fitted correctly in any case! Only tighten both screws 1
afterwards! After you have tightened the screws, please
check once more if the splitting wedge is seated firmly
and if the saw blade can be turned freely.
4. Push the upper housing part back down and secure with
the knurled screw.
5. Set the desired saw blade position as described further
down in the chapter „Height adjustment of the saw blade".

7. Settings

7.1. Height adjustment of the saw blade

To adapt the depth of cut, the position of the saw blade can
be regulated in the height. On the one hand, this optimises
the sawing performance, and on the other hand the risk of
injury is reduced due to the restriction of the free saw blade
part.
Make sure the mains plug is disconnected for all adjusting
work!
1. Release the larger knurled button 1 (fig. 6) at the front
operating plate and unscrew by a few revolutions
2. The saw blade position can now be set using the smaller
knurled button 2: Turning clockwise will adjust the blade
upwards, and turning counter-clockwise will adjust the
blade downwards.
3. After the desired position is achieved, retighten the
knurled button 1.

7.2. Adjusting the saw blade tilt

The saw blade can be tilted to manufacture mitre cuts. The
desired value is set, or read, with the help of the angle scale.
Make sure the mains plug is disconnected for all adjusting
work!
1. Release handwheel 1 (fig. 7).
2. Swing the saw blade to the right with the handwheel.
3. Set or read off the desired angle with indicator 2 at the
angle scale 3.
4. Arrest the saw blade position by turning the handwheel
1 shut

8. Extendable saw table

Make sure the mains plug is disconnected for all adjusting
work!
In order to place larger work pieces easily and securely on
the saw table, it has been designed as an extendable saw
table. The extension is quite simple:
Please note:
1. Use your finger to push the curry-coloured limit stop edge
1 (fig. 8a) towards the back. This makes it move out
upwards.
Caution!

Caution!
2. Pull out the saw table 2 with the limit stop edge into the
desired position, see fig. 8b. If necessary, support with the
swivelling lever 3.
3. The small knurled screw 4 can be used to clamp the
extendable saw table into the desired position, as neces-
sary.
4. Now push the limit stop edge 1 back into its initial position
to achieve a plane surface. It is now possible to work with
the saw. Please note: The limit stop edge can also be
used for larger work pieces as a longitudinal stop, of
course.
5. After completing your work, simply push the extendable
saw table 2 back into the initial position. If necessary, fold
up the swivelling lever 3 before.

9. Dust suction

At the back of the housing of your FSK you will find a con-
necting piece for dust suction, see fig. 9: a vacuum cleaner is
connected here.
This should always be operational while working! Not only
because it guarantees a clean working environment, but also
because this prevents the interior of the saw from becoming
contaminated from sawdust.
The vacuum cleaner hose is simply connected to the rubber
adapter, as shown in the picture.
Here's another tip:
Using the Proxxon CW-matic vacuum cleaner omits that
annoying manual activation and deactivation. The CW-matic
is equipped with an automatic control that switches on and
off automatically whenever the electrical tool is activated or
deactivated.

10. Working with the limit stops

10.1 Working with the longitudinal stop

Assembly (Fig. 10 a):
Is pushed on to the side (from the left or right) over the ruler 5.
Locking handle 3 and knurled screw 4 must be loosened for
this procedure!
Adjusting the longitudinal stop (without fine adjustment
function, Fig 10b):
Is possible on both sides of the saw blade. Is done by simply
shifting and then clamping with locking handle 3.
Important:
The knurled screw 4 must be loosened during the adjust-
ment.
Adjusting the longitudinal stop via fine adjustment by
handwheel 7 (fig. 10 c):
1. After a rough preliminary adjustment, tighten knurled
screw 4 (toggle screw 3 must be loosened).
Caution:
