9.5 Cuts without pull movement
► Adjust the machine settings to the settings
you would like.
► Clamp the workpiece in position.
► Push the saw unit towards the rear all the
way to the stop (in the direction of the work­
piece stop) and tighten the rotary knob [1.5]
for clamping the pulling unit or secure the
saw unit in the special cutting position.
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly guide the saw unit downward by the
handle [1.1] and saw through the workpiece
at an even feed rate.
► Switch the machine off and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stand­
still.
► Swivel the saw unit back up.
9.6 Cuts with pull movement
► Adjust the machine settings to the settings
you would like.
► Clamp the workpiece in position.
► Pull the saw unit forwards along the guide
rods.
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly guide the saw unit downwards by the
handle [1.1].
► Push the saw unit towards the rear at an
even feed rate and saw the workpiece.
► Switch off the machine.
► Wait until the saw blade has come to a com­
plete standstill and only then swivel the saw
unit upwards.
9.7 Bevel
The bevel can be used to gauge any angle (e.g.
between two walls). The bevel therefore forms
the angle bisection.

Gauging the interior angle
► Open the clamp [18.2].
► Place the bevel with the two routers [18.1]
against the interior angle.
► Close the clamp [18.2].
Gauging the exterior angle
► Open the clamp [18.3].
► Push the aluminium profiles [18.4] of the
two routers forwards.
► Place the bevel with the two routers [18.4]
against the exterior angle.
► Close the clamp [18.3].
► Push the aluminium profiles of the two
routers back again.
Transferring the angle
► Place the bevel with one router against the
stop ruler of the mitre saw.
► To set the angle bisector (horizontal mitre
angle), swivel the saw unit until the laser
beam is congruent with the line [19.1] of
the bevel.
To do so, the bevel must be positioned so
that it is parallel to the stop of the com­
pound mitre saw. At the same time, apply
pressure to the stop ruler by pressing in
the recessed grip with your thumb.
