ENGLISH
4. Cut workpiece as described under
"Standard Cross Cuts".

8.5 Compound mitre cuts

3
Note:
The compound mitre cut is a combina-
tion of mitre and bevel cuts. This
means the workpiece is cut at an angle
other than 90° against the rear guide
edge and against its surface.
A
Danger!
When cutting compound mitres the saw
blade is much more exposed than nor-
mally – increased risk of injury. Always
maintain a sufficient distance to the
saw blade.
Starting position:
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Deactivate cutting depth limiter.
– Rotary table locked in desired position.
– Track arm holder tilted to desired an-
gle to the workpiece's surface and
locked in place.
– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.
– Track arm not extended.
Cutting the workpiece:
Cut workpiece as described under

"Standard Cross Cuts".
8.6 Grooving
3
Note:
Together with the track arm, the cutting
depth limiter makes grooving possible.
With grooving no parting cut is made,
but the workpiece is cut to a certain
depth only.
A
Risk of kickback!
When grooving it is especially important
no lateral pressure is applied to the saw
blade. Otherwise the sawhead may be
kicked up abruptly! Use a stock clamp
when grooving. Avoid lateral pressure
on the sawhead.
Starting position:
– Transport locking pin pulled out.
– Sawhead fully raised.
– Sawhead tilted to desired angle
against the workpiece's surface and
locked.
– Rotary table locked in desired position.
– Lock screw of the track arm loosened.
– Track arm not extended.
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Set the cutting depth limiter (44) to
the desired cutting depth and secure
with the lock nut (45):
2. Release the safety lock and swing
the sawhead down to check the set
cutting depth:

3. Make a trial cut.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 3 if necessary
until the desired cutting depth has
been set.
5. Cut workpiece as described under
"Standard Cross Cuts".

9. Care and Maintenance

A
Danger!
Unplug before servicing.
– Repair and maintenance work other
than described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists.
– Damaged parts, particularly safety
devices, must only be replaced with
genuine parts. Parts which have not
been tested and released by the man-
ufacturer can lead to unforeseen
damage.
– Check that all safety devices are op-
erational again after each service.

9.1 Saw blade change

A
Burn hazard!
Directly after cutting the saw blade can
be very hot – burn hazard! Let a hot
saw blade cool down. Do not clean a
hot saw blade with combustible liquids.
A
Cutting hazard - even when
saw blade is at a standstill!
During loosening and tightening of the
arbor bolt, the retractable blade guard
must encompass the saw blade. Wear
gloves when changing blades.
1. Stop the sawhead in the upper posi-
tion.
2. To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob (25) while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
3. Unscrew arbor bolt (46) on saw
spindle with hex key (left-hand
thread!).
4. Release safety lock (26), push retract-
able blade guard (24) up and hold.
5. Carefully remove outer blade flange
(47) and saw blade from saw spindle
and close retractable blade guard
again.
A
Danger!
Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to re-
move resin residue) that could corrode
the light metal components of the saw;
the stability of the saw would be ad-
versely affected.
6. Clean clamping surfaces of:
– saw spindle (48),
– saw blade,
– outer blade flange (47) and
– inner blade flange (49).
A
Danger!
Fit the inner blade flange correctly! Oth-
erwise the saw may be blocked or the
saw blade could work loose! The inner
blade flange is positioned correctly
when the spring ring groove points to
the saw blade and the flat side points to
the motor.
7. Put the inner blade flange (49) on
the saw spindle.
8. Release safety lock, push retracta-
ble blade guard up and hold.
9. Mount new saw blade – observe di-
rection of rotation: viewed from the
left (open) side, the arrow on the saw
blade must correspond with the direc-
tion of arrow (50) on the blade cover!
A
Danger!
Use only saw blades conforming to
standards and which are designed for
the maximum speed (see 'Technical
Data') – when unsuitable or damaged
saw blades are used, parts might be
hurled away explosively by the centrifu-
gal force.
Do not use:
– saw blades made of high speed steel
(HSS);
– damaged saw blades;
– cutoff wheel blades.
A
Danger!
– Mount saw blade using only genuine
parts.
– Do not use loose-fitting reduction
rings; the saw blade could work itself
loose.
– Saw blades have to be mounted in
such a way that they do not wobble or
run out of balance and cannot work
loose during operation.
10. Close the retractable blade guard
again.
11. Slide the outer blade flange on – the
plain side must point towards the
motor!
12. Insert the arbor bolt (left-hand
thread!) and hand-tighten it.
To keep the saw blade from turning
press the lock knob while at the
same time turning the saw blade by
hand until the blade lock engages.
A
Danger!
– Do not extend arbor bolt spanner.
– Do not tighten arbor bolt by hitting the
assembly spanner.
13. Tighten the arbor bolt.
14. Check the function. To do this re-
lease the safety lock (26) and swing
the crosscut saw down:
