Lay the insert in position and secure with the
clamp and the rotary knob [5-1].
7.6 Setting the spacer wedge
Once the protective cover is removed, pull fi rmly
on the spacer wedge [1-6] to move to one of two
catch positions. The spacer wedge is used in the
top catch position [7-2] in the all applications,
except concealed cuts.
For concealed cuts only
Remove the top protective cover.
Press down the spacer wedge fi rmly to move
to the lower catch position [7-1].
When producing concealed cuts, make sure you
guide the machine accurately. Press the work-
piece fi rmly onto the table. When cutting the
workpiece, make sure that the side of the work-
piece that is already cut out is not on the same
side as the fence.
After completing concealed cuts, move the
spacer wedge [1-6] back to the top position
and attach the protective cover (see chapter
6.1).
7.7 Fence
The fence can be attached at any point along
the clamping edge of the saw base and is
so versatile, it can be used as a cross stop
[Fig. 1] or a longitudinal stop [Fig. 6].

Before attaching, make sure that the contact
surfaces of the fence are not dirty.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Always use the fence in a fi xed position and
do not use to slide the workpiece along!
Fitting the fence
Open the clamping jaws using the knob [4-4].
Place the fence with guide rail [4-5] onto the
clamp rail from above.
Secure the clamp segment using the knob [4-

The stop ruler is stepped on one side by
8 mm. This guide rail can be used to guide
the cross stop up to the saw cut to support
the workpiece without having to remove the
top protective cover.
Adjust the angle
Unscrew the rotary knob [4-2] and lift the re-
taining pin [4-3].
The rotary retaining pin engages at the most fre-
quently used angle settings.
Adjust the position of the stop profi le
Unscrew the rotary knob [4-1].
Remove the guide rail [4-6] and turn 90°.
Place the guide rail in the guide slot available.
[Fig. 4]
The dimensions of the aluminium profi le provide
a high guide surface for high workpieces and a
low guide surface for fl at workpieces.
Longitudinal stop
Position the stop ruler parallel to the blade to
make rip cuts.
Use the workpiece holder [6-1] for guiding
narrow workpieces.
The two rulers on the left and right of the saw
blade cutting edges [7-1] are set to zero ex works
so that the fence can be aligned with the scale
along the front edge of the table.
7.8 Fitting the splinterguard
NOTE
The splinterguard cannot be used when making
bevel cuts. Remove the splinterguard as neces-
sary.
Unscrew the rotary knob [5-1].
Slide the clamping plate forwards.
Lift the table insert [1-4] from the rear end and
remove.
Set the saw blade to the minimum cutting
depth.
Slide the splinterguard [8-3] up to the side of
the retainer [8-1].
Place the table insert [1-4] in position and
tighten the rotary knob [5-1].
Switch on the machine and move the saw blade
slowly upwards to the maximum cutting depth.
This beds in the splinterguard. The raised sec-
tion [8-4] of the splinterguard should protrude
slightly (approx. 0.3 mm) over the edge of the
