• Check that the pointer (111) indicates zero on the scale (fi g. P3). If the
pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the screw (112),
move the pointer to read 0° and tighten the screw.
The default set-up of the fence is to the right-hand side of the blade.
To prepare the fence for use to the left-hand side of the blade, proceed as
follows (fi g. P4):
• Remove the lock knobs (109).
• Slide the fence profi le (113) out of the clamping support.
• Turn the clamping support (114) round and re-fi t the lock knobs.
• Slide the fence onto the clamping support.
• Tighten the knobs.
The fence is reversible: the workpiece can be guided along the 75 mm or
along the 11 mm face to allow the use of a push stick when ripping thin
workpieces (fi g P5).
• To set for 11 mm, loosen the fence clamping knobs (109) and slide the
fence (113) out of the clamping support (114).
• Turn the fence and re-engage the clamping support in the slot as
shown (fi g. P5).
• To use with the full height of 75 mm, slide the fence into the clamping
support with the wide face in the vertical position (fi g. P4).
Use the 11 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.
Mounting and adjusting the mitre fence (fi g. Q1 - Q4)
The mitre fence (D271052) is available as an option. The mitre fence (41) can
be used for mitre cutting when the machine is in saw bench mode (fi g. Q1).
• Loosen the clamp knob (115) and swing the guide bar (116) out (fi g. Q2).
Tighten the clamp knob.
• Slide the fence on the left side on the table (fi g. Q3).
• Loosen the lock knob (117).
• Place a square (82) against the fence (41) and the blade (76).
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the nut (118) a few turns and turn the right angle adjustment
stop screw (119) (fi g. Q4) in or out until the fence is at 90° to the blade
as measured with the square (fi g. Q3).
• Tighten the knob (117).
• Check that the pointer (120) indicates zero on the scale (121).
Adjust if necessary.
Changing from saw bench to mitre saw mode (fi g. A3, E & M1)
• Remove the parallel fence (22), or the mitre fence, if fi tted (fi g. A3).
• Remove the upper blade guard (21).
• Replace the under-table guard (63) (fi g. E).
• Proceed as described in the section "Turning the sawhead and table
over".
• Slacken the riving knife clamp knob (97) and remove the riving knife (20),
while holding the blade guard (8) (fi g. M1).
• Lower the blade guard.
• Place the riving knife in its storage position in the inside of the base.
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
• The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking
machines regulations 1974" and any subsequent
amendments.
• 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.
Prior to operation:
• 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.
Switching on and off (fi g. R1 - R3)
This machine has two independent switching systems. In mitre saw mode,
the trigger switch (11) is used (fi g. R1). In saw bench mode, the on/off
switch (1) is used (fi g. R2). Integrated in the switch box is a motor overload
protector with manual reset. In case of a power shut-off, proceed as
follows:
- Make sure the machine has been switched off.
- Press the reset button (142).
Mitre saw mode (fi g. R1)
A hole (122) is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the
switch.
• To run the tool, press the trigger switch (11).
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
Saw bench mode (fi g. R2 & R3)
The on/off switch offers multiple advantages:
- no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason,
the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- extra safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate (123) can be locked by
passing a padlock through the holes (124 & 125). The plate also serves
as an "easy to locate" emergency stop button as pressure on the front
of the plate will depress the stop button.
• To switch the machine on, press the green start button (126).
• To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (127).
Locking the switches
• In order to avoid unauthorised use of the machine, lock both switches
using padlocks.
Basic saw cuts
Sawing in mitre saw mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position
when sawing.
• Make sure that the under-table guard does not become clogged with
sawdust.
• Always clamp the workpiece when cutting non-ferrous metals.
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 minimum length of offcut material is 10 mm.
- When cutting short material (min. 190 mm to the left or the right of the
blade), the use of the optional material clamp is recommended.
- When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber
with a complementary profi le should be placed beneath the material
being cut to provide the correct level of support.
