Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
f For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the fence, screw clamps or other ma-
chine parts. Remove possibly mounted aux-
iliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the fence.
Hand Positioning
(see figure K)
Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the ro-
tating saw blade.
Do not cross your arms when operating the tool
arm.
Maximum Workpiece Dimensions
Replacing Insert Plates
(see figure L)
The red insert plates 10 can become worn after
long use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Unscrew the screws 43 using the provided
Phillips screwdriver and remove the old in-
sert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to
the right with the screws 43 so that the saw
blade does not come into contact with the in-
sert plate over the complete length of the
possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner
for the left-hand insert plate.

Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure N)

arm slowly downward with the tool handle 5.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform
feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Guide the tool arm slowly upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement
– For cuts using the slide device 1 (wide work-
pieces), loosen the locking screw 25 in case
it is tightened.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate
for its dimensions.
– Set the desired mitre angle.
– Pull the tool arm away from the fence 18 far
enough so that the saw blade is in front of
the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Push the locking lever 32 and guide the tool
arm slowly downward with the tool handle 5.

fence 18 and saw through the workpiece ap-
