7.2 Installing the work clamp
The work clamp can be installed in two
positions:
– For wide workpieces:
insert the work clamp into the rear
hole (33) in the table and secure with
the lock bolt (34):
– For narrow workpieces:
loosen the lock bolt (32) and insert
the front part of the work clamp into
the front hole (35) in the table:
7.3 Mains connection
B
Danger! High voltage
Operate the saw only on a power
source matching the following require-
ments (see also the chapter on "Tech-
nical Specifications"):
– mains voltage and system frequency
conform to the voltage and frequency
shown on the machine's nameplate;
– fuse protection by a residual current
operated device (RCD) of 30mA sen-
sitivity;
– Outlets properly installed, earthed
and tested.
Make sure that the mains cable is out

of the way so that it does not interfere
with the work and cannot be dam-
aged.
Use only rubber cables of sufficient

cross section (3 × 1.5 mm
sion cables.
Use an extension for outdoor areas.

Only use approved and appropriately
marked extension cables outdoors.
Avoid inadvertent starting. Make sure

that the switch is switched off when
inserting the plug into the socket.

8. Operation

Before starting any work, check to

see that the safety devices are in
proper working order.
Assume proper operating position:

– at the front of the saw;
– facing the saw;
– to the side of the line of the saw
blade.
A
Danger!
When sawing ensure that the work-
piece is always clamped with the work
clamp.
Never saw workpieces which cannot

be clamped with the work clamp.
A
Risk of crushing!
When tilting or swivelling the sawhead
do not reach into the axis area of the
sawhead holder or under the machine!
Hold the sawhead securely when tilt-

ing.
14
When working use the following:

– work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off the
table on completion of the cut;
– chip bag or dust extractor.
Cut only stock of dimensions that al-

low for safe and secure holding while
cutting.
Always hold the workpiece down on

the table and do not twist it. Do not at-
tempt to stop the saw blade by exert-
ing lateral pressure to it. Risk of injury
if the saw blade is blocked.
8.1 Standard Cross Cuts
Starting position
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Rotating table in 0° position, lock
screw of the rotating table tightened.
– Motorhead in vertical (90) position,
bevel tilt locking lever tightened.
Cutting the workpiece
1. Press the workpiece against the
fence and clamp with work clamp.
2. Activate the safety lock (18) and
press and hold down the ON/OFF
trigger switch (19).
3. Slowly swing the sawhead fully
down, holding the handle firmly.
When sawing, exert only moderate
pressure to prevent the motor speed
2 from dropping too much.
) as exten-
4. Cut workpiece in a single pass.
5. Release the ON/OFF switch and let
the sawhead slowly return to its up-
per starting position.
8.2 Mitre Cuts
Starting position
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Motorhead in vertical (90) position,
bevel tilt locking lever tightened.
Cutting the workpiece
1. Loosen the lock screw (10) of the ro-
tating table (12).
2. Set to desired angle.
3. Tighten the rotating table's lock
screw.
4. Cut workpiece as described under
"Standard Cross Cuts".
8.3 Bevel Cuts
Starting position
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Rotating table in 0° position, lock
screw of the rotating table tightened.
Cutting the workpiece
1. Loosen the lock lever (6) for saw-
head tilt at the rear of the saw.
2. Tilt the sawhead slowly into the de-
sired position (29).
3. Tighten the sawhead tilt lock lever.
4. Cut workpiece as described under
"Standard Cross Cuts".
8.4 Compound mitre cuts
3
Note:
The compound mitre cut is a combina-
tion of mitre and bevel cuts. This
means the workpiece is cut at an angle
other than 90° against the rear guide
edge and against its surface.
A
Danger!
When cutting compound mitres the saw
blade is much more exposed than nor-
mally – increased risk of injury. Always
maintain a sufficient distance to the
saw blade.
Starting position
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Rotary table locked in desired posi-
tion.
– Track arm holder tilted to desired an-
gle to the workpiece's surface and
locked in place.
Cutting the workpiece
Cut workpiece as described under

"Standard Cross Cuts".

9. Care and Maintenance

A
Danger!
Unplug before servicing.
– Repair and maintenance work other
than described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists.
– Damaged parts, particularly safety
devices, must only be replaced with
genuine parts. Parts which have not
been tested and released by the man-
ufacturer can lead to unforeseen
damage.
– Check that all safety devices are op-
erational again after each service.
9.1 Saw blade change
A
Burn hazard!
Directly after cutting the saw blade can
be very hot – burn hazard! Let a hot
saw blade cool down. Do not clean a
hot saw blade with combustible liquids.
A
Cutting hazard - even when
saw blade is at a standstill!
During loosening and tightening of the
arbor bolt, the retractable blade guard
must encompass the saw blade. Wear
gloves when changing blades.
1. Stop the sawhead in the upper posi-
tion.
