Release lever for bevel tilt stop

The blade tilt setting has end stops at 0θ and 45θ. For special bevel cuts (under- cutting) the bevel angle can be increased by 1.5θ in both directions.

ξPull release lever (39) out and turn into vertical position:

the blade bevel can now be set from -1.5θto 46.5θ.

ξSet release lever (39) horizontal and let engage in housing:

blade bevel is now adjustable from 0θ to 45θ.

Rip fence (for ripping):

40

41

For use as rip fence the long fence extrusion (40) must be installed. It is mounted on the guide extrusion at the front of the saw table.

For ripping the fence extrusion (40) must be parallel with the saw blade and locked in position by lock lever (41).

Wing nuts (42) for attaching the fence extrusion. After loosening the two wing nuts (42), the fence extru- sion can be removed and shifted:

18

Small edge:

for cutting thin stock;

when the saw blade is tilted.

Wide edge:

for cutting thick stock (max. 77 mm).

3 Note:

To avoid stock jamming when cutting along the rip fence:

slide rip fence all the way to the right table edge and then back to the required cutting width.

Mitre fence

43

45 44

The mitre fence (44) is inserted into the table slot from the table’s front edge.

For mitre cuts the mitre fence turns to 60° in both directions.

For 45° and 90° miters positive stops are provided.

To set a mitre angle: loosen locking han- dle (43) by turning it counter-clockwise.

ARisk of injury!

When cutting with the mitre fence the handle must be firmly tight- ened.

The auxiliary fence extrusion can be taken off and reversed after loosening knurled nut (45).

Table side extension

The table side extension extents the supporting surface, providing safe sup- port for larger workpieces.

46

ξFor table side extension adjustment the lock lever (46) must be loos- ened.

ARisk of injury!

When cutting the handle must always be firmly tightened.

Scale reading when using the rip fence

On which scale the cutting width is read depends on how the fence extrusion is installed on the rip 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 rip fence's pointer:

Wide edge: cutting width from 0 to 39 cm.

Small edge: cutting width from 0 to 33 cm.

If larger stock is to be cut the table side extension needs to be extended.

1.Move rip fence to the end position of the respective right-hand scale.

2.Pull out table side extension and set to desired cutting width. The cut- tings width is read on the respective left-hand scale at the scale's pointer.

3 Note:

The riving knife has been cor- rectly set at the factory. Readjustment prior to initial operation is only required should the riving knife have become mis- adjusted in transit.

1.Raise saw blade fully.
