앬
To do this, open the clamping lever (30)
앬
Set the desired angle on the slide scale (46) and
re-tighten the clamping lever (30).
앬
The length of the stop rail (31) can be adjusted
by slackening both thumb screws (45).
Important!
Do not push the stop rail (31) too far toward the
blade.
The distance between the stop rail (31) and the
blade (4) should be approx. 2 cm.
8.5. Setting the angle (Fig. 37)
앬
Slacken the setting screw and locking screw (28)
and set the desired angle on the angle scale (40)
앬
Re-tighten the setting screw and locking screw.
앬
The angle adjustment function has an adjustable
stop (39) at 0° und 45°. For angles greater than
45° or less than 0°, the angle stop can be swung
away.
9.0. Operation
Important!!
After every new adjustment we recommend you
to make a trial cut in order to check the new
settings.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to
reach its maximum speed of rotation before
commencing with the cut.
Take extra care when starting the cut!
9.1. Making longitudinal cuts (Figure 42)
Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when
you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood.
Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel
stop (7) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The guard hood (2) must always be lowered over the
workpiece.
When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt a
working position that is in line with the cutting
direction.
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece height and the desired width. (See
8.3.)
Switch on the saw.
Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the
workpiece and push the workpiece along the
parallel stop (7) and into the blade (4).
Guide at the side with your left or right hand
(depending on the position of the parallel stop)
only as far as the front edge of the guard hood.
Always push the workpiece through to the end of
the splitter (5).
The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1)
until the blade (4) is back in its position of rest.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.) .
9.1.2. Cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 43)
Be sure
to use a push stick (3) when making
longitudinal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120
mm in width. A push stick is supplied with the
saw!
Replace a worn or damaged push stick
immediately.
9.1.3. Cutting extremely narrow workpieces (Fig.
44)
Be sure
to use a push block when making
longitudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces with
a width of 30 mm and less.
The low guide face of the parallel stop is best
used in this case (Fig. 40).
There is no push block supplied with the
saw! (Available from your specialist dealer)
Replace the push block without delay when it
becomes worn.
9.1.4. Making bevel cuts (Fig. 45)
Bevel cuts must always be used using the parallel
stop (7).
Set the blade (41) to the desired angle. (See
8.5.)
Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the
workpiece width and height (see 8.3.1)
Carry out the cut in accordance with the
workpiece width (see 9.1.1., 9.1.2 and 9.1.3.)
9.2. Using the slide (Fig. 46)
앬
Set the slide to the desired angle (see 8.4)
앬
Press the workpiece firmly against the stop rail.
앬
Switch on the saw.
앬
Push the slide toward the saw blade in order to
make the cut.
앬
Important: Always hold the guided part of the
workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be
cut off.
앬
Push the slide forward until the workpiece is cut
all the way through.
앬
Switch off the saw again.
Important: Do not
remove the offcut until the blade has stopped
rotating!
앬
The standard end stop (47) can be used for
repeat cuts. To do this, flip down the end stop
and set it to the desired dimension by means of
the thumb screw (48).
