– Turn the clamping nut (49) using the ring spanner (9)
while pulling the spindle locking lever (50) until it en-
gages.
– Tighten the clamping nut by turning it clockwise.
– Place the table insert (25) over the riving knife (4) and
into the tool chamber. Turn the locking screw (38) as far
as it will go in the "Lock" direction using the tip of the ring
spanner (9).
– Refit the protective cover (3) .
Operation
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Transport position and work position of the saw
blade
Transport position
– Remove the protective cover (3), remove the table insert
(25) and place the riving knife (4) in the bottom position.
Reinsert the table insert (25).
– Turn the crank (15) anticlockwise until the teeth of the
saw blade (26) lie below the saw table (23).
– Push the saw table expansion (6) in fully.
Push the clamping handle (13) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Work position
– Position the riving knife (4) in the top position directly
over the centre of the saw blade, insert the table insert
(25) and fit the protective cover (3).
– Turn the crank (15) clockwise until the top teeth of the
saw blade (26) are approx. 3−6 mm above the work-
piece.
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure A)
The saw table expansion (6) increases the width of the saw
table (23) on the right.
– Pull the clamping handle (13) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (6) to the required
length.
– Push the clamping handle (13) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Setting mitre and bevel angles
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.

Setting Bevel Angles (saw blade) (see figure B)
The bevel angle can be set between 0° and 45°.
– Loosen the locking lever (20) by turning it anticlockwise.
Note: When the locking lever is fully loosened, gravity
causes the saw blade to tilt into a position that corresponds
to approximately 30°.
– Pull or push the hand wheel (14) along the slotted link un-
til the angle indicator (21) shows the required bevel
angle.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (20).
For quick and precise setting of the standard bevel
angles of 0° and 45°, there are pre-set stops ((22)),((18)).
Setting mitre angles (angle guide) (see figure C)
The mitre angle can be set between 30° (left-hand side) and
30° (right-hand side).
– Loosen the locking knob (54) if it is tightened.
– Turn the angle guide until the angle indicator (55) shows
the required mitre angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (54).
Adjusting the parallel guide
The parallel guide (5) can be positioned on either the left
(black scale) or the right (silver scale) of the saw blade. The
marking in the scale display (56) shows the set distance
between the parallel guide and the saw blade on the
scale (1).
Position the parallel guide on the required side of the saw
blade (see "Fitting the parallel guide (see figure e)",
page 38).
Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is not pulled out
– Loosen the clamping handle (41) of the parallel
guide (5). Move the parallel guide until the marking in the
scale display (56) indicates the required distance from
the saw blade.
When the saw table is not pulled out, the lower marking
on the silver scale (1) applies.
– To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (41) back
down.
Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is pulled out (see figure D)
– Position the parallel guide on the right of the saw blade.
Move the parallel guide until the marking in the scale
display (56) shows 29 cm on the lower scale.
To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (41) back
down.
– Pull the clamping handle (13) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (6) until the spacing
indicator (57) shows the required distance from the saw
blade on the upper scale.
– Push the clamping handle (13) down.
This fixes the saw table expansion in place.
