4.9 Supplementary support plate and glider
4.9.1
Supplementary support plate
You can mount the supplementary support plate 25
(Fig. 2) on the machine to increase the working
surface and to thus improve guidance of the wire saw
for insulation material.
Place the two brackets of the supplementary
support plate onto the tilting segments 26 (Fig.
3) and press the supplementary support plate
against the machine until the brackets engage.
Simultaneously press the two latching buttons
27 (Fig. 2) and pull off the supplementary
support plate to remove it.
Place the machine’s supplementary
support plate onto a guide rail if
you want to cut small, bevelled
sections. Depending on the cutting
angle, the distance between tracing
edge and saw wire can be
determined from the table on the
supplementary support plate.
For cross cuts, the front face of the
supplementary support plate can
be used together with the base
plate as stop on a guide rail, slat or
similar.
4.9.2
Glider
When a guide rail 33 (Fig. 5) is used, the glider is
used as height compensation 34. It can be fitted both
underneath the supplementary support plate and
underneath the base plate.
Place the glider into the supplementary support
plate or base plate from below and allow it to
engage.
To remove the glider, disengage it and take it
off.
If the glider is not required, it can be stored in its park
position 35 above the supplementary support plate.
5 Operation
5.1 Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must
be made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular
attention
to
the
chapter
"Safety
instructions".
5.2 Switching on and off
Danger
Make sure there is no contact
between workpiece and saw wire
before you switch on the machine.
The workspace underneath the
workpiece must be free of
obstacles. Lead the connecting
cable away to the rear. Hold the
machine with both hands by the
handles provided for that purpose.
Switching on:
Press the switch-on lock 28 (Fig.
1) forward to unlock it.Then, with the switch-on
lock depressed, press the shift lever 29.
As this is a switch without locking device, the
machine will only run for as long as this shift lever is
pressed.
The built-in electronic system provides for jerk-free
acceleration when the machine is switched on and
under load readjusts the speed to the fixed setting.
Switching off:
To switch off, release the shift
lever 29.The switch-on lock automatically takes
effect again and secures the wire saw for
insulation material against accidental switch-on.
On switching off the machine, the automatic brake
takes effect simultaneously. This shortens the slowing
time of the saw wire to approx. 3 second.
5.3 Light
The power tool is equipped with a light module 36
(Fig. 3).
The light module is permanently supplied with power
as soon as the connecting cord is plugged in, and is
then ready for operation.
When the machine is ready for operation, the light
module automatically switches the light on when the
machine is moved or switches it off when the
machine is standing still for longer periods.
5.4 Work instructions
Handling and layout of the wire saw for insulation
material DSS 300 correspond to a portable circular
saw. The riving knife/splitter 4 prevents the saw wire
