Checking:
The angle indicator 20 must be in alignment
with the 0° mark of the scale 19.
Adjusting:
Loosen the screw 56 with the Phillips screw-
driver provided and align the angle indicator
along the 0° mark.
Afterwards, check to ensure that the adjust-
ment made is correct for the 45° mark.
Retighten the screw again.
Aligning the Fence
Bring the machine into the transport posi-
tion.
Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking: (see figure T1)
Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
saw table 8 between the fence 18 and the
saw blade 40.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the fence over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure T2)
Loosen all Allen screws 24 with the Allen key
provided.
Turn the fence 18 until the angle gauge is
flush over the complete length.
Retighten the screws again.
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 0° (Vertical)
Bring the machine into the transport posi-
tion.
Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking: (see figure U1)
Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
saw table 8.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 40 over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure U2)
Turn the Allen screw 57 in or out using a suit-
able Allen key (size 3 mm) until the leg of the
angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over
its complete length.
In case the angle indicator 20 is not in a line with
the 0° mark of the scale 19 after the adjust-
ment, the angle indicator must be aligned ac-
cordingly (see “Aligning the Angle Indicator
(Vertically)”, page 46).
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 45°

Release the clamping lever 21 and tilt the
tool arm leftward to the stop (45°) by the
handle 5.
Checking: (see figure V1)
Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the
saw table 8.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 40 over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure V2)
Turn the Allen screw 58 in or out using a suit-
able Allen key (size 3 mm) until the leg of the
angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over
its complete length.
In case the angle indicator 20 is not in a line with
