Fitting individual components

  • Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from their packaging.
  • Remove all packing material from the power tool and the accessories provided.
  • Make sure that you remove the packaging material beneath the motor block.

The following parts of the tool are attached directly to the housing: Push stick (7), ring spanner (23), hex key (9), parallel guide (27) with folding additional parallel guide (8), angle guide (1), profile rail (29), length stop (31), protective cover (3), dust extraction adapter (34).

  • If you require one of these parts, remove it carefully from its storage location.

Note: If necessary, clean all parts to be fitted before you position them.

  • Turn the crank (20) clockwise as far as possible so that the saw blade (28) is in the highest possible position above the saw table.
  • Release the clamping lever (36) clockwise until it points upwards.
  • Slide the riving knife (5) towards the clamping lever (36) until it can be pulled upwards.
  • Pull the riving knife all the way up until it is positioned exactly over the centre of the saw blade.
  • Allow both positioning pins (37) to engage in the lower bore holes in the riving knife and then retighten the clamping lever (36).
    The markings (38) on the clamping plate and clamping lever (36) must be aligned as shown.

  • Hook the table insert (6) into the rear recess of the tool chamber and guide it down.
  • Press down on the table insert until it engages in the tool chamber.
  • Turn the locking screw (39) as far as it will go in the "Lock" direction using the tip of the ring spanner (23).

Note: Only fit the protective cover when the riving knife is in the top position directly over the centre of the saw blade (see figure a2). Do not fit the protective cover when the riving knife is in the bottom position (position when delivered/position for sawing grooves) (see figure a1).

  • Loosen the clamping lever (40) and remove the protective cover (3) from the bracket (10).
  • Push the guide pin (41) backwards into the groove on the riving knife (5).
  • Move the protective cover (3) down until the saw blade guard (upper plastic rail) is parallel with the surface of the saw table (2).
  • Push the clamping lever (40) up. The clamping lever must be felt and heard to engage; the protective cover (3) must be securely and safely fitted.
  • Always check that the blade guard can move properly before use. Do not use the power tool if the blade guard cannot move freely and does not close immediately.

 

The parallel guide (27) can be positioned at fixed points on either the left or the right of the saw blade. The three pairs of pins (43), (44), (45) are used for this purpose.

  • Make sure that the clamping handle (25) fixes the saw table expansion in place (clamping handle pressed down).
  • Loosen the locking levers (42) on the parallel guide (27).
  • Position the notches on the parallel guide (27) above one of the three pin pairs (43), (44), (45). The folding additional parallel stop (8) must be facing away from the protective cover (3).
  • Fold the locking levers (42) down on both sides to fix the parallel guide in place.

 

  • Push the rail (46) of the angle guide (1) into one of the guide grooves (47) provided in the saw table.

To make it easier to position long workpieces, the angle guide can be extended with the profile rail (29).

  • If necessary, fit the profile rail (29) on the angle guide using the knurled screw (48).

The length stop (31) can be used for easily sawing workpieces to the same length.

  • Slide the length stop (31) onto the profile rail (29) and tighten the wing nuts (30) to fix it in place.
