1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust
mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protec-
tion is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-
rations if the equipment is used over a pro-
longed period or is not properly guided and
maintained.
5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the tool to the power supply
make sure that the data on the rating plate is the
same as the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull out the power plug before ma-
king adjustments to the equipment.
•
All covers and safety devices must be proper-
ly fitted before the machine is switched on.
•
It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
•
When working with wood that has been previ-
ously processed, watch out for foreign bodies
such as nails or screws, etc.
•
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make
sure that the blade is correctly fitted and that
the tool's moving parts run smoothly.
5.1 Important information to observe before
setting up the machine (Fig. 3/4)
This saw can be operated in two diff erent set-
tings. Depending on the job in hand you can carry
out cuts in either
•
crosscut and miter saw mode (referred to
below simply as crosscut mode, see Fig. 3),
•
or in table-type circular saw mode (referred to
below simply as table mode, see Fig. 4).
The saw is delivered already set for table mode.
To assemble the saw it must be converted from
table mode to crosscut mode.
Caution! Pay special attention to the order of
steps required for converting the operating mode.
The saw is equipped with blocking mechanisms
in order to ensure safe operation. Proceed care-
fully and follow the steps listed out below in order
not to damage any innerlying components.
5.2 Switching from table mode to crosscut
mode (Fig. 5 – 7)
Important! When you start up for the fi rst time
you must begin by pulling out the polystyrene in-

lay - as shown in Fig. 5 - so that you can swing out
the motor unit (32).
Swinging out the motor unit (Fig. 6)
1. Use one hand to apply a little downward pres-
sure on the saw table (37).
2. At the same time use the other hand to pull
out the latching pin (35) and hold it in its ou-
termost position.
3. Now reduce the pressure on the saw table
(37). The spring tension causes the saw table
(37) to rise, enabling the motor unit (32) to
swing out from underneath.
4. Let go of the latching pin (35) and raise the
saw table (37) while applying a little counter-
pressure.
5. Make sure that the latching pin (35) engages
in the bottom position.
Raising the machine head and the saw table
(Fig. 7)
Important! You must fi rst swing out the motor
unit (32) in order to be able to raise the machine
head (1) / saw table (37).
1. Use one hand to apply a little downward pres-
sure on the saw table (37).
2. At the same time use the other hand to pull
out the retaining pin (33).
3. Now reduce the pressure on the saw table
(37). The return spring causes the saw table
(37) to rise.
4. Important! The retaining pin (33) remains in
the outer position.
5. Caution! The return spring will automatically
lift the machine, i.e. do not let go of the saw
table (37) but guide it slowly upwards while
applying a little counterpressure.
5.3 Switching from crosscut mode to table
mode (Fig. 8/9)
Caution! You can switch the saw to table mode
only when the miter angle (23) equals 0°.
Important! To be able to swing in the motor unit
(32) you must fi rst lower the machine head (1) /
saw table (37).
Lowering the machine head and the saw tab-
le (Fig. 8)
1. Press the release button (2) with one hand in
order to release the machine head (1).
2. Use the other hand to apply a little counter-
pressure on the saw table (37) while lowering
the machine head (1).
3. Push the saw table (37) as far as the stop.
4. Secure this position by pressing in the retai-
