Setting mitre and bevel angles
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive use.
Setting Bevel Angles (saw blade) (see figure D)
The bevel angle can be set between -1° and 47°.
- Loosen the locking lever (26) by turning it anticlockwise.
Note: When the locking lever is fully loosened, gravity causes the saw blade to tilt into a position that corresponds to approximately 30°.
- Pull or push the hand wheel (19) along the slotted link until the angle indicator (64) shows the required bevel angle.
- Hold the hand wheel in this position and retighten the locking lever (26).
For quick and precise setting of the standard bevel angles of 0° and 45°, there are pre-set stops ((28)),((25)).
Setting mitre angles (angle guide) (see figure E)
Note: Use appropriate equipment for making tapering cuts (long tapers).
The mitre angle can be set between 60° (left-hand side) and 60° (right-hand side).
- Loosen the locking knob (65) if it is tightened.
- Turn the angle guide until the angle indicator (66) shows the required mitre angle.
- Retighten the locking knob (65).
For quick and precise setting of frequently used mitre angles, there are stop screws for 45° (on the left- and right-hand side) and 0° on the angle guide (3) .
- Loosen the locking knob (65) if it is tightened.
- Fold out the adjusting plate (67).
- Turn the angle guide so that the thread of the required stop screw is to the right of the adjusting plate.
- Fold in the adjusting plate (67) and turn the angle guide until the thread of the stop screw is flush with the adjusting plate.
- Retighten the locking knob (65).
