routing and fluting are not permitted.
9.1d Featherboard
NOTE
Use a featherboard for non-through cuts. Fit the
featherboard on the fence and the table so that the
featherboard pushes the workpiece down firmly
onto the plate during cutting. Featherboards are
not included with the delivery.
9.1e
Longitudinal cuts at an angle
f
Only use the left fence when making longitu-
dinal cuts at an angle in material with an edge
length of ≤ 150 mm. This creates more space
between the fence and the saw blade.

Using the machine as a circular trim-
ming saw

Cross cuts
f
Place the saw blade in the back table position,
see section 8b.
f
Use the preset profile setting rail as a cross-
wise or angle ruler (fig. 3) to position the work-
piece and hold it in place. Fastening clamps
(not included) can be inserted into the groove
[3-8]
to secure the workpiece.
Make the saw cut:
f
First release the saw lock by turning the rotary
knob
[2-6]
anticlockwise.
f
Pull the saw forward using the same rotary
knob
[2-6]
.
f
After completing the cut, move the saw unit
right back to its starting position before re-
moving the workpiece from the preset profile
setting rail.
NOTE
To ensure that the control elements are easy to
access for adjusting the saw settings, the saw
can be locked in the middle position by pushing
the notch lever
[1-9]
down. Turn the rotary knob
[2-6]
anticlockwise to release the lock again.
9.2b
Angled cuts
The mitre angle of the saw blade needs to be ad-
justed for angled cuts, see section 8.7. The pre-
set profile setting rail is on the right-hand side
of the table.
The preset profile setting rail needs to be adjust-
ed for mitre cuts, see section 8.10.
9.3 Push stick
Place the push stick
[11-2]
in the accessory
holder
[11-4]
