For all cuts, it must first be ensured that
the saw blade at no time can come in
contact with the fence, workpiece clamp
or other machine parts. Remove any
mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them
accordingly.
Supporting the workpiece
Fig. A, G
Workpieces must always be properly supported.
The table extensions (10) can be extended left
and right to support a workpiece. To do so:
• Move the table extension (10) to the desired
position;
• Rotate the knob for table extension (8) inwards
or outwards until the table extension is
positioned level on the work surface.
When sawing extra-long workpieces, the free
end of long workpieces must have something
additionally placed underneath it or be supported.
Clamping the workpiece
Fig. G
Workpieces must always be firmly clamped. The
workpiece clamp (21) can be placed left and right
of the workpiece. To do so:
1. Ensure the workpiece is firmly pressed against
the fence (9);
2. Insert the supplied workpiece clamp (21) into
one of the holes intended for this purpose, as
can be seen on figure G;
3. Adjust the threaded rod of the workpiece
clamp (21) to the workpiece height;
4. Firmly tighten the threaded rod of the
workpiece clamp (21) to fix the workpiece
in place. To loosen, simply untighten the
threaded rod of the workpiece clamp (21).
The knob for workpiece clamp (44) can be used
to more quickly adjust the height of the workpiece
clamp (21). After adjusting the height, always
firmly tighten the threaded rod of the workpiece
clamp (21) to fix the workpiece in place.
Adjusting the fence
Fig. G
Always adjust the fence to the specific
type of cut.

When sawing mitre and/or bevel angles, you have
to move the adjustable fence (7) depending on
the cutting direction. This way, the workpiece is
always properly supported by the fence under
each condition. To do so:
1. Loosen the locking bolt for adjustable fence (35);
2. Adjust the fence according to the desired cut.
For mitre or straight cuts the fence has to be
moved inwards towards the blade (max 8 mm)
without touching it. For bevel cuts, the fence
has to be moved outwards away from the
blade (max 8 mm) without touching it;
3. Tighten the locking bolt for adjustable fence (35);
4. To ensure the blade won't get in touch with the
adjustable fence (35), it is advised to make a
test run of the movement of the blade, without
turning the machine on.
Adjusting the mitre angle
Fig. A
The mitre angle can be adjusted between 45°
left side and 45° right side. For quick and precise
setting of commonly used mitre angles, presets
are provided on the saw table on 0°, 15°, 22.5°,
30° and 45° angles.
Adjusting the mitre angle to a preset:
1. Loosen the knob for mitre adjustment (14);
2. Push the lever for mitre adjustment (15) and ro-
tate the table (11) left or right to the desired pre-
set. The angle can be read on the scale for mitre
angle (16) using the indicator for mitre angle (17).
3. Release the lever. The lever must be felt to
engage in the detent of the preset.
4. Tighten the knob for mitre adjustment (14).
Adjusting the mitre angle to any required angle:
1. Loosen the knob for mitre adjustment (14);
2. Pull the lever for mitre adjustment (15) and rotate
the table (11) left or right to the desired position.
The angle can be read on the scale for mitre
angle (16) using the indicator for mitre angle (17).
3. Release the lever and tighten the knob for
mitre adjustment (14).
Adjusting the bevel angle
Fig. A, B
The bevel angle can be set between 0° and +45°
to the left side. To do so:
1. Loosen the adjusting knob for bevel adjustment
(22);
