Using the slide function
Fig. A
For extra wide workpieces, the machine is
equipped with a sliding function. When using the
slide function, make sure to loosen the locking
bolt for slide rails (29). Pull the handle (2) away
from the fence (9) until the saw blade is in front
of the workpiece. Slowly guide the tool arm
downwards using the handle and afterwards
push the handle (2) towards the fence (9) and saw
through the workpiece with uniform feed.
For small workpieces, it is possible to fix the
sliding function in the rear position of the saw with
the locking bolt for slide rails (29). If more cutting
width is desired, then it is necessary to loosen the
locking bolt for slide rails (29).
Adjusting the depth stop
Fig. N
The depth stop can be adjusted, to limit the
cutting depth. This can be used to easily saw a
groove. To do so:
1. Move the plate for depth adjustment (45) to the
left.
2. Adjust the knob for depth adjustment (24) to
the desired depth;
Switching the laser on/off
Fig. G, O
Press the laser switch (46) to switch the laser on
or off.
Fine-tuning
Prior to any adjustment work disconnect
the mains power plug.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the
saw must be checked and adjusted before first
use, as well as necessary after intensive use.
Suitable special tools are required for this. Ferm
after-sales will help handling this work quickly and
reliably.
Fine-tuning the laser
Fig. O
If the laser (18) ceases to indicate the correct
cutting line, you can readjust the laser. To do so:
• Loosen the laser adjustment screws (48) and
set the laser by moving it until the laser beam
strikes the teeth of the saw blade (6).

Fine-tuning the 0° bevel angle
Fig. P, Q
1. Adjust the mitre and bevel angle to 0°;
2. Lower the handle (2) and secure it using the
position lock knob (38);
3. Lock the slide movement using the locking
bolt for slide rails (29);
4. Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
table (11), as shown on figure Q. The leg of the
angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(6) along its entire length;
5. Loosen the lock nut for 0° bevel angle (50);
6. Adjust the stop bolt for 0° bevel angle (32) until
the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw
blade along its entire length;
7. Re-tighten the lock nut for 0° bevel angle (50).
Subsequently check the position of the angle
indicator (19). If necessary loosen the pointer
using a Philips screwdriver, set to position 0° on
the scale for bevel angle (20) and re-tighten the
retaining screw.
Fine-tuning the 45° bevel angle (Fig. P, R)
1. Adjust the mitre and bevel angle to 45°;
2. Lower the handle (2) and secure it using the
position lock knob (38);
3. Lock the slide movement using the locking
bolt for slide rails (29);
4. Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the
table (11), as shown on figure R. The leg of the
angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade
(6) along its entire length;
5. Adjust the stop bolt for 45° bevel angle (31)
until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the
saw blade along its entire length;
Subsequently check the position of the angle
indicator (19). If necessary loosen the pointer
using a Philips screwdriver, set to position 45° on
the scale for bevel angle (20) and re-tighten the
retaining screw.
Fine-tuning the 0° mitre angle
Fig. B, G, S
1. Set an angle gauge to 0° on the table (11) and
position it between the fence (9) and the saw
blade (6);
2. The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade (6) along its entire length;
3. Loosen all four fence bolts (51) and adjust the
