• Adjust the adjusting screw (27) until the angle be-
tween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90°.
• It is not necessary to fix this setting because it is
maintained by the spring pretension.
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 0° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.3 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° (Fig.8)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary
to ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the ma-
chine head (4) can move.
Attention! For 90° cross cuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) on the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (28) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a
position far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) is no more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (16a) and the saw blade
(6).
• Tighten the set screw (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (3) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail
(16) and on the turntable (14).
• Lock the material with the clamping device (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Push down the release lever (3) to release the ma-
chine head (4).
• Press the ON/OFF switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place:
• use the handle (1) to move the machine head (4)
steadily and with light pressure downwards until the
saw blade (6) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place:
• pull the machine head (4) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by apply-
ing steady and light downward pressure. Now push
the machine head (4) slowly and steadily to the
very back until the saw blade (6) has completely cut
through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head (4) back to its upper (home) position
and release the ON/OFF button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward stroke
automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do not re-
lease the handle (1) after completing the cut; instead
allow the machine head to move upwards slowly whilst
applying light counter pressure.
8.4 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° - 45° (Fig. 9)
The crosscut saw can be used to make crosscuts of 0°
-45° to the left and 0° -45° to the right in relation to the
stop rail.
Important. To make 90° crosscuts, the adjustable stop
rail (16a) must be fixed at the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the adjustable stop rail
and push the adjustable stop rail inwards.
• The adjustable stop rail (29) must be fixed far
enough in front of the innermost position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) amounts to a maximum of 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (16b) again.
• Loosen set screw (26).
• Use the handle (11) to adjust the rotary table (14)
to the desired angle. The pointer (12) on the rotary
table must match the desired angle on the scale (13)
on the fixed saw table (15).
• Re-tighten the set screw (26) in order to secure the
rotary table (14).
• Cut as described under section 8.3.
8.5 Precision adjustment of the stop for mitre cut
45° (Fig. 1/10/11)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure using the
locking bolt (23).
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the set screw (22) and use the handle (1) to
angle the machine head (4) 45° to the left.
• 45° - position angle stop (b) between the saw blade
(6) and rotary table (14).
• Adjust the adjusting screw (28) until the angle be-
tween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is pre-
cisely 45°.
• It is not necessary to fix this setting because it is
maintained by the spring pretension.
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 45° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.6 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0° (Fig. 1/2/12)
The crosscut saw can be used to make mitre cuts of
0° - 45° in relation to the work face.
Important. To make miter cuts (inclined saw head),
the adjustable stop rail (16a) must be fixed at the outer
position.
