Working with the machine
Always read all safety instructions when
working with the machine.
Ensure that the upper guard
[6-4a]
and the splin-
ter guard
[6-4b]
are resting on the workpiece and
move freely.
Do not work with oversized and heavy
workpieces that could damage the tool.
The guard determines the maximum height of
the workpiece.
For safety reasons,
NEVER
work without
an upper guard
[6-4a]
fitted (except for
non-through cuts).
Perform measurement settings when the
machine is at a standstill.

Using the machine as a table saw
8.1a
Rip cuts
- Place the saw blade on the centre of the table,
see section 5.4.a).
- Use the preset profile setting rail as a lengthwise
ruler (see fig. 1) to guide the workpiece.
- You can adjust the cutting width
[1-5]
using the
scales.
- Guide the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms
away from the saw blade's centre line.
- Use the push stick
[2-4]
to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
- When not in use, the push stick
[2-4]
should be
placed in the accessory holder
[2-1]
.
8.1b
Angled cuts
- For angled cuts, the mitre angle of the saw blade
needs to be adjusted, see section 7.2.
8.1c
Non-through cuts
If the guard has been removed, the riving knife
can be adjusted by firmly pulling by two locking
positions. The riving knife is used in the upper
locking position for all applications, except for
non-through cuts.
Before starting work
- Remove the upper guard
[6-4a]
.
- Move the riving knife
[7-1]
into the lower locking
position by pushing it down firmly.
Creating non-through cuts
When executing non-through cuts, pay particular
attention that the tool is guided precisely. To do
this, push the workpiece down firmly onto the
table. Select the cutting sequence so that the
workpiece side already sawed out is not the fence
side (risk of kickback).
Rabbeting
- Set the cutting depth and fence of the first side
of the rebate.
- Carry out the first saw cut of the rebate by guid-
ing the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms away
from the saw blade’s centre line.
- Use the push stick
[2-4]
to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
- Turn the workpiece.
- Set the cutting depth and fence of the second
side of the rebate.
- Make the second saw cut of the rebate.
- Use the push stick
[2-4]
to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
Rabbeting on workpieces ≤ 12 mm with a circular
trimming saw (with the saw blade locked)
- Use the fence as a cross-cutting fence (fig. 3).
- Observe the manufacturer‘s instructions for
cross cuts (see section 8.2a).
NEVER
use the fence as a rip fence when
rabbeting on the short side.
Grooving
- Adjust the cutting depth on the saw blade.
- Use the fence as a guide.
- Guide the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms
away from the saw blade‘s centre line.
- Use the push stick
[2-4]
to guide the workpiece
past the saw blade.
- Repeat the process until the required grooving
depth is achieved.
