and then support the workpieces using T-
LOC SYS-MFT Systainers that are Systainer
size 1.
► Use additional fastening clamps to secure
the workpiece.
Thin workpieces
During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble or
break.
► During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble
or break.
► Reinforce the workpiece: Clamp it together
with wood offcuts.
Heavy workpieces
► To guarantee the stability of the machine,
even when sawing heavy workpieces, adjust
the support foot [10-4] so that it is flush
with the base.
10.5 Compound mitre saws
The basic function of the compound mitre saw
is to saw using a fixed saw unit with no inclina
tion. Recommended: Workpieces up to a width
of 2-3/4" (70 mm).
The rotary knob [1-6] locks the saw unit so that
it can no longer be moved forwards or back
wards.
► Close the rotary knob for the slide locking
device [1-6].
► Press and hold the safety button [1-3]
.
► Push the saw unit down and, when doing so,
press and hold the On/Off switch [1-2].
► Only guide the saw unit towards the work
piece once the set speed has been reached.
► Cut the workpiece.
► Once the cut is complete, guide the saw unit
back to its upwards position.
The pendulum guard closes automatically.
► Release the safety button and the On/Off
switch.
Spot lighting
The spot lighting SL‑KSC60 casts a shadow over
the saw blade and onto the workpiece.
► Use the on/off switch [2-1] to activate this
function.
The cutting line becomes visible when the saw
unit is lowered.
The spot lighting switches off automatical
ly after one hour.
10.6 Slide-sawing
When slide-sawing, the saw blade is guided to
the workpiece from the front, which means the
sawing is controlled and requires less effort.
Recommended for workpieces wider
than
2-3/4" (70 mm).
Correct sawing process when slide-sawing
Avoid reverse cutting.
When sawing, do
not pull the lowered saw unit up to the
body. The saw blade could hook in and the saw
unit could accelerate towards the operator.
► Release the rotary knob for the slide locking
device [1-6]
.
► Pull the saw unit to the limit stop.
► Press and hold the safety button [1-3]
.
► Push the saw unit down and, when doing so,
press and hold the On/Off switch [1-2].
► Only guide the saw unit towards the work
piece once the set speed has been reached.
► Cut the workpiece; slide the saw unit
through the workpiece until the limit stop.
► Once the cut is complete, guide the saw unit
back to its upwards position.
The pendulum guard closes automatically.
► Release the safety button and the On/Off
switch. Close the rotary knob.
10.7 Sawing the mitre angle
[11]
Setting the standard mitre angle
The following mitre angles (left and right) auto
matically engage:
0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60°
► Release the rotary knob
.
► Press the detent lever but do not hook it in
to place .
► Rotate the rotary base into the required po
sition
; release the detent lever shortly
before the required angle has been
reached.
The rotary base easily clicks into place at
the intended mitre angles.
► Close the rotary knob .
