• The moveable stop rail (27a) must be locked in a posi-
tion far enough from the inner position that the distance
between the stop rail (27a) and the saw blade (5) is no
more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could oc-
cur between the stop rail (27a) and the saw blade (5).
• Secure the locking lever (27b) again.
• Pressing the machine head lightly downwards and re-
moving the locking bolt (26) from the motor bracket at
the same time disengages the saw from the lowest posi-
tion.
• Swing the machine head up until the release lever (3)
latches into place.
• Lift the saw unit by the handle (2) until it locks in place in
the top position.
• Press the workpiece evenly on the stop strips (27); make
sure that you hand remains outside the cutting area of
the saw blade.
• Lock the material with the clamping device (10) on the
fixed saw table to prevent the material from moving dur-
ing the cutting operation.
• With your right hand on the handle (2), press the locking
lever (3) so that the unit can also be pivoted downward.
• The motor starts when the start button (1) is pressed.
• Slowly bring the saw blade down to the workpiece and
cut through it with moderate pressure.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the ma-
chine head back to its upper (home) position and release
the ON/OFF button (1).
Attention! The machine executes an upward stroke
automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do not release
the handle (2) after completing the cut; instead allow the
machine head to move upwards slowly whilst applying light
counter pressure.
Mitre cut 0°- 45° (Fig. 1, 1.3, 3)
The crosscut saw can be used to make mitre cuts of 0° -
45° in relation to the work face.
Important! To make miter cuts (inclined saw head), the
adjustable stop rail (27a) must be fixed at the outer posi-
tion.
• Open the set screw (27b) for the adjustable stop rail
(27a) with an Allen key and push the adjustable stop rail
outwards.
• The adjustable stop rail (27a) must be fixed far enough in
front of the innermost position that the distance between
the stop rail (27a) and the saw blade (5) amounts to a
maximum of 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (27a) and
the saw blade (5) cannot collide.
• Secure the locking lever (27b) again.
• Move the machine head to the top position.
• Fix the rotary table (9) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the set screw (23) and use the handle (2) to an-
gle the machine head to the left, until the pointer (25)
indicates the desired angle measurement on the scale
(24).
• Re-tighten the fixing screw (23).
• Cut as described in section "Cross-cutting".

Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45°
The crosscut saw can be used to make mitre cuts to the left
of 0°- 45° in relation to the work face and, at the same
time, 0° - 45° to the left or 0° - 45° to the right in relation
to the stop rail (double mitre cut).
Important! To make miter cuts (inclined saw head), the
adjustable stop rail (27a) must be fixed at the outer posi-
tion.
• Open the set screw (27b) for the adjustable stop rail
(27a) with an Allen key and push the adjustable stop rail
outwards.
• The adjustable stop rail (27a) must be fixed far enough in
front of the innermost position that the distance between
the stop rail (27a) and the saw blade (5) amounts to a
maximum of 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (27a) and
the saw blade (5) cannot collide.
• Secure the locking lever (27b) again.
• Move the machine head to its upper position.
• Release the rotary table (9) by loosening the set screw
(21).
• Using the handle (2), set the rotary table (9) to the de-
sired angle.
• Retighten the set screw (21) in order to secure the rotary
table.
• Undo the locking screw (23)
• Use the handle (2) to tilt the machine head to the left un-
til it coincides with the required angle value.
• Retighten the fixing screw (23).
• Cut as described in section "Cross-cutting".
Saw blade replacement (Fig. 5)
• Pull out the mains plug.
• Place the saw unit in „cross-cutting" position
• Unlock the moving saw blade guard (6) by pressing the
locking lever (3 - Fig. 1); in the process, raise the saw
blade guard so that the saw blade is free.
• Actuate the spindle lock (22 - Fig. 3).
• Loosen the saw blade fastening screw (28) - (Atten-
tion: left-handed thread).
• Remove the screw (28) and saw blade flange (29).
• Carefully remove the saw blade (risk of injury from the
saw blade teeth).
• Place a new saw blade on the inner saw blade flange. In
the process, observe the rotational direction of the saw
blade.
• Fit the outer saw blade flange and firmly tighten the
screw.
• Move the saw blade guard back to the correct position.
Replacing laser batteries (Fig. 6)
• Remove the laser battery cover (30). Remove the 2 bat-
teries.
• Replace both batteries with the same or an equivalent
type. Make sure that they are inserted with the same po-
larity as the used batteries.
• Close the battery cover.
