4. Loosen the mitre locking knob
and rotate the fence to set the scale to the required
85
angle (Fig. V3).
5. Tighten the mitre locking knob

.
6. Place the workpiece against the flat surface of the mitre fence. Switch on and, holding the
workpiece firmly, slide the fence along the groove to take the workpiece into the blade.
When the cut is completed, switch off immediately.
Fence Positions, Bench Saw Mode (Fig. W)
•
For ripping thin materials, use the 11 mm profile of the dual height parallel fence and
position the fence opposite the front edge of the riving knife.
•
For ripping thicker materials, use the 62 mm profile of the dual height parallel fence.
•
For cross-cutting narrow and short workpieces (Fig. W):
-
Adjust the parallel fence with the low profile facing the blade and install the rear of the
fence in line with the leading edge of the blade.
-
Set the workpiece against the mitre fence (at 0° or 90°) and push the mitre fence to
make the cut.
-
To prevent small offcut pieces fouling against the blade, prepare a tapered length of
timber and clamp it on the rear edge of the worktable close enough to the right-hand
side of the blade so that successive offcuts feed automatically to the right.
•
For ripping narrow (< 120 mm) and long workpieces:
-
Place the fence in rearmost position to maintain accuracy during long cuts.
-
Push the workpiece with both hands (one on each side of the blade).
-
Use a push stick when close to the blade.
-
Support long workpieces at the outfeed side.
•
For ripping wider (> 120 mm) workpieces:
-
Adjust the fence forward as in figure W if the material being cut tends to jam between
the blade or the riving knife and the fence.

This machine is provided with three dust extraction points for use in mitre mode and two in
bench mode.
•
When sawing wood, always connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with
the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
WARNING: Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance
with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Connect a dust collection device designed in accordance with the relevent regulations. The air
velocity of externally connected systems shall be 20 m/s +/- 2 m/s. Velocity to be measured in
connection tube at the point of connection, with the tool connected but not running.
A seperate dust kit is available as an option (DE3500)

2. Connect the hoses to the three way connector.
connecting - Mitre saw Position
1. Connect one hose to the under-table guard.
2. Connect one hose to the small diameter outlet and one to the large diameter outlet using
the corresponding spouts.
3. Connect the hoses to the 3-way connector.
4. Connect the single outlet of the 3-way connector to the hose from the dust extractor.
connecting - Bench saw Position
1. Connect one hose to the small diameter outlet and one to the large diameter using the
corresponding spouts.
2. Blank off the middle opening of the 3-way connector.
3. Connect both hoses to the outer outlets.
Mitre Saw Extra Support/Length Stop (Fig. A4)
The extra support and length stop can be mounted on the left-hand side or on the right-hand
side, or with two sets on either side.
1. Fit the items
28
–
34
onto the two guide rails
2. Use the swivelling stop
for cross-cutting 210 mm wide boards (15 mm thick).

Roller Support Table (Fig. A5)
In mitre saw mode, the roller support table can be mounted on the left-hand side or on the
right-hand side, or with two sets on either side.
In bench saw mode, it can also be mounted in front or at the rear of the saw table.
Side Extension Table (Fig. A6)
The side extension table increases the distance from the rip fence to the blade to 600 mm or
more, depending on the rod length fitted to the machine and the clamped position of the
table. The side extension table must be used in conjunction with guide rails
The adjustable table is equipped with an engraved scale along its front edge and mounted on
a sturdy base which clamps to the guide rods.
•
Fit the extension table to the right-hand side of the machine for continuity of the distance
scale on both tables.

Transporting
WARNING: Always transport the machine in bench saw mode with the upper blade
guard fitted.
•
Remove the legs.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean the dust collection system.
Before use, carefully check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade guard as well as
the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or
workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage of one of the functions.
In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards disconnect the
machine from the power supply and follow the instructions given in section Mounting the
Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassembling the saw blade.
