in such way that they do not
wobble or run out of balance and
cannot work loose during opera-
tion.
10. Slide on outer blade flange (67).

stop
1. Set the blade tilt stop lever (71) for
the angle range to 0° / 45°.
2. Lock set bevel tilt by tightening lock
lever (70).
3. Check blade bevel angle:
– 0° = at right angles to the saw ta-
ble
– 45° with separate mitre square.
If these angles are not achieved ex-
actly:
4. Release cross-head screw (72) at
respective cam disc and adjust cam
plate until the blade bevel angle in
relation to the saw table is exactly 0°
(= right angles), or 45°, in the end
positions.
5. Retighten cross-head screw at cam
plate.
6. After adjusting the stop limitation, re-
adjust angle scale at front side if
necessary.
3Note:
To set the bevel angle limitation of -1.5°
to 46.5°, the blade tilt stop lever must be
