3. Tighten the two knobs (12) to fix the Parallel
guide (7).
4. In addition to the scale display, measure the
cutting width between saw blade and Parallel
guide. After a new setting, make a test cut to
check the dimensions.
Mitre guide
Fig. L
For cross-cutting of wooden parts, the Mitre
guide(14) must be used.
1. Fix the Mitre guide extension (23) to the Mitre
guide (14) with the knobs for mitre guide (24).
2. Push the Mitre guide(14) into the groove (21) of
the table surface.
3. Loosen the knob for mitre angle (28).
4. Turn the Mitre guide extension (23) until the
arrow points to the desired angle.
5. Tighten the knob for mitre angle (28) again.
6. Check the distance between Mitre guide
extension (23) and saw blade (4).
Warning! Do not push the Mitre guide extension
(23) too far towards the saw blade. The distance
between Mitre guide extension (23) and saw blade
(4) should be approx. 2 cm. If necessary, loosen
the two knobs for mitre guide (24) and adjust the
Mitre guide extension (23). Afterwards, retighten the
knobs for mitre guide (24).
Angle adjustment
Fig. A, I
1. Loosen both the front knob for angle adjustment
(8) and the rear knob for angle adjustment (9).
2. Adjust the saw blade angle by sliding the two
knobs (8, 9) until the indicator (13) matches the
desired angle on the angle scale (10).
3. Tighten both the front knob for angle adjustment
(8) and the rear knob for angle adjustment (9).
Working instructions
There are two types of sawing methods:
• Lengthwise sawing (Fig.K)
Sawing the workpiece in the length of the
wood grain
• Cross-cutting or cutting off, use the mitre
guide (Fig.L)
Sawing off the workpiece crosswise
For both sawing methods one of the
fences must be used. Therefor never saw
without a fence!
Attention! Before you start sawing, first check the
following:
1. Is the saw blade secured?
2. Are all the locking handles secured?
3. Is the fence parallel to the saw blade?
4. Is the protective cap working properly?
5. Are you wearing safety goggles?
6. Is the saw blade not rubbing against anything?
It is absolutely necessary to take these
points into consideration before you start
work!
Lengthwise sawing
• Secure the fence to the correct measuring
position and remove the cut-off guide from the
bench carriage.
• Press the wood lightly towards the bench and
let it glide against the cut-off fence.
Remain at least 3 cm. from the front of
the saw blade before you switch on the
motor. The side of the wood which is
against the fence must be completely
straight. Keep your hands at least 10 cm
away from the saw track to be followed.
• Switch on the motor and wait until the saw
blade has reached the maximum number of
revolutions before you start sawing.
• While you press the wood against the bench
and the fence, you can carefully push the
wood through the saw blade without forcing it.
• Never pull the workpiece backwards. If
necessary, switch off the motor first without
altering the position of the workpiece.
Lengthwise sawing with a (vertical) mitre
This method is practically the same, except that
the saw blade is placed at the angle required.
With this type of method the fence may
only be along the righthand side of the
sawblade.
