When operating the machine with a

dust collector connected:

 Use a suitable adapter for connecting

the dust collector.

 Make sure the dust extractor meets

the requirements specified in the sec-

tion 'Technical Data'.

 Also follow the operating instructions

supplied with the dust collector!

7.2 Installing the work clamp

The work clamp can be installed in two

positions:

– For wide workpieces:



insert the work clamp into the rear

hole

(41)

in the table and secure with

the lock bolt

(42)

– For narrow workpieces:

loosen the lock bolt (40) and insert

the front part of the work clamp into

the front hole (43) in the table:

7.3 Mains connection

BDanger! High voltage

Operate the saw only on a power

urce matching the following require-

ments (see also the chapter on "Tech-

nical Specifications"):

– mains voltage and system fr

equency

conform to the voltage and frequency

shown on the machine's nameplate;

– fuse protection by a residual current

opera

ted device (RCD) of 30mA sen-

sitivity;

– Outlets properly installed, earthed

and tested.

 Make sure that the mains cable is out

of the way so that it does not interfere

with the work and cannot be dam-

aged.

 Use only rubber cables of sufficient

cross section (3 × 1.5 mm

) as exten-

sion cables.

 Use an extension for outdoor areas.

Only use approved and appropriately

marked extension cables outdoors.

 Avoid inadvertent starting. Make sure

that the switch is switched off when

inserting the plug into the socket.

 Before starting any work, check to

see that the safety devices are in

proper working order.

 Assume proper operating position:

– at the front of the saw;

– facing the saw;

– to the side of the line of the saw

ade.

ADanger!

When sawing ensure that the work-

piece is always clamped with the work

clamp.

 Never saw workpieces which cannot

be clamped with the work clamp.

ARisk of crushing!

When tilting or swivelling the sawhead

not reach into the axis area of the

sawhead holder or under the machine!

 Hold the sawhead securely when tilt-

ing.

 When working use the following:

– work support – for long stock,

which

would otherwise fall off the

table on completion of the cut;

– chip bag or dust extractor.

 Cut only stock of dimensions that al-

low for safe and secure holding while

cutting.

 Always hold the workpiece down on

the table and do not twist it. Do not at-

tempt to stop the saw blade by exert-

ing lateral pressure to it. Risk of injury

f the saw blade is blocked.

8.1 Standard Cross Cuts

Starting position:

– Transport locking pin pulled out.

– Sawhead fully raised.

– Deactivate cuttin

g depth limiter.

– Rotating table in 0° position,

lock

screw of the rotating table tightened.

– Motorhead in vertical (90) position,

bevel tilt locking lever tightened.

– Track arm not extended.

– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.

Cutting the workpiece:

1. Press the workpiece against the

nce and clamp with work clamp.

2. On wider workpieces pull the saw-

head forward (towards the operator).

3. Activate the safety lock (26) and

press and hold down the ON/OFF

trig

ger switch (27).

4. Lower sawhead slowly at the han-

dle; if necessary, push to the rear

(away fro

m the operator). When

sawing, exert only moderate pres-

sure to prevent the motor speed

from dropping too much.

5. Cut workpiece in a single pass.

6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let

the sawhead slowly return to its up-

per starting position.

8.2 Cutting of Small Cutoffs

When cutting with an extended track

arm, the retractable blade guard may

jam at the work piece when the saw-

head assembly is pushed back.

 If this happens, release the ON/OFF

switch and let the sawhead assembly

slowly return to its upper starting posi-

tion.

Jamming of the retractable blade oc-

curs in rare cases onl

y, for example:

– during sawing of small cutoffs which

must be cut

using the radial pull ac-

tion due to their widths;

– with compound mitre cuts to the left

side.

In these cases, proceed as under:

All settings of the saw (position of the

rotating

table and sawhead assembly

tilt) remain unchanged for making the

desired cut.

What changes is the direction of cutting

through the work piece.

1. Press the workpiece against the

fence and secure with the work

clamp.

2. Push the sawhead assembly all the

was to the rear (away from the oper-

ator).

3. Activate the safety lock (26) and

press and hold down the ON/OFF

trigger switch (27).

4. Slowly swing the sawhead assembly

all the way down, holding the handle

firmly with both hands. When saw-

ing, exert only moderate pressure to

revent the motor speed from drop-

ping too much.

5. Pull the sawhead assembly forward

(towa

rds the operator).

6. Cut workpiece in a single pass.

7. Release the ON/OFF switch and let

the

sawhead slowly return to its up-

per starting position.

8.3 Mitre Cuts

Starting position:

– Transport locking pin pulled out.

– Sawhead fully raised.

– Deactivate cutting depth limiter.

– Motorhead in vertical (90) position,

vel tilt locking lever tightened.

– Track arm not extended.

– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.

Cutting the workpiece:

1. Loosen the lock screw (17) of the ro-

tating table and disengage the table

lock lever (18).

2. Set to desired angle.

3. Tighten the rotating table's lock

screw.

4. Cut workpiece as detailed under

Standard cross cuts".

8.4 Bevel cuts

Starting position:

– Transport locking pin pulled out.

– Sawhead fully raised.

– Deactivate cutting depth limiter.

– Rotating table in 0° po

sition, lock

screw of the rotating table tightened.

– Track arm not extended.

– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.

Cutting the workpiece:

1. Loosen the lock lever (13) for saw-

head tilt at the rear of the saw.

2. Tilt the sawhead slowly into the de-

sired position.

3. Tighten the sawhead tilt lock lever.
