sawn in for each angle:
- Set saw blade to minimum cutting depth.
- Open the locking mechanism (1.3) and remo-
ve the bench insert (1.2) upwards.
- Open the locking mechanism (6.1) and swing
the saw blade cover (6.2) down. This auto-
matically 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, com-
ply with all safety instructions.
Adjust the protective hood so that it rests on
the workpiece and clamp it in this position with
the knob (1.11).
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 (489 570) 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
repair, pull the mains plug!
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authori-
sed service centre.
The routers are fitted 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 standstill.
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 remove 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).
