9.4.2 Shifting the stop rail (fig. 15, 16)
1. In order to move the stop rail (17) to the lower guide sur-
face, loosen the two screws (16a) to release the stop rail
(17) from the holder (16).
2. Pull the stop rail (17) along the groove and out.
3. Turn the stop rail (17) and slide the sliding block along the
second groove (39).
4. Shifting to the higher guide surface must be carried out in
the same way.
9.4.3 Cutting width (fig. 15, 16)
• The parallel stop (7) must be used when cutting sections of
wood lengthways.
• The parallel stop (7) can be mounted on both sides of the
saw table (1).
• The parallel stop (7) can be set to the required dimension
with the aid of the scale (38) on the saw table (1).
• Tighten the two locking knobs (15) to fasten the parallel stop
(7) in place.
• Perform a test cut to measure the width before cutting the
real workpiece. In this way you avoid inaccuracies with the
scale or the setting.
9.4.4 Setting the stop length (fig. 15, 17)
In order to avoid the material to be cut becoming jammed, the
stop rail (17) can slide in a longitudinal direction.
Rule of thumb: The rear edge of the stop should intersect an
imaginary line that starts roughly at the centre of the saw blade
and runs to the rear at 45°:
1. Set the required cutting width.
2. Loosen the screws (16a) and slide the stop rail (17) far
enough forward that it touches the imaginary 45° line.
3. Tighten the screws (16a) again.
9.5 Using the transverse stop (fig. 18)
When trimming, the transverse stop (2) must be extended from
the parallel stop (7) with the stop rail (17) (fig. 18).
9.5.1 Extending the transverse stop
1. Remove the stop rail (17) from the parallel stop (7). To do
so, loosen the screws (16a) and release the stop rail (17)
from the holder (16).
2. Slide the sliding block along the groove in the stop rail
(17).
3. Fasten the stop rail (17) with the help of the knurled screws
(18) on the transverse stop (2).
ATTENTION
Do not push the stop rail (17) too far toward to the saw blade
(5). The distance between the stop rail (17) and the saw blade
(5) should be approx. 2 cm.
10. Using the equipment
Working instructions
• After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial
cut in order to check the set dimensions.
• After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach its
maximum speed of rotation before commencing with the cut.
• Take extra care when starting the cut.
• Never use the equipment without the suction function.
• Regularly check and clean the suction channels.
10.1 Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 19)
Longitudinal cutting is when you use the saw to cut along the
grain of the wood. One edge of the workpiece will be pressed
against the parallel stop (7), while the flat side lies on the saw
table (1).
The saw blade guard (4) must always be lowered over the
workpiece. When making a longitudinal cut, never adopt a
working position that is in line with the cutting direction.
1. Set the parallel stop (7) in accordance with the workpiece
height and the desired width (see 9.4).
2. Switch on the saw.
3. Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the work-
piece and push the workpiece along the parallel stop (7)
and into the saw blade (5).
4. Guide at the side with your left or right hand (depending
on the position of the parallel stop) only as far as the front
edge of the saw blade guard (4).
5. Always push the workpiece through to the end of the split-
ter (3).
6. The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until the saw
blade (5) is back in its position of rest.
7. Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the
cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.).
ATTENTION:
The parallel stop must be set parallel with the
saw blade (see 8.7). Check the alignment and ensure that the
parallel stop is firmly seated at regular intervals, particularly
during use and after longer periods not in use. Tighten the
screw again and adjust the parallel stop (see 9.4.3) if neces-
sary. Vibrations can loosen screws and change the position of
the parallel stop.
10.1.1 Cutting narrow workpieces (fig. 20)
Be sure to use a push stick (14) when making longitudinal cuts
in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width. A push stick (14)
is supplied with the saw! Replace a worn or damaged push
stick immediately.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (7) to the width of workpiece you
require (see 9.4).
2. Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always use the push
stick (14) in the area of the saw blade.
3. Always push the workpiece through to the end of the split-
ter (3).
m
WARNING:
With short workpieces, use the push stick
(14) from the beginning.
10.1.2
Cutting extremely narrow workpieces
(fig. 21)
Be sure to use a push block when making longitudinal cuts in
very narrow workpieces with a width of 30 mm and less. There
is no push block supplied with the saw! (Available from your
specialist dealer) Replace the push block without delay when
it becomes worn.
When sawing workpieces, these can become jammed be-
tween the parallel stop and the saw blade, be caught by the
saw blade, and be thrown from the machine. Therefore, the low
guide face of the parallel stop is best used in this case (see fig.
16). If required, change over the stop rail (see 9.4.2).
