Bevel tilt setting
After the lock lever (61) at the rear has
been loosened the saw can be tilted
continously from 0° (vertical) through
45° to the left of vertical.
A
Caution!
To keep the bevel angle from changing
while sawing, the locking lever of the
track arm holder must be tightened.
Rotating table
For mitre cuts the rotating table can, af-
ter the lock screw (63) and the table
lock lever (62) have been loosened, be
rotated 47° to the left or 47° to the right.
This way the cutting angle is changed
against the guide edge of the work
piece.

stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° po-
sitions.
A
61 Caution
To ensure that the mitre angle does not
change during cutting tighten the lock
screw (63) of the rotating table (also in
the preset positions!).
Push/pull action
The track arm permits the cutting of
workpieces having a larger cross sec-
tion. The push/pull action can be used
for all types of cuts (standard cross
cuts, mitre cuts, bevel cuts and com-
pound mitre cuts as well as grooves).
The following illustration shows the
track arm in the forward position.
