Scheppach MS216L Translation Of Original Instruction Manual page 38

• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place: use the
handle (1) to move the machine head (4) steadily and
with light pressure downwards until the saw blade
(6) has completely cut through the work piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place: pull
the machine head (4) all the way to the front. Lower
the handle (1) to the very bottom by applying steady
and light downward pressure. Now push the ma-
chine head (4) slowly and steadily to the very back
until the saw blade (6) has completely cut through
the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head back to its upper (home) position and
release the ON/OFF button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward stroke
automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do not re-
lease the handle (1) after completing the cut; instead
allow the machine head to move upwards slowly
whilst applying light counter pressure.
9.5 Crosscut 90° and turntable 0° - 45° (fig. 1/7/8)
The crosscut, drag and mitre saw can be used to make
crosscuts of 0° -45° to the left and 0° -45° to the right in
relation to the stop rail.
Important!
For 90° crosscuts, the moveable stop rail (16a) must be
fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) inwards.
• The moveable stop rails (16a) must be locked so that
the distance between the stop rails (16a) and the
saw blade (6) is at least 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that the stop rails (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (16b) again.
• Loosen the handle (11) if it is tightened. Pull the in-
dexed position lever (35) upwards with the pointer
finger. Adjust the rotary table (14) to the desired an-
gle using the handle (11).
• The pointer (12) on the rotary table must match the
desired angle on the scale (13) on the fixed saw ta-
ble (15).
• Re-tighten the handle (11) to secure the rotary table
(14).
• Cut as described under section 9.4.

9.6 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0° (fig. 1/2/11)
The crosscut, drag and mitre saw can be used to make
mitre cuts of 0° - 45° in relation to the work face.
Attention!
For bevel cuts (inclined saw head), the moveable stop
rail (16a) must be fixed in the outer position. (Left side).
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) out-
wards.
• The moveable stop rails (16a) must be locked so that
the distance between the stop rails (16a) and the
saw blade (6) is at least 8 mm.
• The moveable stop rail (28) must be fixed in the inner
position. (Right side).
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rail (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Secure the set screw (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to the top position.
• Fix the rotary table (14) in the 0° position.
• Loosen the set screw (22). Use the handle (1) to an-
gle the machine head (4) to the left, until the pointer
(19) indicates the desired angle measurement on the
scale (18).
• Re-tighten the set screw (22).
• Cut as described in section 9.4.
9.7 Mitre cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45°
(fig. 1/2/4/12)
The crosscut, drag and mitre saw can be used to make
mitre cuts to the left of 0°- 45° in relation to the work
face and, at the same time, 0° - 45° to the left or 0° -
45° to the right in relation to the stop rail (double mi-
tre cut).
Attention!
For bevel cuts (inclined saw head), the moveable stop
rail (16a) must be fixed in the outer position. (Left side).
• Open the set screw (16b) for the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (16a) out-
wards.
• The moveable stop rails (16a) must be locked so that
the distance between the stop rails (16a) and the
saw blade (6) is at least 8 mm.
• Before making a cut, check that the stop rails (16a)
and the saw blade (6) cannot collide.
• Re-tighten the set screw (16b).
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Release the rotary table (14) by loosening the han-
dle (11).
• Using the handle (11), set the rotary table (14) to the
desired angle (refer also to point 9.5 in this regard).
