Press the clamping lever (12) downwards to
do this.

– The fence extrusion (37) must be, together with
the ripping fence, parallel with the saw blade
and locked in position by the clamping lever (12)
during the sawing process. Press the clamping
lever (12) downwards to do this.
– Knurled nuts (38) for attaching the fence
extrusion. After loosening the two knurled nuts
(38), the fence extrusion can be removed and
shifted:

Small edge:
– for cutting thin stock;
– when the saw blade is tilted.
Wide edge:
– for cutting heigh workpieces.
8.5 Adjusting pointer on ripping fence
1. Align ripping fence with saw blade.
2. Loosen ripping fence pointer fixing screw.
3. Bring pointer on ripping fence and "0" on scale
into alignment.
4. Retighten ripping fence pointer fixing screw.
Note:
To avoid the workpiece jamming when cutting
along the ripping fence:
Slide ripping fence all the way to the right table
edge and then back to the required cutting width.
Note:
Adjust ripping fence (if necessary): To prevent the
workpiece from jamming between parallel stop
and saw blade, the ripping fence must be aligned
to the saw blade,
or set to a max. of 0.3 mm opening to the rear. To
adjust it, release the 2 screws on the upper side
of the parallel stop and then tighten again.
Note:
Adjust the clamping force of the ripping fence (if
required): In case the rear clamping piece should
engage earlier or later than the front clamping
piece, this can be set by turning the nut (24).
Loosen the nut (24) so that the rear clamping
piece clamps later. Tighten the nut (24) so that
the rear clamping piece clamps earlier.
8.6 Setting mitre fence
The mitre fence (3) is inserted into the table slot
from the table's front edge.
12
For mitre cuts the mitre fence turns to 60° in both
directions.
For 45° and 90° mitre cuts, appropriate stops are
provided.
To set a mitre angle: loosen locking handle (8) by
turning it counter-clockwise.
Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre fence the handle
must be firmly tightened.
The auxiliary fence extrusion can be taken off and
reversed after loosening knurled nut (39).
8.7 Adjusting table side extension
The table width extension (9) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
larger workpieces.

 The clamping lever (9) has to be released to
adjust the table width extension (10).
(Use the rear clamping lever to adjust the left
table width extension. Use the front clamping
lever to adjust the right table width extension.)
Risk of injury!
When cutting with the mitre fence the handle
must be firmly tightened.
Scale reading when using the ripping fence
On which scale the cutting width is read depends
on how the fence extrusion is installed on the
ripping fence:
– Wide edge =
scale with black numerals on white background.
– Small edge =
scale with white numerals on black background.
For small cutting widths the table side extension
is not extended. The cuttings width is read on the
respective right-hand scale at the ripping fence's
pointer:
– Wide edge: cutting width from 0 to 25 cm.
– Small edge: cutting width from 0 to 18.5 cm.
If larger workpieces are to be cut, the table width
extension (9) needs to be extended.
1. Shift ripping fence to the end position on the
scale.
2. Pull out table side extension and set ripping
fence to desired cutting width. The cuttings
width is read on the respective left-hand scale
at the scale's pointer.
8.8 Adjusting table extension
The table length extension (2) extends the
supporting surface, providing safe support for
longer workpieces.
1. To pull out the table length extension, both
knurled screws (40) must be released.

2. Withdraw table length extension and set to
desired distance.
3. Retighten both knurled screws.
8.9 Sawing
Danger!
Always use push stick if distance between
saw blade and ripping fence is less than
120 mm.

Straight cut
1. Set blade tilt and lock in position.
2. Set depth of cut. The blade guard must rest
with its front edge on the workpiece.
3. With the saw blade inclined, fix the parallel
guide to the left of the saw blade and set it.
4. Start saw.
5. Push the workpiece in a steady motion
towards the rear and cut in a single pass.
6. Switch the machine off if no further cutting is to
be done immediately afterwards.
Mitre cuts
1. The mitre fence (3) is inserted into the table
slot from the table's front edge.
2. Set desired angle after loosening the mitre
fence's clamping handle (8) and retighten
clamping handle.
3. Adjust lateral distance between auxiliary fence
and saw blade:
Release knurled nut (39) and move auxiliary
fence as required.
Tighten knurled nut (39).
39
4. Hold the workpiece firmly against mitre fence.
5. Cut the workpiece by pushing the mitre fence
forward.
6. Switch the machine off if no further cutting is to
be done immediately afterwards.
