Operation as Table Saw



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.

Working Position (see figure

A)

If the power tool was used as a chop and mitre saw, then the fol-
lowing steps must be carried out before using as a table saw:

– Bring the power tool into the chop and mitre saw working 

position.  (see “Working Position”, page 42)

–

Loosen

 locking screw 

44

.

– Pull the adjustable fence 

31

 completely outward.

– Retighten the locking screw 

44

.

– Pull the lower saw blade cover 

66

 out of the groove of the 

parallel guide 

61

.

– Insert the lower saw blade cover 

66

 into the saw table 

22

.

During operation as a table saw, the lower saw blade cover 

66

 must cover the bottom part of the saw blade.

– Set the vertical bevel angle to 0 ° and tighten the lock lever 

37

.

– Press release button 

17

 and slowly guide the tool arm by 

handle 

18

 downward until the transport safety-lock 

38

 can 

be pushed completely inward.

Preparing for Operation

Adjusting the Saw Blade Height (see figure

B)

For safe operation, the correct working position of the saw 
blade 

7

 to the workpiece must be adjusted. The 

maximum 

workpiece height

 is 51 mm.

– Loosen both clamping levers 

68

 below the saw table 

59

.

– Tilt the protection guard 

63

 toward the rear to the stop and 

position your workpiece next to the saw blade.

– Push the saw table down or pull it upward until the upper 

saw teeth of the saw blade project approx. 1 mm above the 
workpiece surface.

– Hold the saw table in this position and retighten the clamp-

ing levers again.

Adjusting the Parallel Guide (see figure

C)

The parallel guide 

61

 can be positioned to the right of the saw 

blade. The clearance indicator 

69

 indicates the clearance of 

the parallel guide to the saw blade on the scale 

65

.

– Loosen the clamping knob 

64

.

This relieves the guide 

71

 at the rear of the parallel guide.

– Firstly, insert the parallel guide into the rear guide groove 

of the saw table.

– Then position the parallel guide into the front guide groove 

of the saw table.
The parallel guide can be moved variably now.

– Move the parallel guide until the clearance indicator 

69

 in-

dicates the requested clearance to the saw blade.

– To lock the parallel guide, push the clamping knob 

64

downward again.



Make sure that the parallel guide is always parallel to 
the saw blade or that the sawblade/parallel guide clear-
ance increases toward the rear. 

Otherwise, danger is giv-

en that the workpiece is jammed between the saw blade 
and the parallel guide.

Starting Operation

Switching On (see figure

D)

– For 

starting operation

, press the green ON pushbutton 

2

(

I

).

Switching Off

– Press the red OFF pushbutton 

1

 (

O

).

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Power Failure

The ON/OFF switch is a so-called non-voltage switch, which 
prevents the power tool from restarting after a power failure 
(e. g., when the mains plug is pulled during operation).

– To restart the power tool, press the green ON pushbutton 

2

 again.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions



For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade 
at no time can come in contact with the stops or other 
machine parts.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Pay attention that the riving knife is in line with the saw blade.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must al-
ways have a straight edge to face against the parallel guide.

Always keep/store the push stick with the power tool.

Do not use the power tool for joining, grooving or cutting slots.

Long workpieces must be underlaid or supported at their free 
end.  (see figure

E)

Position of the Operator (see figure

F)



Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in front of the 
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. 

This pro-

tects your body against possible kickback.

– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw 

blade.

Observe the following instructions:
– Hold the workpiece securely with both hands and press it 

firmly against the saw table, expecially when working with-
out the guide.

– When sawing small workpieces, use the hold-down stick 

provided.

Sawing

Sawing Straight Cuts

– Adjust the parallel guide 

61

 to the requested cutting width. 

(see “Adjusting the Parallel Guide”, page 47)

– Position the workpiece on the saw table in front of the 

blade guard 

63

.

– Adjust the correct saw blade height (see “Adjusting the 

Saw Blade Height”, page 47)

–

Make sure that the blade guard is positioned properly. 

It must always face against the workpiece while sawing.

– Switch on the machine.
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
