4. OPERATION
USING THE MITRE SAW
Before use, always check for faults or defects!
• Set the desired sawing angle of the machine.
• Put the plug into the socket.
• Fix the piece of work in place using the clamps (7):
make sure that the material is well clamped in place!
• Hold the material tightly on the left side while making
sure that you keep a safe distance from the blade of
the saw.
• Turn on the machine using the switch (1).
• Make sure that the saw blade has reached full speed
before allowing it to touch the piece of work to be sawn.
• Use knob (2) to raise the protective cover lock.
• Now bring the saw slowly downwards so that the
saw blade saws through the piece of work and passes
through the slot in the table. Do not put any pressure
on the saw. Give the machine time to saw through
the piece of work.
• Bring the machine gently up again and switch it off by
letting go of the switch (1).
USING THE SLIDE-FUNCTION
Use the slide-function for sawing wide workpieces:
• Fix the piece of work in place using the clamp
• Turn the handle of the turntable counterclockwise
• Slide the machine completely towards yourself
• Turn on the machine using the switch
• Bring the saw slowly downwards so the saw blade
saws through the piece of work
• Push the machine slowly backwards (in direction of
guide fence)
• Bring the machine gently up again and switch it off by
letting go of the switch

5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE

connected to the mains electricity when you carry
out any maintenance of the mechanism.
SLIDE RAILS
Dirt can damage the slide rails and thereupon the
operating of the machine.
• Clean the slide rails regularly with a soft cloth.
• Drip some lubricating oil on the slide rails
