Rotating table
For mitre cuts the rotating table (28)
turns through 45° to both sides.

The rotating table lock engages auto-
matically at positive detents provided for
0°, 15°, 22,5°, 30° and 45° mitre angles.
To disengage, actuate the table lock
lever (30) and loosen the locking screw
(29), if necessary.
To lock the rotating table at any desired
in-between angle, tighten the locking
screw.

Mains connection

Danger! Electrical Hazard
B
Operate saw in dry environ-
ment only.
Operate saw only on a power source
matching the following requirements
(see also "Technical Specifications"):
− mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the
saw's reating label;
− fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
− outlets properly installed, earthed
and tested;
Position power supply cable so it
does not interfere with the work and
is not damaged.
Protect power supply cable from heat,
aggressive liquids and sharp edges.
Use only rubber-jacketed extension
cables with sufficient lead cross-sec-
2
tion (3 x 1.5 mm ).
Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.
