Assembly and Operation

ON/OFF Switch (1)

To turn the machine ON, push the green button and to turn off the machine, press the red button.
The ON/OFF switch is a safety switch with low voltage circuit breaker. The construction of the
switch makes sure that the machine will not accidentally restart after power failure.

Dust Extraction

On the back side of the housing is the dust extraction flange. With a suitable adaptor you can
connect the dust bag, a dust extractor or a vacuum cleaner. Do not use the saw without some kind
of dust catching or dust extraction system.

Operation as a Crosscut and Mitre Saw

Set the machine up as a crosscut and mitre saw as described above in the chapter "Converting
the Saw".
When using the machine a mitre saw, set the cutting angle along both axes. To do so, loosen the
turnknob (6) and turn the rotatable table until the indicator on the forward degree scale is set to
zero. Secure the rotatable table by tightening the turnknob. Loosen the turnknob (18) and set the
mitre angle using the rear scale. Secure the upper part of the saw by tightening the turnknob.
Secure the workpiece with the clamp (4). Carefully stay away from the spinning saw blade. Make
sure the saw blade can not touch any of the fences and adjust the fences if necessary.
If you intend to cut a curved work piece, make sure
the work piece is not bent against the fence. Make
right
sure no gap forms between the work piece, the
fence and the base plate.
Long workpieces must be supported in a suitable
way, e.g. on a support equipped with rollers. Avoid
holding or guiding workpieces in a way which
compromises your balance.
To cut, operate the ON/OFF switch (1) before
pressing down the upper part of the saw. When the
machine has reached full speed, press the locking
button (2) and press down the upper part of the saw by the handle. Whenever possible, cut
through the workpiece with a single, even motion. Irregularly shaped workpieces can cause the
upper part to kick back up unexpectedly, therefore hold the handle with a firm grip.

Operation as a Table Saw

Set the machine up as a table saw as described above in the chapter "Converting the Saw".
When using the machine as a table saw, always set the table to the lowest position. The table is
equipped with a scale for positioning the parallel fence (12). The parallel fence is fixed in place
with the knobs. The upper safety hood lifts automatically when a workpiece is pushed under it.
Operate the ON/OFF switch (1) and allow the machine to rev up to full speed before you start
cutting. Move the workpiece at an even pace with moderate speed over the table. Long
workpieces must be supported in a suitable way, e.g. on a support equipped with rollers. Avoid
holding or guiding workpieces in a way which compromises your balance.
