Adjusting the Cutting Angle

To ensure precise cuts, the basic adjustment of
the machine must be checked and adjusted as
necessary after intensive use (see "Checking
and Adjusting the Basic Adjustment", page 47).
Adjusting Bevel Angles
(Saw Blade) (see figure K)
The bevel angle can be set in the range from –2°
to 47°.
– Turn locking lever 17 in anticlockwise direc-
tion.
Note: By completely loosening the locking knob,
the saw blade tilts approx. to the 30° position
by means of gravity force.
– Push or pull handwheel 18 alongside the con-
necting link until the angle indicator 47 indi-
cates the desired bevel angle.
– Hold the handwheel in this position and
tighten locking lever 17 again.
For quick and precise setting of the standard
0° and 45° angles, factory-set stops have been
provided for.
Adjusting Mitre Angles
(Angle Stop) (see figure L)
The mitre angle can be set in the range from 60°
(left side) to 60° (right side).
– Loosen the locking knob 49 in case it is tight-
ened.
– Turn the angle stop until the angle indicator
50 indicates the requested mitre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 49 again.
Increasing the Size of the Saw Table
(see figure M)
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
– Completely pull tensioning lever 15 of the
saw-table extension upward.
– Pull out the saw-table extension 14 to the de-
sired length.
– Press tensioning lever 15 downward.
The saw-table extension is now locked.
