Checking and adjusting the basic settings

Checking (see figure J1)

• Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the saw table (2).

The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the saw blade (28) along its entire length.

Setting (see figure J2)

• Loosen the lock nut of the stop screw (17) using a commercially available box-ended or open-ended spanner.
• Loosen the locking lever (19).
• Push the handwheel (18) against the stop screw (17) and turn the stop screw as far in or out as needed until the leg of the angle gauge is flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
• Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the locking lever (19).
• Retighten the lock nut of the stop screw (17).

If the angle indicator (56) is not aligned with the 0° mark on the scale (21) following adjustment, loosen the screw (60) using a commercially available cross-headed screwdriver and align the angle indicator along the 0° mark.

Repeat the above work steps for the bevel angle of 45° (loosen the lock nut; adjust the stop screw (22)). The angle indicator (56) must not be repositioned when doing this.

Checking

• Use a pencil to mark the first left-hand saw tooth that is visible at the back above the table insert.
• Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the edge of the guide groove (47).
• Move the leg of the angle gauge until it touches the marked saw tooth and read the distance between the saw blade and the guide groove.
• Turn the saw blade until the marked tooth at the front lies above the table insert.
• Move the angle gauge along the guide groove up to the marked saw tooth.
• Measure the distance between the saw blade and the guide groove again.

The two measured distances must be identical.

Setting

• Loosen the hex socket screws (61) at the front beneath the saw table and the hex socket screws (62) at the rear beneath the saw table using the hex key (9) provided.
• Carefully move the saw blade until it lies parallel with the guide groove (47).
• Retighten all screws (61) and (62).

• Loosen the locking levers (42) on the parallel guide (27) and allow the parallel guide to move freely during the entire aligning process.
• Position the notches on the parallel guide (27) above pin pair (44) (silver). The folding additional parallel stop (8) must be facing away from the protective cover (3).
• Remove the protective cover (3).
• Pull the clamping handle (25) for the saw table expansion all the way up and reposition the parallel guide (27) until it is touching the saw blade (28).

Checking

The parallel guide (27) must touch the saw blade along its entire length.

Adjusting

• Loosen the silver screws of the pin pair (44) with the supplied hex key (9) enough so that the pins can glide freely.
• Use the parallel guide (44) to push the pin pair (27) approx. 3 mm to the right.
• Use the rotary knob (24) on the upper, silver scale (13) to set a spacing of 0 mm between the parallel guide and the saw blade.
• Push the clamping handle (25) for the saw table expansion down.
• Use the parallel guide (27) to push the pin pair (44) to the left until the parallel guide is touching the saw blade along its entire length.
• Carefully tighten the silver screws of the pin pair (44) using the supplied hex key (9).
• Fold the locking levers (42) down on both sides to fix the parallel guide in place.
• Make sure that the parallel guide is still touching the saw blade along its entire length after tightening.

Then check black pin pairs (43) and (45).

Checking

The parallel guide (27) must touch the saw blade along its entire length.

Adjusting

• Loosen the black screws of pin pair (45) with the supplied hex key (9) such that the pins can glide freely.
• Use the parallel guide (27) to push pin pair (45) to the right until the parallel guide is touching the saw blade along its entire length.
• Carefully tighten the black screws of the pin pair (45) using the supplied hex key (9).
• Fold the locking levers (42) down on both sides to fix the parallel guide in place.
• Make sure that the parallel guide is still touching the saw blade along its entire length after tightening.

• Loosen the locking levers (42) on the parallel guide (27) and allow the parallel guide to move freely during the entire aligning process.
• Position the notches on the parallel guide (27) above pin pair (44) (silver). The folding additional parallel stop (8) must be facing away from the protective cover (3).
• Remove the protective cover (3).
• Pull the clamping handle (25) for the saw table expansion all the way up and reposition the parallel guide (27) until it is touching the saw blade (28).

Checking

The front side of the table insert (6) must lie flush with or a little below the saw table; the rear must lie flush with or a little above the saw table.

Setting

• Use the hex key (9) to set the correct level of the four adjusting screws (64).
