Clamping piece, cpl.
For storage purposes, the clamping piece
(of the universal stop) can be fastened on
the bracket 35 intended for this purpose
(Fig. 6 - page 3).
4.2
Mains connection
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
4.3
Upper saw guard
The upper saw guard is designed in accordance with
legal requirements. The saw guard and side covers
are designed to prevent unintentional contact
between the user and the saw blade sprocket area.
So as to ensure this, the side covers always rest on
the table top or the workpiece and automatically
adapt to the thickness of the workpiece. However, in
the case of unfavourable angles and/or workpiece
thicknesses, automatic opening is physically not
possible. The workpiece or the stop system then
presses the side cover in the direction of the saw
blade. Please observe the following instructions to
prevent this:
Always adapt the cutting depth to the workpiece
thickness, see section 5.4.
If necessary, set a sufficient distance between
the stop and the saw blade to allow the side
covers to slide freely.
For acute-angled sections, select the working
direction so that the side covers meet the
workpiece edge as perpendicular as possible.
4.4
Chip extraction
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The inner diameter of the extraction connection is 58
mm (2 9/32 in.).
If you use the machine outdoors or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms, you can also insert the dust bag
that is available as special accessory for short-term
operation. Do not forget that this must be exchanged
at the latest when it is 75% full (with oak and beech
wood dust ensure a dust free disposal!).
4.5
Saw blade selection
Use a sharp tool to obtain a good cut quality and
select a tool from the following list according to
material and application:
Cutting of solid wood crosswise and lengthwise
to the grain direction and cutting of uncoated chip
boards, plywood and the like:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 190 x 2.0 x 30, (7 1/2 in.
Ø / 30 mm bore / 5/64 in. thickness), 36 alternate
top bevels
Cutting of coated boards:
-
TCT circular saw blade Ø 190 x 2.0 x 30, (7 1/2 in.
Ø / 30 mm bore / 5/64 in. thickness), 30 hollow
bevels
Cutting of softwood crosswise to the grain
direction:
-
CV circular saw blade Ø 190 x 2.0 x 30, (7 1/2 in.
Ø / 30 mm bore / 5/64 in. thickness), 56 teeth
4.6
Saw blade change
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Set the saw blade to the maximum cutting depth
(see chapter 5.4).
Turn the wing bolt 2 (Fig. 12 - page 4) on the
upper saw guard counterclockwise up to the
stop. Push in the wing bolt and pull off the saw
guard upwards.
Reach through the front handle recess 10 (Fig.
10 – page 4) and pull the spring catch 20
forward. Lift the table insert 17, pull it forward
and remove it.
Open the cover 28 (fig. 9 - page 4) by swinging
it upwards or backwards.
Press the locking button 21 (Fig. 9 - page 4) and
turn the saw blade 25 until the button engages.
Remove the hexagon head socket wrench 22
from its retaining bracket 26 on the lower saw
guard and release the hexagon socket head cap
screw 23 by turning clockwise.
Remove the front saw blade flange 24 and
remove the saw blade 25 upwards.
Insert the new saw blade.
