§ All the covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched
on.
§ It must be possible for the saw blade to run freely.
§ When working with wood that has been processed before, watch out for foreign bodies
such as nails or screws etc.
§ Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and
that the machine's moving parts run smoothly.
§ Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make sure the data on the rating
plate is the same as that for your mains.
9.2 Setting up the saw unit (Fig. 1/2)
§ To adjust the turntable (8), loosen the locking handle (10) by approx. 2 turns, which frees
the turntable (8).
§ Turn the turntable (8) and scale pointer (11) to the desired angular setting on the dial (12)
and lock into place with the locking handle (10).
§ Lightly press the machine head (4) down while at the same time pulling the retaining pin
(16) out from the motor mounting; this causes the saw to move down to the lower working
position.
§ Swing the machine head (4) up until the retaining hook latches into place.
§ The clamping device (19) and the workpiece support (20) can be fastened on both right
and left sides of the base plate (9).
§ By loosening the tightening screw (13), the machine head (4) can be angled to the left up
to 45°.
10 OPERATION
10.1 Making 90° crosscuts with turntable at 0° (Fig. 1/3)
For cutting widths up to 100 mm it is possible to fix the saw's drag function with the knurled
screw (14) in rear position. If the cutting width exceeds 100 mm you must ensure that the
knurled screw (14) is slackened and that the machine head (4) can be moved.
§ Bring the machine head (4) to its upper position.
§ Push the machine head (4) back by its handle (2) and affix in this position if necessary
(depending on the cutting width).
§ Place the piece of wood to be cut against the stop rail (7) and on the turntable (8).
§ Secure the workpiece in position with the clamping device (19) on the base plate (9) to
prevent the workpiece from moving during the cutting process.
§ Turn the release lever (1) to the left to release the machine head (4).
§ Push the ON/OFF switch (3) to start the motor. Using the handle (2), push downward all
the way through the work-piece with uniform and light pressure.
§ After the cutting process is finished, bring the machine head back to its upper (home)
position and release the ON/OFF button (3).
Caution! The resetting springs in the machine automatically raise the
machine head. Do not simply let go of the handle (2) after cutting, but allow
the machine head to slowly lift up by applying slight counterpressure.
10.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut 90° (Fig. 4/5)
§ Lower the machine head (4) and fasten in place with the safety pin (16).
§ Slacken the tightening screw (13).
§ Place the angular stop (a) between the blade (5) and the turntable (8).
§ Slacken the counternut and adjust the adjustment screw (21) until the angle between the
blade (5) and the turntable (8) equals 90°.
§ Retighten the counternut to secure this setting.
