Working Instructions

Before all work on the machine, pull the power
plug.
General Sawing Instruction
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that
the saw blade at no time can come in con
tact with the fence, screw clamp or other
machine parts. Remove possible interfer
ing auxiliary stops or adjust them accord
ingly.
Do not load the machine so heavily that it comes to a
standstill.
Advancing that is too fast reduces considerably the
performance capability of the electro tool and reduces
the service life of the saw blade.
Use only sharp saw blades that are suitable for the ma
terial being worked.
Hand Positioning
Keep fingers, hands and arms away from the rotating
saw blade. (see Figure )
O
Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.

Special Work Pieces
When sawing curved or round work pieces, they must
be especially secured against slipping. At the cutting
line, no gap may exist between the work piece and the
fence or saw table.
In case necessary, a special fixture must be fabricated.
Table Insert
The red table insert 8 can become worn after long us
age of the electro tool.
Replace a defective table insert.
Place the electro tool in the working position.
Unscrew the screws 46 with the Phillips screwdriver
provided. (see Figure
Insert the new table insert 8 and screw in all screws 46
again.
Set the vertical bevel angle to 0° and saw a slot in the
table insert.
Then set the vertical bevel angle to 45° and again saw
into the slot. With this procedure, it is ensured that the
table insert is as close as possible to the teeth of the
saw blade without coming in contact with them.
