E N G L I S H
• Loosen the bolts (63) which allows the riving knife to move up and
down (fi g. M2).
• Slide the knife either up or down until the correct position is attained.
• Retighten the bolts (63) fi rmly.
Mounting and adjusting the parallel fence (fi g. N1 - N4)
• Slide the bracket (64) on from the right (fi g. N1). The clamping plate
engages behind the front edge of the table.
• Slide the fence (22) up against the blade.
• Push the lever (65) down to secure the fence in place.
• Check that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the adjustment knob (66) fastening the fence bracket to the
fence support (fi g. N2).
• Adjust the fence so that it is parallel to the blade by checking the
distance between the blade and the fence at the front and rear of the
blade.
• When the adjustment has been carried out, re-tighten the adjustment
knob and check again that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• Check that the pointer (67) indicates zero on the scale (fi g. N3). If the
pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (68), move
the pointer to read 0 and tighten the screw.
The fence is reversible: the workpiece can be guided along the 52 mm
or along the 8 mm face to allow the use of a push stick when ripping thin
workpieces (fi g. N4).
• To set for 8 mm, loosen the adjustment knob (66) and slide the fence
(69) out of the clamping support (70).
• Turn the fence and re-engage the clamping support in the slot as
shown (fi g. N4).
• To use with the full height of 52 mm, slide the fence into the clamping
support with the wide face in the vertical position (fi g. N1).
• Use the 8 mm profi le for ripping low workpieces to allow
access between the blade and the fence for the push stick.
• The rear end of the fence should be level with the front of the
riving knife.
Adjusting the saw bench table (fi g. A1)
The table (19) slides up and down manually and is held at the required
height with two locking knobs.
• Loosen the table locking knobs, both main (16) and additional (4),
but do not take them off.
• Set the table to the proper height needed.
• Tighten the table locking knobs. First tighten the main knob (16), then
secure the table in position with the additional knob (4).
Changing from saw bench to mitre saw mode (fi g. A1 & A2)
• Lock the table (19) into highest position.
• Press down the operating handle (2) and pull out the lock down pin
(17), as shown.
• Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to
its full height.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively
worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must
not exceed that of the saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

• Ensure the material to be sawn is fi rmly secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side
pressure on the saw blade.
• Avoid overloading.
• Always remove the dust from the machine after use to
ensure the lower guard operates properly.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
• When sawing wood and wood products, always connect a dust
extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant
regulations regarding dust emission.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrous materials,
these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only.
The same guide-lines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous
(iron and steel) materials, fi bre cement or masonry with this saw!
• When cutting non-ferrous materials, always use a suitable D
saw blade with a rake angle of -5°. Make sure to secure the material
in position using a material clamp.
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the
kerf slot is wider than 10 mm.
Switching on and off (fi g. O)
The on/off switch has a built-in no-volt release function: should the
power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberately
reactivated.
• To switch the machine on, press the green start button (71).
• To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (72).
Basic saw cuts
Quality of cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the
material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and
other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower,
even cutting rate will produce the desired results.
Ensure that the material does not creep while cutting; clamp
it securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop
before raising the arm. If small fi bres of wood still split out at
the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on
the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape
and carefully remove tape when fi nished.
Dust extraction (fi g. A5)
The machine is provided with a 38 mm dust extraction port on the upper
blade guard.
• Connect a suitable dust extraction device during all sawing operations.
• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Sawing in mitre saw mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position
when sawing.
General handling
- In the mitre saw mode, the sawhead is automatically locked in the
upper "park"-position.
- Squeezing the guard release lever will unlock the sawhead. Moving
the sawhead down retracts the movable lower guard.
- Never seek to prevent the lower guard returning to its park position
when the cut is completed.
- The D27111 saw can cut workpieces up to 220 mm width by 90 mm
height. The D27112 saw can cut workpieces up to 285 mm width by
