Mounting Individual Components
– Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from
their packaging.
– Remove all packaging material from the machine and the
accessories provided.
– For easier working when mounting the supplied product
features, please observe that the machine is in the trans-
port position.
Mounting the Tilt-Protector Bar (see figure A)
Before using the power tool for the first time, the tilt-protec-
tor bar 25 must be mounted.
– Turn the power tool over and place it carefully on the blade
guard 4 and the saw table 12.
– Insert the tilt-protector bar 25 into the mounting holes pro-
vided in the base plate until the threaded holes of tilt-pro-
tector bar and base plate are flush.
– Insert the fastening screws 32 into the threaded holes and
tighten them using the hex key 24 provided.
– Turn the power tool over so that it is back in the correct po-
sition for working.
 Never remove the tilt-protector bar. Without the use of
the tilt-protector bar, the machine does not stand safely
and can tip over, especially when sawing at maximum mi-
tre/bevel angles.
Mounting to a Working Surface (see figure B)
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw fasteners to the
working surface. The mounting holes 8 serve for this pur-
pose.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's
health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Always use dust extraction.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.
The dust/chip extraction can be blocked by dust, chips or
workpiece fragments.
– Switch the machine off and pull the mains plug from the
socket outlet.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Determine the cause of the blockage and correct it.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
– Mount the dust bag 19 onto the chip ejector 22.
During sawing, the dust bag must never come into contact
with the movable machine parts.
Always empty the dust bag in good time.

External Dust Extraction
For dust extraction, a vacuum hose (size Ø 35 mm) can also
be connected to the chip ejector 22.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Changing the Tool (see figures D1–D4)
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed is
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the characteristic
data given in these operation instructions and that are tested
and marked in accordance with EN 847-1.
Use only saw blades recommended by the tool manufacturer,
and suitable for sawing the materials to be cut. This prevents
overheating of the saw teeth during sawing.
Removing the Saw Blade
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Turn the hex socket screw 33 with the hex key 24 provided
and at the same time press the spindle lock 28 until it en-
gages.
– Hold the spindle lock 28 pressed and unscrew the hex
socket screw 33 in clockwise direction (left-hand thread!).
– Remove the clamping flange 34.
– Press lever 3 and swing back the retracting blade guard 5
to the stop.
– Hold the retracting blade guard in this position and remove
the saw blade 18.
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
Mounting the Saw Blade
If required, clean all parts to be mounted prior to assembly.
– Press lever 3, swing back the retracting blade guard 5 to
the stop and hold it in this position.
– Place the new saw blade onto the interior clamping flange
35.
 When mounting the saw blade, pay attention that the
cutting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on the
saw blade) corresponds with the direction of the arrow
on the blade guard!
– Slowly guide the retracting blade guard downward again.
– Place on the clamping flange 34 and the screw 33.
Press the spindle lock 28 until it engages and tighten the
screw turning in anticlockwise direction.
Operation
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Transport Safety (see figure E)
The transport safety-lock 26 enables easier handling of the
machine when transporting to various working locations.
