attached with restricted rotation. Please make sure it is prop-
erly seated when you insert the limit stop.

10.1.2. Rough adjustment of the longitudinal stop

The rough adjustment simply by shifting the longitudinal stop
without using the scale 5 (fig. 10b) is sufficient for many
cases.
When you shift the longitudinal stop, please make sure that
both fixing options locking handle 3 and knurled screw 4 are
released!
Once the desired position is achieved, the longitudinal stop is
arrested by tightening the knurled screw 4 and then clamped
with the locking handle 3.
10.1.3. Adjusting the longitudinal stop with the help of
the scale
1. When you shift the limit stop, please make sure that the
locking handle 3 and knurled screw 4 are released.
2. The longitudinal stop can now be shifted in its guide using
the help of the scale 5. The position can be read from the
left front limit stop edge 6, see fig. 10 c. Caution: The read
value will only agree if the „zero position" of scale 5 is cor-
rect! How to correctly adjust the zero position of the scale
is described in the section „Adjusting the limit stop scale".
3. Arrest the longitudinal stop by tightening knurled screw 4
and then clamping the locking handle 3.

10.1.3.1. Adjusting the limit stop scale (zero position)

For the reliable use of the scale 5 for the longitudinal stop, its
position must first be co-ordinated to the saw blade – there-
fore „zeroised". This process is absolutely necessary after
the saw blade has been replaced with a saw blade of differ-
ent thickness, or if the limit stop was finely adjusted (see sec-
tion „Fine adjustment of the longitudinal stop") at the knurled
screw 7 (fig. 10d).
Make sure the mains plug is disconnected for all adjusting
work!
1. Make sure that locking handle 3 and knurled screw 4 are
released.
2. Move the longitudinal stop 1 with the left edge 6 over the
„0" marking of the scale (either left or right from the saw
blade, depending on what is needed for the task) as
shown in fig. 10d and fix the position by tightening knurled
screw 4.
3. By turning the fine adjustment knob 7 bring the scale with
its arrested longitudinal stop into the position where the
side of the longitudinal stop facing the saw blade just
barely touches the saw blade. Please carefully lift the saw
blade guard 8 to do so, if necessary!
Now the distance between the saw blade and limit stop is „0"
as shown by the scale.
The limit stop can now be aligned with the help of the scale,
as described in the section „Adjusting the longitudinal stop
with the help of the scale": The value read from the scale
now corresponds exactly to the distance longitudinal stop –
saw blade and thus the desired width of the work piece.
Caution!
It is possible that before adjustment in the zero position, the
scale is in a position where the longitudinal stop already
touches the saw blade before the left limit stop edge has
reached the „0" position on the scale. In this case simply cor-
rect the scale position with the fine adjustment knob 7.

10.1.4. Fine adjustment of the longitudinal stop

If after the sawing process it is necessary to make minor
changes to the position of the limit stop (despite previous
careful adjustment) to achieve the desired width, it is possi-
ble to move the limit stop for a small amount in the desired
direction with the fine adjustment knob 7, see fig. 10d.
Please note: One complete revolution will move the limit stop
by 1 mm!
Caution! For this procedure, the lock handle 3 must be
released, but the knurled screw 4 must be tightened. After
adjustment is completed, the limit stop must be tightened
with locking handle 3 to continue sawing!

10.2. Auxiliary stop

Appropriate use of the auxiliary stop is made to be able to
easily cut somewhat larger work pieces as well. For this, the
saw table must be extended first, as described in the chapter
„Extendable saw table"; but the limit stop edge is not „sunk" in
the extendable part by „pressing in" but simply stays outside.
The distance to the saw blade determines the sawing width,
which can therefore be varied depending on by how much
the saw table is pushed in, or extended. To saw, always fix
the limit stop by tightening the knurled screw. See fig. 8b.

10.3. Angle stop

If it is necessary to cut a board at right angles, or a strip with
mitre cut, then this can be sawn by using the angle stop. This
runs in the guides provided either on the right or on the left of
the saw blade, as required.
1. Insert the angle stop in the guide 1 to the right or left of
the saw blade, see fig. 11.
2. Release knurled screw 2, set the desired angle at the
scale 3 and retighten the knurled screw.
10.4. Working with the limit stop strip with clamping
piece for angle stop
Ideal, e.g. if many strips will be cut with mitre and equal
length, see fig. 12. The limit stop strip is connected to the
angle stop 2 to do this. The clamping piece 3 is used as
length stop.

10.4.1. Assembly and adjustment

Push the limit stop strip 1 into the guide of the angle stop 2
(see fig. 13a/b) and insert together in the guide in the saw
table. Caution! The knurled screw must be in the „released"
position otherwise the limit stop cannot be inserted.
Caution!
