saw Table not Extended
– Loosen clamping handle 47 of parallel guide 8.
Move the parallel guide until the mark in the lens 64 indi-
cates the desired clearance to the saw blade.
When the saw table is not extended, the bottom labelling of
the silver scale applies 1.
– To lock the parallel guide, press clamping handle 47 down
again.
With the Saw Table Extended (see figure F)
– Position the parallel guide on the right side of the saw
blade.
Move the parallel guide until the mark in the lens 64 indi-
cates 33 cm on the bottom scale.
To lock the parallel guide, press clamping handle 47 down
again.
– Completely pull the clamping handle 18 for the table width
enlargement upward.
– Pull table width enlargement 11 outward until clearance
indicator 65 indicates the desired clearance to the saw
blade on the top scale.
– Press clamping handle 18 downward.
The table width enlargement is now locked.
Adjusting the Auxiliary Parallel Guide
(see figure G)
When sawing narrow workpieces and bevel angles, the
auxiliary parallel guide 49 must be mounted to parallel guide
8.
The auxiliary parallel guide can be mounted left or right to par-
allel guide 8 as required.
When sawing workpieces, these can become jammed be-
tween the parallel guide and the saw blade, be caught by the
rotating saw blade, and be thrown from the machine.
Therefore, adjust the auxiliary parallel guide in such a manner
that its guiding end is located between the front saw blade
tooth and the front edge of the riving knife.
– For this, loosen all wing nuts and move the auxiliary paral-
lel guide until only the two front screws can be used for fas-
tening.
– Tighten the wing nuts again.
Adjusting the Riving Knife
The riving knife 7 prevents the saw blade 32 from becoming
jammed in the saw cut. Otherwise, there is danger of kickback
when the saw blade becomes wedged in the workpiece.
1 609 92A 467 | (16.3.18)
Always pay attention that the riving knife is properly adjusted:
– The radial clearance between saw blade and riving knife
may not exceed 5 mm (max.).
– The thickness of the riving knife must be smaller than the
cutting width and greater than the blade body thickness.
– The riving knife must always be in a line to the saw blade.
– For normal separating cuts, the riving knife must always be
in the highest possible position.
The machine is supplied with the riving knife correctly adjust-
ed.
Adjusting the height of the riving knife (see figure H)
For sawing grooves, the height of the riving knife must be ad-
justed.
 Use the machine for grooving or rebating only with an
appropriately suitable protective device (e. g. a tunnel
blade guard, featherboard).
– Loosen clamping lever 46.1 or clamping screw 46.2 until
blade guard 5.x can easily be pulled from the recess in riv-
ing knife 7.
To protect the blade guard against damage, deposit it in
the provided holding fixture 22 on the housing (also see
figure R1).
– Turn crank 20 clockwise to the stop, so that the saw blade
32 is in the highest possible position above the saw table.
– Push the riving knife 7 down to the stop.
Starting Operation
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate of
the machine.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Switching On (see figure I1)
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
– Tilt safety flap 21 upward.
– To start the operation, press the green ON button 66.
Switching Off (see figure I2)
– Press on the safety flap 21.
Power Failure
The ON/OFF switch is a so-called non-voltage switch, which
prevents the power tool from restarting after a power failure
(e. g., when the mains plug is pulled during operation).
To restart the operation of the machine afterwards, the green
ON button 66 must be pressed again.
Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
 For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
at no time can come in contact with the stops or other
machine parts.
 Use the machine for grooving or rebating only with an
appropriately suitable protective device (e. g. a tunnel
blade guard, featherboard).
 Do not use the machine for cutting slots (stopped
grooves).
