Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use!
General
- Do not use the saw for grooving, rabbeting or routing.
- Do not use to cut items larger than the dimensions specified under Capacity in the section Technical Data.
- Make sure that the work area is free from shavings and sawdust.
- The saw must be placed/fitted on a stable surface so that it cannot move during sawing.
- The saw must not be used for cutting round timber or logs.
- Never lock the upper guard in its open position, except when changing blades as described below. Never remove the lower guard unless the saw is being used as a circular saw.
• Take care not to trap fingers or other parts of the body when angling the worktable. - Lock the top of the saw in lowered position when moving the saw.
- Never use the guards to lift or carry the saw.
Saw blade
- Make sure that the spindle and flanges for fitting the saw blade are always clean.
- Never use high-speed steel blades.
- Never use grinding or cutting discs.
• Always use the correct type of saw blade for the actual model. For use only on wood, aluminium or similar materials.
• Never use saw blades if the maximum speed is lower than the maximum rotation speed of the tool. - Never use blades that are bent or have teeth missing.
- Never use oversized blades.
- Check that the orientation of the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the motor.
- Never use a saw blade that is thicker than the cleaver blade.
- Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw blade. Never place your hands near the saw blade or try to remove material from the work area while the blade is rotating.
Before use
- Round workpieces must be secured with screw clamps or the like, as the rotating blade can cause them to spin.
ENGLISH
- If the blade gets stuck, it can cause the workpiece to violently kick back towards the user. For this reason, never stand directly behind the saw blade when sawing.
- Wear a face mask if excessive amounts of dust are generated or when sawing materials that are a health hazard.
• Never stop the saw blade by pressing down on the saw, or by pressing on the side of the blade.
• The saw blade will continue to run for a short while after the machine has been switched off.

Always wear ear protection.
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

DESCRIPTION

Assembly and preparation
Check that all parts are included and that none of them are damaged. If this is not the case, contact the dealer immediately.
The saw can be mounted on the supplied legs (24) or secured to a bench without the supporting legs.
Mounting on legs
Fit the four legs to the corners of the base (21) using the retaining screws (23). Tighten the screws and check the legs are secure.
If the saw is unsteady on the surface, the feet (25) can be extended or shortened by screwing them clockwise or anti-clockwise (seen from above).
Mounting the base on a worktable

Fitting the parallel fence

Fit the parallel fence (j) on the guide rail (19) and secure it in the required position (can be fitted on either side of the saw blade) using the clamping screw (m) at the end of the parallel fence.
Slacken the adjusting screw (k) at the back of the parallel fence (l) and adjust the parallel fence so that its back edge is level with the front edge of the saw blade. Tighten the adjusting screw again.
Make sure the parallel fence is parallel with the saw blade. If it is not, slacken the adjustment screw to the right of the clamping screw, adjust the parallel fence until it is parallel with the saw blade, and then tighten the adjustment screw again.
The parallel fence has a bulge at the end of one side. This bulge must be turned in towards the saw blade when sawing small workpieces, and away from the saw blade for other sawing. The parallel fence can be turned in the required direction by fully unscrewing the adjusting screw, removing the parallel fence, and then fitting it again with the bulge turned in the right direction. Tighten the adjusting screw again.
Adjusting bevel angle
Slacken the bevel setting handle (under the angled saw table) and angle the saw blade using the depth adjustment knob to the required angle in relation to the worktable. Tighten bevel adjustment knob.
Fitting the bevel guide
Place the naval guide in the outer slot on the worktable to the left or right of the cow blade, eat it to the

ENGLISH
Fitting screw clamp

Place the screw clamp (q) in one of the two sockets (14) on the fence guide and secure with the retaining screw (r).
Adjusting the cutting depth
Turn the depth adjustment knob to set the cutting depth. Check that the saw blade does not come into contact with any other part of the saw when lowering the top, especially if the saw is set for mitre and/or bevel angle.
Crosscut/mitre sawing
- Set the required mitre angle, bevel angle and cutting depth.
- Place the workpiece against the fence guide and the worktable and secure with the screw clamp if necessary (if it is fitted).
- Push the lock button on the handle (7) to the left. Press the safety trigger (29) and the on/off switch (28) on the handle and allow the saw to reach full speed before cutting the workpiece.
- Lower the saw top onto the workpiece.
- Release the on/off switch when the cut is finished and wait until the blade has completely stopped before lifting the saw blade. The saw guard closes automatically when you lift the top part of the saw.
Table circular sawing
- Set the blade angle and bevel guide as required.
- Place the workpiece on the saw table.
- Switch on the saw with the switch (26) and allow the saw to reach full speed.
ENGLISH
General advice about sawing
- Do not try to press the saw against one of the sides.
- Release the switch immediately if the saw blade fastens in the workpiece.
• Empty the dust bag (if fitted) when necessary.

- When sawing thin sheet metal, place a piece of wood under the workpiece (s) to avoid deforming the sheet. Remember to use a saw blade suitable for sawing in metal.
• Lubricate the point of sawing with lubricant when cutting metal. Use paraffin oil for aluminium.
Changing the saw blade
The saw must be set up for crosscut/mitre sawing (as described above).
- Lift the top part of the saw to its full extent.

- Check that the orientation of the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the motor.
- Release the blade guard and spindle lock.
- Turn the saw blade by hand to check that it rotates freely.

Check that the gap between the saw blade and cleaver blade is 5-6 mm. If the gap is less or more, adjust the cleaver blade as follows:

- Loosen the adjustment knob on the cleaver blade.
ENGLISH
The mitre angle gauge is set by lowering down the top part of the saw and checking that the blade is at right angles to the fence guide using a right-angled triangle. Loosen the four adjustment bolts on the mitre angle gauge under the worktable, set the angle gauge to 0° and then retighten the bolts.

The bevel angle gauge is set by lowering the top part of the saw and checking that the blade is at right angles to the worktable using a right-angled triangle. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob. Turn the adjustment bolt 0^ (u) until the gauge on the back of the saw shows 0^ . Now angle the top part of the saw to 45^ and turn the adjustment bolt for 45^ (v) until the gauge shows 45^ .
MAINTENANCE
- Remove sawdust, dust and dirt using a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or a brush. Check that the motor vents are not blocked.
- Clean the saw by wiping the outer parts with a damp cloth.
- Lubricate all moving parts with a light lubricating oil.
- Never use strong or corrosive detergents on the saw blade. They can damage the light metal parts on the saw and affect its functionality.
- Replace the carbon brushes (9) if they are worn.
Transport
Before lifting or transporting the saw, lower the top part and lock in this position by pressing in the lock pin fully.
The saw can be moved using the carrying handles (22). Note that the saw is very heavy. Use the correct
