Adjusting the saw

Before setting operations:
 Switch off device.
 Wait for standstill of the saw blade
 Pull out power plug
Setting the work piece stop

To adjust a work piece stop that has shifted during
transport, proceed as follows:
Push the saw head to the rear and tighten the locking
screw (6) of the pulling device.
Set the rotary table to 0° and firmly tighten the locking
screw for the rotary table (7).
Position the saw head in transport position (see
"Transport")
Check the angle between saw blade (37) and work piece
stop (11) using a square (A, not supplied).
If the workpiece stop must be adjusted, loosen the adjust-
ing screws for the workpiece stop (12) on both sides.
Also loosen the locking screw for the auxiliary stop.
Align the work piece stop along the square and tighten the
screws again.
Adjusting the incline of the saw head

Also check the angle of the saw head to the rotary table.
Checking the 90° angle:
Set the saw head to the transport position and the rotary
table to 0°. Verify the angle with a square (A, not supplied)
or protractor.
Proceed as follows if the angle is not exactly 90°:
Loosen the locking nut for the set screw (28).
Unscrew the set screw (27) to turn the saw head to the

right.
Screw in the set screw (27) to turn the saw head to the

left.
Tighten the locking nut for the set screw (28) once more.
If necessary, loosen the screw (A) for the indicator (26)
and shift it until it points to "0". Tighten the screw again.
Checking the 45° angle:
Put the saw head to the 45° position and check the angle
using a protractor (B, not supplied).
Proceed as follows if the angle is not exactly 45°:
Loosen the locking nut (30) for the set screw (29).
Adjust the set screw (29) by turning it clockwisely or coun-
terclockwisely so that the saw blade comes in contact with
the square (45°).
Retighten the locking nut (30) for the set screw.
If necessary, loosen the screw (A) for the indicator (26)
and shift it until it points to "45". Tighten the screw again.

Adjusting the saw blade depth
You must set the max. saw blade depth to ensure that
the the saw blade does not touch the bottom of the saw
blade groove.
Carefully turn the saw blade by hand to ensure that it turns
freely.
Press the saw head down (transport position) and secure
it using the transport locking pin (5).
The saw blade depth is set correctly if the saw blade pro-
trudes approx. 5 mm below the table surface.
You can set the correct saw blade depth as follows:
For fine adjustment of the saw blade depth, loosen the lock
nut (32) for the adjusting screw (31).
The saw head rises when you turn the set screw (31)

counterclockwisely.
 The saw head lowers when you turn the set screw (31)
clockwisely.
Retighten the locking nut (32) for the set screw (31).

Adjusting the laser

The laser beam can become misaligned, e.g. through vibrations.
Check therefore prior to cutting if the laser correctly indicates the
cut line.
Set the saw as described in "Straight cuts".
Make a trial cut.
Switch on the laser and compare the laser line with the cut
line.
In case of deviations, loosen the screws (14) and turn the
laser head until the beam is positioned vertically.

Working with the saw

Before starting to work consider the following safety
advices to keep the risk of injuries as small as possi-
ble.
 Saw blade OK?
 Workplace tidied?
 You may not start to operate the machine until you have
read these original instructions, observed all the instructions
given and installed the machine as described!
Before each saw operation make sure that the mitre
saw stands safely.
Before making adjustments to the saw settings (e.g. re-
placing the saw blade, setting the work piece stop, etc.)
 Switch off device.
 Wait for standstill of the saw blade
 Pull out mains plug.
In any case, observe all the instructions given in the
chapter "Intended use" and in the enclosed brochure
"Safety instructions for crosscut and mitre saws".
