• Adjustment parallel to the bench edge -
open the rotary knob (3.5).
• Adjustment vertical to the bench edge -
open the rotary knob (3.6).
• Adjustment of the sliding fence (3.1) in
a longitudinal direction - open the rota-
ry knob (3.2). The sliding fence can be
clamped onto the holder in a low position
for thin workpieces (Fig. 1), or in a high
position for thick workpieces (Fig. 3).
• Angle adjustment using the scale (3.7)
- open the rotary knob (3.3) and raise
the fi xing pin (3.4). The rotating fi xing
pin locks into place in the most common
angle positions.
This means that the guide can be used as
a parallel guide (Fig. 1) or as a cross guide
or angle guide (Fig. 3).
Prior to all work, make sure that all
rotary knobs of the guide are tigh-
tened. The guide may only be used
in a fi xed position and not to shift
the workpiece.
6.6 Scale for cutting width
The two scales (1.5) specify the cutting
width for longitudinal cuts.
If required, the scales can be realigned after
opening the screws (1.4).
6.7 Mounting the splinterguard
The splinterguard (10.2) prevents bre-
akouts on the lower cutting edge of the
workpiece.
The splinterguard can be used for all mitres,
but a separate splinterguard must be fi tted
and sawn in for each angle:
- Set saw blade to minimum cutting
depth.
- Open the locking mechanism (1.3) and
remove the bench insert (1.2) upwards.
- Open the locking mechanism (6.1) and
swing the saw blade cover (6.2) down.
This automatically locks the tool spindle.
- Push splinterguard (10.2) from the side
into the holder (10.3) up to the stop.
- Swing the saw blade cover (6.2) upwards
and close the locking mechanism (6.1).
- Insert the bench insert with the rear edge
fi rst (see Fig. 9) and close the locking
mechanism (1.3).
- Switch on tool and slowly move the saw
blade up to the maximum cutting depth
– this cuts the splinterguard to shape.
For a optimum function the raised part
(10.1) of the splinterguard should protrude
slightly (approx. 0.3 mm) above the surface
of the base runner. For this purpose the
height of the holder (10.3) can be adjusted
after releasing both screws (10.4).
7 Working with the machine
When working with the machine,
comply with all safety instructions.
Adjust the protective hood so that it rests
on the workpiece and clamp it in this posi-
tion with the knob (1.1).
7.1 Bench-mounted circular saw
Use the guide as a parallel guide (Fig. 1)
to guide the workpiece. The cutting width
can be set using the scales (1.5). Guide
the workpiece into place by hand. Use the
workpiece holder (2.4) to guide the work-
piece safety past the saw blade. When not
in use, place the work-piece holder in the
storage compartment (2.1).
7.2 Circular trimming saw
Use the guide as a cross guide or as an
angle guide (Fig. 3) to apply and secure the
work-piece. Alternatively, clamps (489570)
can be inserted in the grooves (3.8) to se-
cure the workpiece. Perform the sawing cut
by swinging the hand grip (3.9) downwards
and using the hand grip to pull the saw unit
forwards.
After making the sawing cut, move the saw
unit right back again into its initial position
before you take the workpiece from the
guide.
8 Maintenance and care
Prior to any setting, maintenance or
repair, pull the mains plug!
All maintenance and repair work
which requires the motor casing to
be opened may only be carried out
by an authorised service centre.
The routers are fi tted with special carbon
brushes with automatic-switch-off. When
the brushes reach their wear limit the cur-
rent is interrupted automatically and the
