Sawing
Sawing without Slide Movement (Cutting Off)
(see figure N)
– Slide glide arm 23 completely to the rear and secure it in
this position (see "Securing the Glide Arm", page 22).
Make sure that the depth stop 25 is pushed completely in-
ward and that adjusting screw 24 fits through the recess
without touching the depth stop when moving the glide
arm.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Adjust the desired mitre and/or bevel angle.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking lever 4 and slowly guide the glide arm down-
ward with handle 3.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the glide arm upward.
Sawing with Slide Movement (see figure O)
 Before switching on and during the complete sawing,
hold the handle firmly. While sawing, carry out a con-
trolled motion with the glide arm. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating the extremely smooth-running glide
arm can result in serious personal injury.
– Release glide arm 23 (see "Releasing the Glide Arm",
page 22).
Check if the complete glide mechanism is operative by
sliding the glide arm 23 back and forth.
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Adjust the desired mitre and/or bevel angle.
– Pull the glide arm away from the fence 8 until the saw blade
is in front of the workpiece.
– Switch on the machine.
– Press locking lever 4 and slowly guide the glide arm down-
ward with handle 3.
– Now, push the glide arm toward the fence 8 and saw
through the workpiece with uniform feed.

– Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the glide arm upward.
Height x Width [mm]
Adjusting the Depth Stop (Sawing Grooves)
(see figure P)
80 x 306
The depth stop must be adjusted when a trench gap is to be
80 x 216
sawed.
54 x 296
– Swivel the depth stop 25 outward.
– Press locking lever 4 and tilt the glide arm to the desired
30 x 296
position.
54 x 208
– Turn adjusting screw 24, until the screw end touches
30 x 208
depth stop 25.
– Slowly guide the glide arm upward.
Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be es-
pecially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap
may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Replacing Insert Plates (see figure Q)
The red insert plates 10 can become worn after prolonged
use of the machine.
Replace defective insert plates.
– Bring the power tool into the working position.
– Unscrew screws 54 with the provided Allen key (4 mm) 30
and remove the old insert plates.
– Insert the new right-hand insert plate.
– Screw the insert plate as far as possible to the right with
the screws 54 so that the saw blade does not come into
contact with the insert plate over the complete length of
the possible slide motion.
– Repeat the work steps in the same manner for the left-hand
insert plate.
