For quick and precise setting of frequently used bevel

angles, stops have been provided for the angles 0°, 47°, 45°,

33.9° and 22.5°.

uFor bevel cuts when using the SDS bolt(30), before

sawing, first make sure that the SDS bolt cannot come

into contact with the surface of the workpiece at any

time by making a suitable adjustment to the depth

stop (40). This prevents damage to the SDS bolt and/or

the workpiece.

Setting the left bevel angle range (see figure J1)

– Pull the left-hand adjustable fence(2) all the way out.

– Loosen the clamping lever(7).

– Use the handle (12) to swivel the tool arm to the left until

the angle indicator (41) shows the required bevel angle.

– Re-tighten the clamping lever(7).

Setting the complete bevel angle range (see figure J2)

– Swing the stop (42) all the way out.

This enables you to use the complete mitre angle range

(left and right).

– Pull the right-hand adjustable fence(2) all the way out or

remove it completely.

If you want to use the entire bevel angle range, you also

have to pull the left-hand adjustable fence(2) all the way

out or remove it completely.

– Loosen the clamping lever(7).

– Swing the tool arm left or right by the handle(12) until

the angle indicator(41)/(5) shows the required bevel

angle.

– Re-tighten the clamping lever(7).

Setting standard bevel angles (see figure J3)

– Loosen the clamping lever(7).

–Standard 0° bevel angles:

Swing the tool arm by the handle (12) slightly to the left

and swing the stop (42) all the way in.

Standard 47°, 45°, 33.9° and 22.5° bevel angles:

Turn the stop(3) until the required standard bevel angle

engages at the arrow mark.

– Re-tighten the clamping lever(7).

Start-up

uProducts that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-

ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current

of 30 mA or less.

uPay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the

power source must match the voltage specified on the

rating plate of the power tool.

Switching on (see figure K)

– To start the tool, press the on/off switch (31) and keep it

pressed.

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (31) cannot be

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Only by pressing the locking lever(13) can the tool arm be

guided downwards.

– For sawing, you must therefore press the locking

lever(13) in addition to pressing the On/Off switch(31).

Switching off

– To switch off, release the on/off switch (31).

Starting current limitation

The electronic starting current limitation feature restricts the

power of the power tool when it is switched on and enables

operation using a 16 A fuse.

Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after

being switched on, this means that the starting current limit-

ation has failed. The power tool must be sent to the after-

sales service without delay.

Sawing

General sawing instructions

uAlways tighten the locking knob(21) and the clamp-

ing lever (7) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw

blade can become wedged in the workpiece.

uFor 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 machine parts. Remove any mounted

auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-

ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of

the intended use.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must

always have a straight edge to face against the fence.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-

thing placed underneath it or be supported.

Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly

and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must

open when the tool arm is guided downwards. When the tool

arm is guided upwards, the retracting blade guard must

close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost po-

sition of the tool arm.

Adjusting the Speed (not available in all country-specific

versions)

The speed regulator(8) enables continuously variable ad-

justment of the speed of the power tool even during opera-

tion.

Note: Always set the suitable speed for the workpiece ma-

terial (see table below). This will prevent the saw teeth over-

heating when sawing.
