Setting the saw blade angle
See � gure 14.
The angle of the saw blade can be freely
adjusted from 0 to 45° to the left.
Loosen the lock knob (13) and adjust the saw
blade to the required angle by pressing the
hand wheel (12) in and turning it. The angle
can be read on the scale by the hand wheel.
Retighten the lock knob (13).
Fitting and adjusting the parallel guide
See � gures 15, 16 and 17.
Use the parallel guide (15) when you make a
cut along the workpiece. The parallel guide
must be installed to the right of the saw
blade (3).
The parallel guide can be used in two ways:
- Fit the plastic guide (15a) to the guide rail
using wing nuts as shown in � gure 15 if
you intend to saw short workpieces.
- Remove the plastic guide (15a) as shown
in � gure 16 if you intend to saw long
workpieces.
Loosen the wing nuts (28) as shown in � gure
15 and remove the plastic guide (15a) from
the parallel guide.
Insert the parallel guide (15) into the front
rail (14) and move it to the required position,
which can be read on the measuring scale
through the sight glass. The measuring
scales on the front rail indicate the distance
between the saw blade and the parallel
guide when the guide rail is � tted.
Secure the parallel guide in the selected
position using the lock knob (30).

Fitting and adjusting the mitre guide
See � gure 18.
Push the mitre guide (7) into the slot
(31a/31b) in the saw bench (1).
Loosen the wing nut (32) on the mitre guide
(7) and turn it until the arrow is pointing at
the required angle from 0 to 60 degrees.
Retighten the wing nut (32).
If necessary loosen the nuts (33) and move
the guide rail (34) on the mitre guide to the
required position. Retighten the nuts (33).
Note! The guide rail (34) and the mitre guide
(7) must not be placed closer than 2 cm from
the saw blade (3)!
Use
Note! Switch the saw off immediately using
the red on/off button (11, labelled "O")
if any kind of dangerous situation arises
during work!
See � gures 19, 20, 21 and 22.
For larger workpieces, you must use roller
supports or similar so that the sawn pieces
do not fall down off the circular bench saw
once the cut is complete.
Place the item to be cut on the workbench
and against the parallel guide (15) or mitre
guide (7).
Switch on the saw using the green on/off
button (11, labelled "I"), and allow the saw to
reach full speed.
Feed the item in with a smooth, sliding
movement. Use the push stick (9) for small
workpieces.
Use both hands. Be careful not to place your
hands near the saw blade (3) when pushing
the workpiece forward.
Always hold the main part of the workpiece
and not the part to be cut off .
