Setting mitre and bevel angles
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Setting Bevel Angles (saw blade) (see figure A)
The bevel angle can be set between -2° and 47°.
– Loosen the locking lever (16) by turning it anticlockwise.
Note: When the locking lever is fully loosened, gravity
causes the saw blade to tilt into a position that corresponds
to approximately 30°.
– Pull or push the hand wheel (17) along the slotted link un-
til the angle indicator (51) shows the required bevel
angle.
– Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the
locking lever (16).
For quick and precise setting of the standard bevel
angles of 0° and 45°, there are pre-set stops ((59)),((62)).
Setting mitre angles (angle guide) (see figure B)
The mitre angle can be set between 60° (left-hand side) and
60° (right-hand side).
– Loosen the locking knob (53) if it is tightened.
– Turn the angle guide until the angle indicator (54) shows
the required mitre angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (53).
Extending the saw table
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
Saw table expansion (see figure C)
The saw table expansion (13) increases the width of the saw
table (8) on the right to a maximum of 625 mm.
– Pull the clamping handle (15) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (13) to the required
length.
– Push the clamping handle (15) down. This fixes the saw
table expansion in place.
Adjusting the parallel guide
The parallel guide (9) can be positioned on either the left
(black scale) or the right (silver scale) of the saw blade. The
marking in the magnifying glass (27) shows the set distance
between the parallel guide and the saw blade on the scale
(2).
Position the parallel guide on the desired side of the saw
blade (see "Fitting the parallel guide (see figure d)",
page 38).
Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is not pulled out
– Loosen the clamping handle (39) of the parallel guide
(9). Move the parallel guide until the marking in the mag-
nifying glass (27) indicates the desired distance from the
saw blade.
1 609 92A 5C2 | (26.07.2019)
When the saw table is not pulled out, the lower marking
on the silver scale applies (2).
– To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (39) back
down.
Adjusting the parallel guide
when the saw table is pulled out (see figure D)
– Position the parallel guide on the right of the saw blade.
Move the parallel guide until the marking in the magnify-
ing glass (27) shows 26 cm on the lower scale.
To secure it in place, push the clamping handle (39) back
down.
– Pull the clamping handle (15) for the saw table expansion
all the way up.
– Pull out the saw table expansion (13) until the spacing in-
dicator (55) shows the desired distance from the saw
blade on the upper scale.
– Push the clamping handle (15) down.
This fixes the saw table expansion in place.
Adjusting the additional parallel guide (see
figure E)
To saw narrow workpieces and bevel angles, you must fit
the additional parallel guide (41) on the parallel guide (9).
The additional parallel guide can be fitted on the left or right
of the parallel guide (9) as required.
When sawing, workpieces can become jammed between the
parallel guide and the saw blade, caught in the saw blade as
it rises and ejected.
You should therefore set the additional parallel guide so that
the end of the guide is between the front tooth of the saw
blade and the front edge of the riving knife.
– To do so, loosen all wing nuts of the fastening set (42)
and move the additional parallel guide until only the front
two screws are used for attachment.
– Retighten the wing nuts.
Adjusting the riving knife
The riving knife (7) prevents the saw blade (26) from be-
coming jammed in the kerf. Otherwise there is a risk of kick-
back occurring if the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
It is therefore important to ensure that the riving knife is set
up correctly:
– The radial clearance between the saw blade and the riving
knife must not exceed 3−8 mm (max.).
– The thickness of the riving knife must be smaller than the
cutting width and larger than the base blade thickness.
– The riving knife must always be aligned with the saw
blade.
– For normal cuts, the riving knife must always be in the
highest possible position.
Adjusting the riving knife height (see figure F)
The height of the riving knife must be adjusted in order to
saw grooves.
