[7-3]
and remove it together with the clamping
element
[7-2]
,
- After unscrewing both screws
[8-3]
, the guide
piece
[8-2]
can be moved vertically to adjust the
distance between the riving knife and saw blade.
- After successful adjustment, return the riving
knife and clamping element and retighten all
screws.
7.5 Fence
The supplied fence can be attached to all four
sides of the machine as shown in fig. 3.
The fence can be adjusted in the following ways:
The fence can be inserted as a rip fence (fig. 1) or
as a cross-cutting fence or angle-cutting fence
(fig. 3).
Rip fence:
- Loosen the screw
[3-3]
and lift the fixing pin
[3-4]
, adjust the angle to 0° with the help of the
scale, lock the fixing pin again and tighten the
screw
[3-3]
.
- Loosen the screw
[3-2]
and adjust the rail
[3-1]
so that the triangular arrow is within the green
sticker, see details
[1-13]
. Then tighten the
screw
[3-2]
.
- Push the preset profile setting rail into the
groove on the side of the table (fig. 3 detail). Slide
it until the preset profile setting rail’s handle
covers the green marked area on the side of the
table, see detail
[1-14]
. Then tighten the screw
[3-5]
.
- Loosen the screw
[3-6]
, set the desired cutting
width and retighten the screw.
The preset profile setting rail can be used as a
high or low rip fence. For this adjust the rail
[3-1]
upright or flat.
The low rip fence is used to avoid collision with
the saw blade guard, e.g. for mitre cuts with a saw
blade swivelled by 45°.
Cross-cutting fence and angle-cutting fence:
- Slide the preset profile setting rail into the
groove in the table and retighten the screw
[3-5]
.
- Loosen the screw
[3-3]
and lift the fixing pin
[3-4], adjust to the desired angle on the scale
(the fixing pin will click into place in the most
common angle settings) and then retighten the
screw
[3-3]
.
- Loosen the screw
[3-2]
and adjust the rail
[3-1]
so that it does not reach into the cutting plane
and then tighten the screw
[3-2]
.
Make sure that all rotary knobs on the
preset profile setting rail are tightened
before starting work. The preset profile
setting rail should always be used in a
fixed position and must not be used to
push the workpiece.
When not in use, fold the preset profile
setting rail to the zero position and put it
in the accessory holder
[2-1]
(right side
of fig. 2).
7.6
Scale for cutting width
The two scales
[1-5]
indicate the cutting width
of rip cuts.
If needed, the scales can be readjusted after loos-
ening the screws
[1-4]
.
7.7
Installing the splinter guard
The splinter guard
[10-2]
prevents splinters on
the lower cutting edge of the workpiece.
The splinter guard can be used at all mitre angles
but a separate splinter guard must be installed
and cut into for each angle:
- Set the saw blade to the minimum cutting height.
- Open the lock
[1-3]
and lift the table insert
[1-2]
up and out,
- Open the lock
[6-1]
and swivel the saw blade
cover
[6-2]
downwards. This automatically locks
the tool spindle,
- Slide the splinter guard
[10-2]
sideways onto
the retainer
[10-3]
up to the stop,
- Swivel the saw blade cover
[6-2]
upwards and
close the lock
[6-1]
,
- Put the table insert back, far edge first (fig. 9),
and close the lock
[1-3]
.
- Switch on the machine and slowly move the saw
blade up to the maximum cutting height - this
cuts into the splinter guard.
The raised section
[10-1]
of the splinter guard
should protrude slightly (by approx. 0.3 mm) over
the edge of the table so that it functions more
effectively. The height of the retainer
[10-3]
can
also be adjusted after loosening the two screws
[10-4]
.
7.8
Adjusting the guard
- To adjust the fences, the guard can be locked in
place in the upper position.
- Lock the lateral splinter guard
[16-3]
with the
catch in the upper position
[16-2]
.
- Lift the guard into the upper position
[16-4]
and
tighten the screw
[16-1]
.
- After adjusting the fences, loosen the screw
[16-1]
again and unhinge the lateral splinter
