Operation
9.1 Laser operation (fig. 18)
• Switching on:Press the laser ON/OFF switch (33)
1x. A laser line is projected onto the workpiece to be
cut, indicating the exact cutting path.
• Switching off:Press the laser ON/OFF switch (33)
again.
9.2 Restricting the cutting depth (sawing groove)
(fig. 3/13)
m WARNING
Risk of kick-back! When making grooves, it is par-
ticularly important that no lateral pressure is ex-
erted on the saw blade. Otherwise the saw head
could suddenly kick up! Use a clamping device
when making grooves. Avoid lateral pressure on
the saw head.
• The cutting depth can be seamlessly adjusted with
the screw (24). To do so, loosen the knurled nut
on the screw (24a). Set the desired cutting depth
by screwing in or unscrewing the screw (24). Then
retighten the knurled nut (24a) on the screw (24).
• Check the setting with a test cut.
9.3 Serial cutting
For repeated cuts of the same length, the length stop
(37) can be opened. You can use the length stop (37)
on the right and on the left.
• Fold up the length stop (37).
• Open the locking lever for workpiece support (9).
• Pull out the workpiece support (8).
• Set the required dimension between saw blade and
length stop (37).
• Re-tighten the locking lever for workpiece support
(9).
• Perform cutting as described in sections 9.4 to 9.7.
9.4 Chop cut 90° and rotary table 0° (fig. 1/2/7)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 90 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in chop cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 90 mm then it is necessary to
ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the machine
head (4) can move.
Attention!
For 90° chop cuts, the moveable stop rails (16a) must
be fixed in the inner position.

• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop
rails (16a) and push the moveable stop rails (16a)
inwards.
• The moveable stop rails (16a) must be locked so that
the distance between the stop rails (16a) and the
saw blade (6) is no more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rails (16a) and the saw blade
(6).
• Tighten the locking screws (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to the upper position.
• Use the handle (1) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent on
the cutting width).
• Place the wood to be cut against the stop rail (16)
and on the rotary table (14).
• Secure the material with the clamping device (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent it from shifting
during the cutting process.
• Unlock the locking switch (3) and press the on/off
switch (2) to switch the motor on.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place:use the han-
dle (1) to move the machine head (4) steadily and
with light pressure downwards until the saw blade (6)
has completely cut through the work piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place:pull the
machine head (4) all the way to the front. Lower the
handle (1) to the very bottom by applying steady and
light downward pressure. Now push the machine
head (4) slowly and steadily to the very back until the
saw blade (6) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• When the sawing process is finished, return the ma-
chine head to the upper resting position and release
the ON/OFF switch (2).
Attention! The return spring automatically raises
the machine. Do not let go of the handle (1) after
finishing cutting but move the machine head slowly
upwards with light counter-pressure.
9.5 90° chop cut and rotary table 0°- 50°
(fig. 1/7/8)
The sliding cross-cut mitre saw can be used for angled
cuts of 0°-50° to the left and right.
Attention!
For 90° chop cuts, the moveable stop rails (16a) must
be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop
rails (16a) and push the moveable stop rails (16a)
inwards.
