6.6
Scale for cutting width
The two scales (1.5) specify the cutting width for
longitudinal cuts.
If required, the scales can be realigned after open-
ing the screws (1.4).
6.7
Mounting the splinterguard
The splinterguard (10.2) prevents breakouts on
the lower cutting edge of the workpiece.
The splinterguard can be used for all mitres, but
a separate splinterguard must be fi tted and sawn
in for each angle:
- Set saw blade to minimum cutting depth.
- Open the locking mechanism (1.3) and remove
the bench insert (1.2) upwards.
- Open the locking mechanism (6.1) and swing the
saw blade cover (6.2) down. This automatically
locks the tool spindle.
- Push splinterguard (10.2) from the side into the
holder (10.3) up to the stop.
- Swing the saw blade cover (6.2) upwards and
close the locking mechanism (6.1).
- Insert the bench insert with the rear edge fi rst
(see Fig. 9) and close the locking mechanism
(1.3).
- Switch on tool and slowly move the saw blade
up to the maximum cutting depth – this cuts the
splinterguard to shape.
For a optimum function the raised part (10.1) of
the splinterguard should protrude slightly (approx.
0.3 mm) above the surface of the base runner. For
this purpose the height of the holder (10.3) can be
adjusted after releasing both screws (10.4).

Working with the machine
When working with the machine, comply
with all safety instructions.
Adjust the protective hood so that it rests on the
workpiece and clamp it in this position with the
knob (1.1).
7.1
Bench-mounted circular saw
Use the guide as a parallel guide (Fig. 1) to guide
the workpiece. The cutting width can be set using
the scales (1.5). Guide the workpiece into place by
hand. Use the workpiece holder (2.4) to guide the
workpiece safety past the saw blade. When not in
use, place the work-piece holder in the storage
compartment (2.1).
7.2
Circular trimming saw
Use the guide as a cross guide or as an angle
guide (Fig. 3) to apply and secure the work-piece.
Alternatively, clamps (489570) can be inserted in
the grooves (3.8) to secure the workpiece. Perform
the sawing cut by swinging the hand grip (3.9)
downwards and using the hand grip to pull the
saw unit forwards. After making the sawing cut,
move the saw unit right back again into its initial
position before you take the workpiece from the
guide.

Maintenance and care
Prior to any setting, maintenance or re-
pair, pull the mains plug!
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.
Damaged safety devices and parts should
be repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre unless otherwise specifi ed
in the operating instructions.
The routers are fi tted with special carbon brushes
with automatic-switch-off. When the brushes
reach their wear limit the current is interrupted
automatically and the router comes to a stand-
still.
Service your machine regularly to ensure that it
functions properly:
- Vacuum off dust deposits
- Keep the guide bars (1.10) clean and grease
them regularly
- A worn or damaged bench insert is to be re-
placed
- The slider (11.1) can be used to open the hatch
(11.3) to enable removal of cutting residues
from the lower protective cover. In order to re-
move larger deposits, the hatch can be opened
completely by removing the screw (11.2). Prior
to commissioning, the hatch must be closed
again!
- On completion of your work, wind the power
cable around the holders (2.1).
- A damper means that the saw unit runs back
evenly across the entire drawing length. If this
is not the case, the damper can be adjusted
through the hole (2.5).
