Adjusting the Saw (Figs. 1 and 2, Parts Diagram)

•   

To adjust the turntable (8), loosen the locking grip (10) by turning it through 2 complete

rotations to unlock the turntable (8).

•   

The turntable (8) can be set to 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45°. As soon as the turntable (8)

has engaged, the position must be fixed by tightening the locking grip (10).

•   

If different angles are required, the turntable (8) is fixed using the locking grip (10) alone.

•   

While pressing down lightly on the machine head (4), pull the lock pin (16) out of the motor

holder to disengage the saw from its bottom working position.

•   

Swing up the machine head until the retaining hook latches home.

•   

Loosen screw (21) and remove screw (21).

•   

Slide the slotted side of the mounting plate on the mobile blade guard (6) under the screw

head (21).

•   

Make sure the screw and washer (18) are firmly in place in the control lever of the mobile

blade guard (19). Push the arbor lock arm (38) and then turn the blade until it is locked

inside. Use the hex key to loose the arbor screw (24). Remove the outer flange (25).

•   

Change to the new blade and re-insert the screw (21) and retighten both screws (21).

•   

The saw head (4) can be tilted by max. 45° to the left by loosening the tensioning screw

(13).

•   

Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate is the same as your main voltage before

plugging in the machine.

Adjusting the fence (Figs. 5 and 6)
•   

Disconnect from the mains.

•   

Move the saw head (4) into the 90° position and tighten the locking grip (10).

•   

Push down the saw head (4).

•   

Place the angle (a) with the long grip against the fence, as shown in the illustration.

•   

Check whether the saw blade (5) is perpendicular to the fence (7).

•   

If the position has to be corrected, loosen the two fixing screws (28) of the fence (7) and

adjust the fence (7) so that it is perpendicular to the saw blade (5).

•   

Once you have completed the adjustment work, retighten the two fixing screws (28).

90° cross-cuts and 0° rotary table (Fig. 1/2)
•   

Press the main switch (3) to turn on the saw.

Important!

The material to be sawn must be placed flat on the machining table to that it 

cannot slip during cutting.

•   

After switching on the saw, wait for the blade (5) to reach its maximum speed.

•   

When the cut is completed, return the machine to its top parking position and let go of the

On/Off switch.

CAUTION!

A return spring causes the machine head to rise automatically at the end of

the cut. Do not let go of the handle (2) as soon as the cut is completed but steady the

machine head and allow it to rise slowly.
