Initial operation
Connection of a dust collector
Wood dust of certain species (e.g. oak, beech, ash) can cause cancer when inhaled: use a dust collector 1) when using the saw in enclosed spaces, 2) when using
the saw over extended periods (more than 1/2 hour per day), 3) when cutting oak, beech or ash.
The dust collector must meet the following requirements: 1) Connectors fitting the suction connector diameters (43mm at sawhead; 58 mm at bevel tilt
setting), 2) Airflow volume ≥ 460 m
3
/h 3) Vacuum at suction connector of saw ≥ 530 Pa. 4) Airspeed at suction connector of saw = 20m/s. Also follow the
instructions supplied with the dust collector!
Mains connection
Danger! High voltage !
1) Operate this machine in dry surroundings only, 2) Operate the machine only on a power source meeting the following requirements (see also “ Technical
Specifications") a. mains voltage and system frequency conform to the voltage and frequency shown on themachine's rating label, b. outlets properly installed,
earthed, and tested. 3) Position power supply cable so it does not interfere with the work and is not damaged. 4) Protect power supply cable from heat, ag -
gressive liquids and sharp edges, 5) Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables of sufficient lead cross-section (3 x 1mm ), 6) Do not pull on power supply cable
to unplug.
Operation
Danger!
1) Before starting any work, check to see that the safety devices are in proper working order, 2) Use personal protection gear, 3) Assume proper operating posi-
tion: at the front of the saw, in front of the saw, to the side of the line of cut, 4) Risk of crushing! When tilting the sawhead, do not reach into the hinge area or
under the saw! Hold at sawhead. When pushing the table side extension back, do not reach between extension and table, 5) If thetype of work requires, use
the following: a. work support - for long stock, which would otherwise fall off the table on completion of the cut, b. dust collector. 6) Cut only stock of dimen -
sions that allow for safe and secure holding while cutting, 7) Use an auxiliary fence if small cutoffs will result when cutting, 8) Saw work pieces conforming to
the following dimensions as described under ”Cutting of Small Cutoffs:
— cutoff <20 mm,
— height > 80mm,
— width> 125 mm,
8) Always hold the workpiece down on the table and do not jam it. Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by exerting lateral pressure. Risk of injury if the saw
blade is blocked.
Standard cross cuts
Maximum workpiece cross section (dimensions in mm): Width approx. = 350 mm / Height approx. = 108 mm
Starting position:
- Transport locking pin pulled out. Sawhead fully raised.
- Movable fence halves pushed together and arrested in position.
- Cutting depth limiter engaged in outer position.
- Rotating table in 0° position, the lokking screw of the rotating table is tightened.
- Motorhead in vertical (90°) position, bevel tilt locking lever tightened.
- Track arm not extended.
- Locking screw of the track arm loosened (if workpiece width requires).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Hold workpiece against the fence, 2. For wider workpieces pull sawhead forward (towards the operator) as far as required, 3. Push safety lock to the side and
press and hold the ON/OFF switch, 4. Lower sawhead slowly at the handle; if necessary, push to the rear (away from the operator). When sawing, exert only
moderate pressure to prevent the motor speed dropping too much, 5. Cut workpiece in a single pass, 6. Release the ON/OFF switch and let the sawhead slowly
return to its upper starting position.
