Do not jam any work piece.
• Select rip fence and table tilt for the type of cutting operation to be carried out.
• Set upper blade guide 3 mm above the work piece.
Note:
Always make a trial cut in a piece of scrap to verify settings, correct if necessary
before cutting the work piece.
• Place work piece on the saw blade.
• Plug in.
• Start saw.
• Cut work piece in a single pass.
• Switch off if no further cutting is to be done immediately afterwards.

CAUTION:
When bevel-cutting with the table inclined, place the guide on the lower part of the
table.
After loosening the lock lever the saw table tilts steplessly through 47º against the
blade.
Turn the handle clockwise to tilt the table in an anticlockwise direction, and turn the
