10. Connect the blade guard's dust

extraction port to a suitable dust col-

lector.

11. If necessary, attach the rip fence

(70) to the front of the saw table.

After loosening the two knurled nuts

(71), the fence extrusion can be

removed and shifted:

• Wide edge (72):

− for cutting thick stock.

• Small edge (73):

− for cutting thin stock;

− when the saw blade is tilted.

8.3 Operation

Danger!

• Always work with a properly set

riving knife.

• Always use the push stick if the

distance between fence extrusion

and saw blade is ≤120 mm.

• Set-in work or slotting must not

be carried out in table saw mode.

Carry out such work in crosscut

saw mode.

• In table saw mode the rotating

table must always be in the 0°

position.

• Rebating and grooving must be

done using a suitable guard,

since for this type of work the

blade guard must be removed. A

suitable guard would be for

example a tunnel-shaped cover

for the upper side of the work-

piece.

• Before starting any work, check

to see that the following are in

proper working order:

− saw blade;

− blade guard;

− riving knife;

− push stick.

• Assume proper operating posi-

tion:

− at the front of the saw;

− in front of the saw;

− to the side of the line of cut.

• Do not reach under the saw table.

Risk of personal injury by the

rotating saw blade.

• If the type of work requires, use

the following:

− work support – for long stock,

which would otherwise fall off

the table on completion of the

cut;

− dust collector;

− work clamp;

− Rip fence.

Standard cross cuts

1. Set the saw blade with the hand-

wheel (74) for height adjustment to

the desired cutting height.

2. Place workpiece flat on the saw

table.

3. Start saw (press green switch but-

ton).

4. Exert only moderate pressure when

sawing, to prevent the motor speed

to drop too much.

5. Cut workpiece in a single pass.

6. If no further cutting is to be done

immediately afterwards, switch the

saw OFF (press red switch button).

Bevel cuts

Note:

A bevel cut cuts the workpiece at

an angle between 0° and 45° from verti-

cal.

1. Loosen the ratchet lock lever (75).

2. Tilt sawhead to desired angle

against the workpiece's surface.

3. Tighten the ratchet lock lever (75).

4. Cut workpiece as detailed under

"Standard cross cuts".

Danger!

Unplug before servicing.

− Repair and maintenance work other

than described in this section should

only be carried out by qualified spe-

cialists.

− Replace defective parts, especially

of safety devices, only with genuine

replacement parts. Parts not tested

and approved by the equipment

manufacturer can cause unforeseen

damage.

− Check that all safety devices are

operational again after each service.

9.1 Saw blade change

Danger!

• Directly after cutting the saw

blade can be very hot – burning

hazard! Let a hot saw blade cool

down. Do not clean the saw blade

with combustible liquids.

• Risk of injury, even with the blade

at standstill. Wear gloves when

changing blades.

• When assembling, the direction

of rotation of the saw blade and

outer flange must be observed!

1. Remove the chip case (see "Table

saw mode").

2. Change over to "Crosscut saw

mode".

3. Lower sawhead, turn the locking pin

(76) counter-clockwise by a quarter

turn and lift sawhead slowly into a

horizontal position, until the locking

pin (76) engages.
