Aligning the Angle Indicator (Vertically)

(see figure S)
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking:
The angle indicator 20 must be in alignment
with the 0° mark of the scale 19.
Adjusting:
– Loosen the screw 56 with the Phillips screw-
driver provided and align the angle indicator
along the 0° mark.
– Afterwards, check to ensure that the adjust-
ment made is correct for the 45° mark.
– Retighten the screw again.

Aligning the Fence

– Bring the machine into the transport posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking: (see figure T1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
saw table 8 between the fence 18 and the
saw blade 40.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the fence over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure T2)
– Loosen all Allen screws 24 with the Allen key
provided.
– Turn the fence 18 until the angle gauge is
flush over the complete length.
– Retighten the screws again.
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 0° (Vertical)
– Bring the machine into the transport posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
Checking: (see figure U1)
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and place it on the
saw table 8.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 40 over the complete length.

Adjusting: (see figure U2)
– Turn the Allen screw 57 in or out using a suit-
able Allen key (size 3 mm) until the leg of the
angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over
its complete length.
In case the angle indicator 20 is not in a line with
the 0° mark of the scale 19 after the adjust-
ment, the angle indicator must be aligned ac-
cordingly (see "Aligning the Angle Indicator
(Vertically)", page 46).
Setting the Standard Bevel Angle 45°
(Vertical)
– Bring the power tool into the working posi-
tion.
– Turn the saw table 8 to the 0° detent 14. The
lever 12 must be felt to engage in the detent.
– Release the clamping lever 21 and tilt the
tool arm leftward to the stop (45°) by the
handle 5.
Checking: (see figure V1)
– Set an angle gauge to 45° and place it on the
saw table 8.
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with
the saw blade 40 over the complete length.
Adjusting: (see figure V2)
– Turn the Allen screw 58 in or out using a suit-
able Allen key (size 3 mm) until the leg of the
angle gauge is flush with the saw blade over
its complete length.
In case the angle indicator 20 is not in a line with
the 45° mark of the scale 19, firstly check the 0°
setting for the bevel angle and the angle indica-
tor again. Then repeat the adjustment of the 45°
bevel angle.
